Two gears, without another control to learn. The Early Rider Belter 20 Auto pairs a belt drive with a Sturmey Archer two-speed automatic hub. It changes gear as riding speed changes, letting the rider concentrate on where they're going.

Everyday riding made simpler

The gears sit inside the rear hub and the belt needs no chain oil. That makes this a useful choice for families who want a 20-inch everyday bike with a little more range than a single-speed, without introducing a manual shifter.

The brushed aluminium frame and fork keep the build straightforward. Short 110mm cranks suit smaller legs, while Schwalbe Billy Bonkers 2.0-inch tyres give a comfortable platform for paths, parks and everyday exploring. Tektro brakes use short-reach levers.

Is the Auto the right choice?

The appeal here is simplicity. For a rider ready to learn manual gear changes and spend more time on dirt, the Seeker 20 offers a geared, trail-focused alternative. If you're unsure which suits your routes and rider, give us a call and we'll help narrow it down.

Fit and weight

  • Standover height: 500mm (manufacturer guidance).
  • Manufacturer-quoted weight: 7.77kg, without pedals.

Standover is a frame measurement, not a minimum inside-leg recommendation. A fit check is still the best way to choose the right size.
