Trek Precaliber 16 Kids Bike

The Precaliber 16 Freewheel makes it easy and fun for kids to learn how to ride. This bike has one speed and two handbrakes, so your child can gain confidence using brake levers. It also has a handle integrated into the saddle so you can guide while they ride and tool-free training wheels that are super easy to install and remove. It's a great fit for kids aged 4-5, between 39–46 in (99–117 cm) tall.

It's right for you if: You're excited to teach your little one how to ride, and want to make it a great memory. You're looking for a bike that's fun and simple to use, yet helps your child practise the skills they'll need for big kid bikes – like using hand brakes. You don't want to settle for a big box brand because you know the value of a high-quality bike that will keep your kid confident and in control.

The tech you get: This kid-friendly bike has a lightweight Alpha Silver Aluminium frame, one speed and two hand brakes with kid-sized levers that are easy to pull. Plus, tool-less training wheels that can be installed and removed at the turn of a dial and a saddle with an integrated handle that can be swapped out for an integrated rear light mount.

When it comes to your child's first bike, you want to make sure they're riding something that's comfortable, durable and fun. Each of our bikes, all the way down to the smallest size, is built to our highest standards, so you can feel confident when you choose Trek for your family
