The Orbea Kimu 16 is for the jump from balancing to pedalling. Its convertible layout lets a young rider learn to coast and use the brakes first, then add pedals when they are ready. The small 90mm cranks and single-speed drivetrain keep those first pedal strokes straightforward.

The details are scaled down properly: a 500mm integrated bar with slim grip sections, child-sized hydraulic brake levers and 16in wheels with 2in Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tyres. An enclosed chain guard keeps the moving drivetrain covered, and the saddle includes a handle for adult help.

Orbea suggests a rider height of 94-115cm. Use that as a starting point and check saddle height and control reach with the rider before choosing.

Orbea Kimu 16 2027 - Balance first, pedals next

Balance first, pedals next

Kimu 16 can begin as a balance bike, then become a pedal bike when the rider is ready. They can learn to coast, steer and brake before adding the next skill.

Small hands, useful brakes

The 19mm grip section and child-sized Clarks brake levers bring the controls within easier reach. Hydraulic discs provide braking with a light lever action while the rider learns to manage speed.

Keep the chain covered

An enclosed chain guard separates clothes and fingers from the drivetrain. The single-speed setup also removes gear changes from those first pedalling lessons.
