## Description

&#x2022; Available in Very Orange, Deep Blue, Cool Moss, Cleary Blue&#xA0;and Sorta Pink &#x2022; An extremely lightweight kids bike for girls or boys, weighs just 15 lbs for the coaster brake or 13 lbs for the freewheel option &#x2022; Front and rear child-specific hand brakes on both coaster brake bike, and freewheel option &#x2022; Slim, junior race-style vegan leather saddle designed to maximize a rider&#x2019;s range of motion while minimizing chafing and weight &#x2022; 5mm Allen skewer&#xA0;on front and rear wheels &#x2022; Flip-flop rear hub allows for choice of rear cog on freewheel model &#x2022; Three-piece crank and square taper bottom bracket &#x2022; Internal brake cable routing &#x2022; Single speed drivetrain &#x2022; Grips, handlebars and brake levers designed for little hands &#x2022; Bike geometry designed for first-time riders to sit on the seat with their&#xA0;feet safely planted on the ground. &#xA0;Seat height and reach to the handlebars are adjustable with one bolt, to easily optimize the fit. &#x2022; All Gecko 12&quot; single speed bikes arrive 90% assembled. &#xA0;You install pedals, seatpost, handlebars and front wheel, as outlined in the&#xA0;Cleary Bikes Assembly Manual&#xA0;and seen on our&#xA0;Assembly Videos. &#x2022; Best fit for riders with an inseam of 15&quot; to 18&quot; First time riders feel safest with their bottom on the saddle and their feet flat on the ground. That&apos;s how a child with a 15&quot; inseam will fit the Gecko with a 160mm seat post dropped completely into the seat tube. Once kids get more comfortable on two wheels, they&apos;ll want to sit on the saddle with the balls of their feet on the ground. &#xA0;Thus, a confident rider with a 15&quot; inseam and a first-time rider with a 17&quot; inseam may both feel comfortable with the same set-up. &#xA0;&#xA0; Go Ride Hard.

## Features

- The ideal first pedal bike for young riders.
- Best fit for riders 36 to 42 inches tall. Reference the size chart to measure your child.
- The low center of gravity helps kids stay balanced and in a stable riding position.
- Features a handle under the saddle for easy transport.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Bad geometry at lowest seat setting
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018*

The verdict is still out, but I’m leaving towards agreeing with another user that the geometry is just wrong.Our son is a little too small for it still because with the seat at the lowest, the pedals almost touch the seat on the upstroke and they are behind the seat. This makes it impossible to pedal the bike unless the seat is higher.I’m going to adjust it to see if our older son will be able to ride out

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great choice for the very young cyclist!
  

*by E***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018*

Ordered this bike as a third birthday gift for my little one, who had been riding a balance bike almost daily for about a year. I thought it would take a few weeks for him to warm up to it, but within 24 hours of assembly, he was riding down the block and stopping on a dime! Things I like most about this bike: assembly was easy; the bike is very light, the handbrakes fit little hands perfectly, and the design and style is beautiful. I think it is one of the only bikes you can get in this size (I got the 12”) that is a freewheel bike with no training wheels and so light. We are very happy with this bike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great quality
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2018*

Birthday present for my 3 year old. Husband put it together easily. Its heavy, but my son doesn't really need to pick it up. His inseam is 16", so I got this small bike (which is the same size as his Yvolution balance bike) so he would easily transition. Because of the 12" tires, he has to pedal a lot. But he picked it up day 1! I'm just worried it's too small and too heavy. The larger 14" bikes had minimum inseam of 17", but in hindsight I would have gone with that and just let him work a little harder at learning. Its a great bike, very sturdy and good quality.
