Product Details
The Specialized Hotwalk is designed to introduce young riders aged 18 months to 4 years to the joys of cycling through fewer crashes and more smiles. This balance bike makes learning to ride as easy and confidence-building as possible, establishing early skills that translate seamlessly to pedal bikes when the time comes.
Built around a tough A1 Premium Aluminum frame with low standover height, the Hotwalk fits all sizes of little riders within the age range, allowing confident straddling and easy ground contact. The lightweight yet durable construction weighs just 4.1kg, making it manageable for young children to control while remaining robust enough to withstand enthusiastic use and inevitable tumbles during the learning process.
The 12-inch alloy wheels with 16mm depth and 21mm internal width provide stable rolling characteristics, mounted with bolt-on hubs featuring 95mm spacing and reliable loose ball bearings. Revolutionary Rhythm Lite Airless 12x2.3 tires eliminate flat tire worries entirely, allowing young rippers to scoot confidently across both pavement and off-road terrain without maintenance interruptions or parent frustration.
Perfect for parents committed to starting their children's cycling journey early, the Hotwalk provides the confidence-inspiring platform needed to master balance fundamentals. Adult assembly is required, though all necessary tools are included in the box for straightforward setup.
