Most first bikes are heavy, wobbly, and hard to stop. The Petal 12" is built from alloy — lighter than the steel alternatives — with colour-matched training wheels already fitted and a coaster brake that even the youngest riders can use without thinking about it.

The Petal is built around a 6061 alloy frame using Radius kids comfort geometry — that means a genuinely low stand-over height so your little one can put both feet flat on the ground and feel steady from the moment they climb on. Alloy keeps it light, which matters a lot at this size: a bike your child can actually pick up and manoeuvre is a bike they'll want to ride.

Stopping made simple

The rear coaster brake stops the bike when your child pedals backwards — the most intuitive way for young kids to slow down, no hand strength required. A full-length chainring guard keeps little fingers and clothes away from the drivetrain while they're getting the hang of it.

Comfortable from the first ride

Child-specific grips with a textured surface minimise hand slippage, and the children's saddle is sized and padded for small riders. A protective stem pad set is fitted as standard — a small thing that makes a real difference at this age.

The basket seals the deal

A front basket comes included — because at this age, every ride is more fun with somewhere to put a favourite toy or a snack for the park. Built and checked here in Broome, so it goes home ready to ride.

FAQ:

Who is the Petal 12" best for? It's designed as a first pedal bike for young girls — typically 2-5 years old. The low stand-over frame lets them get both feet on the ground easily, and the coaster brake means they don't need hand strength to stop. A great step up from a balance bike.

What's a coaster brake and is it right for my child? A coaster brake stops the bike when your child pedals backwards — no squeezing a lever needed. It's the most common setup for first bikes because young kids find it completely natural to use. When they're ready to move to hand brakes on a bigger bike, the front brake habit comes easily.

Do the training wheels come off when she's ready to ride solo? Yes. The training wheels are reinforced (not flimsy aftermarket add-ons) and designed to be removed cleanly once your child has their balance. The colour-matched design means the bike still looks great with or without them.

Is a 12" bike the right size for my child? The 12" wheel size with a low stand-over frame suits most children around 2-5 years old The key fit check is whether your child can sit on the saddle with feet flat on the ground. If you're not sure, pop into the Broome store and we'll check the fit in person.
