B'Twin 500 Dark Hero 16" Kids Bike

B'Twin 500 Dark Hero Kids Bike

The 'Dark Hero'-themed B'Twin 500 16-inch bike is perfect for developing your child's cycling skills.

Designed for kids aged from 4 to 6 years (105-120 cm tall), it has a low frame for easy mounting, it features the Stop Easy braking system and it's also fitted with a chain guard and mudguards to protect the chain and prevent any spray from water or dirt. Built-in stand for easy storage. Height-adjustable saddle.

Compatible with 16-inch stabilisers.

Stop Easy innovation: a patented braking system designed for children.: More accessible brakes and a more comfortable grip are the main benefits of our Stop Easy system. For more natural movement, the brake lever is pressed parallel to the handlebars.

Whilst progressive, this innovative brake lever also provides 30% more braking power compared to a conventional brake lever. An innovation from our B'Twin team, loved by both parents and children.

What type of braking system is equipped?: Brake efficiently thanks to the two V-brake brake pads.

These brakes are composed of callipers that exert more or less pressure on the rim to slow or stop the rotation of the wheels.

Wheels / tyres: Tyres with an inner tube (inflatable) and knobs. Their shape gives them a good grip on everyday terrain (paths, grass, etc).

Can stabilisers be added?: Yes, if your child needs them. Our 16" B'Twin stabilisers are compatible with all our bikes in this size. Practical, they can be mounted and removed from the bike without tools.

What about comfort?: We've carefully considered children's morphology: the width of the handlebars and the diameter of the grips are sized for their small hands. The foam saddle provides a comfortable seat.

A bike that grows with the child: The saddle is height-adjustable (using a size 6 Allen key) so it can grow with your child.

The saddle height can be adjusted from 48.5 and 60cm. Our bikes meet the Children's Bike standard (ISO 8098), which is why we cannot offer a tool-free (quick-release) saddle height adjustment system. The decorations are set into the plastic of the guard for greater durability.

What accessories are supplied with the bike?: A bell, front and rear light, wheel reflectors (reflective parts attached to the spokes).

Assembled product dimensions: Length: 118 cm.

Width: 48cm Height: 68.5cm.

Weight: 9.1 kg.

B'Twin Bikes

B'Twin are a popular choice of bike in the UK, partly due to their widespread distribution by Decathlon, and partly due to the value they offer. Their bikes are divided into several slightly overlapping ranges, with Triban best known for road and gravel bikes, and Rockrider gaining a reputation for high performing MTBs to suit every budget. Elops largely consist of a range of city bikes, whereas Riverside focus on hybrids. All in all, B'Twin bikes are well worth checking out given the size of their ranges; there's a model to suit most budgets.
