Biky Air 16

Yes: the Biky Air 16 fits 4, 5 and 6 year olds who are 40 to 46 inches tall with a 16 to 20 inch inseam. Height decides between two models, because the Biky Air 14 fits up to 44 inches and the Biky Air 16 starts at 40 inches, so many 4 year olds fit both. Take the Air 14 for a first pedal bike, and the Air 16 for a child who already rides and needs room to grow. Both cost $399, or $449 for the Limited Edition. Measure the inseam first with the Biky Finder.

The Biky Air 16 has two Tektro hand brakes, front and rear, and the lever needs 1.1 kgf (10.8 N) to engage the pads and 1.2 kgf (11.8 N) at full squeeze. Biky measured that with a hanging scale at the lever tip, October 2026, one bike each. The levers are short-reach alloy, sized for small hands. Reviews that mention a single rear brake describe an earlier build. There is no coaster brake, so the wheel freewheels and the child stops with the hands.

The Biky Air 16 fits a 16 to 20 inch inseam, and the seat adjusts from 18 to 23 inches with a quick-release clamp, no tools. Measure the inseam: the child stands against a wall without shoes, you put a book between the legs, and you measure from the floor to the top of the book. Start with the seat low enough that both feet sit flat on the ground. If the child falls between two models, the smaller wheel is easier to start on and the larger one gives room to grow.

The Biky Air 16 arrives partly assembled, and an adult needs about 5 minutes: mount the handlebar (4 mm hex, 6 Nm), install the pedals, clip on the reflectors and check the steering limiter ring. The box holds the pedals marked R and L, a white front reflector, a red rear reflector and the 4 and 6 mm hex keys you need. A kickstand is added on request, as a gift: write to info@bikybikes.com when you order or after delivery and we send one at no charge. Lights are not included, though the rims and the tire sidewalls are reflective. You pick the color at checkout: Candy Cane, Bubble Pink, Splash Blue, Sunbeam or the Limited Edition, five colors in all.

Orders for the Biky Air 16 ship the same or the next business day and usually arrive in 3 to 5 business days, with complimentary standard ground shipping to the 48 contiguous states. 2-Day and Overnight are available at checkout at the carrier's rate, and shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico is $49 per order. You have 90 days from delivery to return the bike: email info@bikybikes.com first for the return address, and the refund goes back to the original payment method within 3 to 5 business days of the return arriving. Return shipping is on us: we email you a prepaid label.

A kickstand is added to the Biky Air 16 on request, as a gift: write to info@bikybikes.com when you order or after delivery and we send one at no charge. Training wheels are not included: the box holds the pedals, both reflectors and the 4 and 6 mm hex keys. Training wheels are not needed, because a child who has ridden a balance bike already knows how to balance. Lights are not included either, though the rims and the tire sidewalls are reflective. Helmets and spare parts are listed in accessories.

Yes, the Biky Air 16 has a Hebie Chainglider: a closed cover around the whole chain, front and rear, so trouser legs, laces and fingers never touch the chain and the chain stays clean. A chainring guard on most kids bikes covers only the front sprocket; the Chainglider encloses the entire chain run. The front chainring is solid, with no cut-outs that could pinch a finger.

No. The Biky Air 16 ships with a freewheel and two Tektro hand brakes, front and rear, with short-reach alloy levers that need 1.1 kgf (10.8 N) to engage. The child brakes with the hands from the first ride and can pedal backward to reset the pedals, and there is nothing to remove or convert later.
