Perfect for small riders beginning their cycling adventure, the Polygon Alice 16 boasts a lightweight yet sturdy frame made from alloy, paired with a reliable Ferrotech fork for nimble steering and smooth rides—ideal for toddlers around 100–125 cm tall. The bike features a Hi-Ten riser handlebar (approximately 530 mm wide) with an alloy quill stem, offering stable control and a comfortable riding posture.
Key drivetrain and stopping components include a steel crankset (28T), steel bottom bracket, and a simple 16-tooth steel cassette, delivering smooth pedalling and easy maintenance. Braking relies on durable alloy caliper brakes, providing safe and reliable stopping power.
The alloy rims with steel spokes house 16″ × 2.10″ rubber tyres, balancing grip and cushioning—plus, this model comes with training wheels to support young learners gaining balance. The comfortable Polygon saddle sits atop an alloy seatpost measuring 27.2 mm × 200 mm, easily adjustable as your child grows.
Weighing around 18 kg, the Alice 16 is lightweight enough for small riders to handle, yet sturdy enough to withstand daily use.
Care & Usage Guidelines
-
Initial Setup: Tighten all bolts (stem, seatpost, handlebars, wheels) to correct torque specs. Ensure vary-free wheel alignment and even brake pad positioning.
-
Adjusting Height: Position the saddle so your child can place their feet flat on the ground—ideal for confident pedalling. Simply adjust the seatpost (27.2 mm diameter) upward as needed.
-
Tyre Maintenance: Inflate tyres to around 20–30 psi to ensure comfortable cushioning and safe riding.
-
Brake Checks: Always confirm full, responsive braking before each ride.
-
Safety Precautions: Ensure your child wears a helmet, gloves, and—if possible—knee/elbow pads. Avoid riding in heavy traffic or wet/muddy surfaces.
-
Cleaning & Storage: Wipe with a damp cloth after use; avoid strong detergents that may harm paint or components. Store dry and sheltered to prevent rust, especially for steel parts.
