Your kid's ready to graduate from the balance bike, but you're not ready for them to bomb down the driveway with no safety net. The Dinosaur 16 gives them a proper bike — with training wheels still on, a coaster brake that's foolproof to use, and padding everywhere little knees and hands tend to find trouble.

A first "real" bike that's actually built like one
The Radius Dinosaur 16 is a genuine steel-framed kids bike, not a toy dressed up like one. The Hi-Ten steel BMX-style frame has a low stand-over height, so your child can get on, off and steady themselves confidently — a small thing that makes a huge difference to a first-time rider's confidence.

Braking that's easy to learn
Instead of asking a five or six-year-old to master hand brakes straight away, the Dinosaur 16 pairs a rear coaster foot brake — pedal backwards to stop, simple as that — with a linear pull front brake and short-reach levers sized for small hands. It's the setup that lets kids build real bike control at their own pace.

Training wheels included, so you're not sourcing them separately
Removable training wheels come standard, giving your child the stability to build confidence and pedal technique before those wheels come off for good — perfect for the 5–7 age range this bike's built for. No extra shopping, no compatibility guesswork.

Comfortable enough to actually want to ride
A comfortable saddle and grip set round out the build, so it's not just safe and sturdy — it's a bike your kid will actually want to hop on and ride, not one they complain about after twenty minutes.

Padded where kids actually fall
A protective handlebar and stem pad set covers the spots most likely to meet a knee, chin or hand during those inevitable early wobbles and tip-overs. It's a small addition that gives parents real peace of mind.

Rolls easily, built to take a beating
The 16 x 1.75 tyres are sized for easy rolling on driveways, footpaths and the park, while the 28-hole painted rims and coaster hub are built for the kind of daily, unglamorous use a kids' bike actually gets — dropped in the yard, dragged out again the next morning, and ridden hard in between.

Adjustable as they grow
The quill-type stem allows for real handlebar height adjustment, so the bike can be set up properly for your child now and adjusted as they grow into it — getting more life out of one bike rather than needing to upsize straight away.

Whether it's their first pedal bike or a step up from a balance bike, the Dinosaur 16 gives your child a sturdy, properly built bike to actually learn on.

FAQ:

Who is the Radius Dinosaur 16 best for?
It's built for kids around 5–7 years old taking their first steps onto a pedal bike. The low stand-over frame, coaster brake and removable training wheels make it a genuinely confidence-building first "proper" bike for beginner riders.

Will it suit my child's height, or should I size up?
It's designed around the 5–7 age bracket rather than a strict height cut-off. If your child is on the smaller or taller end of that range, pop into the Broome store and we can check the fit before you buy.

Does it come with training wheels, or do I need to buy them separately?
They're included and removable. Your child can build confidence and balance with them fitted, then you simply take them off when they're ready for two wheels — no separate bike or setup needed.

Is the coaster brake safe and easy for a young kid to use?
Yes — it's often the easiest brake for beginner riders to learn, since stopping is as simple as pedalling backwards. The front linear pull brake with short-reach levers adds a second, gentler option as their hand strength develops.

Is it worth it compared to a cheaper kids' bike?
The steel frame, comfortable saddle and grips, and proper removable training wheels set it apart from lightweight toy-store bikes that often don't hold up to daily use. It's built to actually survive a kid learning to ride between ages 5 and 7 — and to be handed down rather than replaced after one season.

What warranty does it come with?
All our bikes come with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects and material issues under normal use.
