ACADEMY Grade 2 belt is ideal for first experiences on a bike thanks to its extra low weight, ergonomic body position and quality design. The bike is suitable for children from 2 to 4 years old.

Grade 2 Belt has a modern belt drive that requires almost no maintenance. It weighs only 5.3 kg, making it one of the lightest children's bikes. Ultra-light aluminum frame sets, in combination with light and high-quality components, guarantee the necessary stiffness and at the same time very low weight.

• ACADEMY bikes were designed by the German company S'COOL in cooperation with the German Institute for Orthopaedics, Osteopathy and Sports Medicine. The Q-factor describes the overall width of the cranks and is important when it comes to the efficiency of the pedaling. The Q-factor should match the rider's step width (the legs are not into an A-position when pedaling) for more power and efficiency. ACADEMY bikes offer one of the lowest Q-factors and are optimally designed for children to pedal.

Excellence in motion

• Academy children's bicycles were developed in cooperation with the German concern Cool Mobility, which produces some of the highest quality and lightest bicycles more than 15 years. It is a high-quality German brand that offers not only balance bikes, children's and junior bikes, but also bikes for adults.
• Emphasis is placed on each model to meet the requirements of both children and parents - safety, performance, quality, modern design and sustainability. Cool Mobility has developed a standard that far exceeds the set requirements. These bikes will last for several generations.

Emphasis on ergonomics

• ACADEMY bikes were developed in cooperation with the German Institute for Orthopaedics, Osteopathy and Sports Medicine. Under the direction of Dr. Andreas Elsner has succeeded in developing ultra-light junior bikes that meet the latest ergonomic requirements. Comfort and ergonomics are ensured thanks to deep and narrow bottom bracket to optimalize movement and ergonomics. Short cranks and the upright sitting position make it possible to put feet on the ground at any time and still ensure an ergonomic knee position while driving. The shaping of the frame is adapted for children for easier get on the bike.
• The standard for ACADEMY children's bicycles is the extra low weight thanks to the aluminum frame and other components. The low weight of the bike is ideal for small riders. The weight of the bicycles for all models is 40 % less than a normal child's body weight. A lightweight children's bike will be appreciated not only by children, but also by parents, for example when carrying it, but also at smaller elevations, which children can easily handle even without help with pushing.
