Why Kids LOVE Guardian Bikes
Award Winning SureStop Brake System
With SureStop, there’s only one brake lever, so your kid can’t get confused when things happen fast. Our patented brakes won’t ever flip the bike, and the lever is in just the right place for kid-size hands.
Guardian bikes never have coaster brakes. Period. New riders backpedal to keep their balance. If a bike has coaster brakes, this stops the bike, just when they were getting the hang of it. Our brakes stop faster, with much more control.
Kids don’t just need smaller bikes. They need different bikes. With all the right proportions. They need smaller grips. They need less distance between the pedals. They need shorter crank arms and a low center of gravity. All Guardian bikes are designed for kids, from the ground up.
The low cross bar makes our bikes easy to get on, and a lot safer if your kid comes off their seat in a hurry.
Every Guardian bike seat is both easily adjustable and easy to lock down. You can adjust the height to fit your kid as they grow up with the bike.

I really wanted to like this bike
I had high hopes for this bike but ultimately was let down in the end. I put together the bike and started undertaking the teaching process. I was advised by a guardian associate to take a step back andgo to balance bike status but when I went to take off the pedals I have been unable to do so. Harder than advertised to get my little one riding but perhaps I am doing things wrong? Regardless it should be easy to assemble and disassemble for the different modes which hasn’t been so.
Don't understand the hype!
Upon picking up this (fully) assembled bike for the first time, my first initial thought was, this is so heavy, for a 14" toddler bike!!! How on earth is my 3 yo son suppose to maneuver on it?! Also, the paint on the handle bars were already scratched right out of the box! This speaks to the quality (or lack of quality) of the paint. We are so disappointed with this bike!
Guardian Bikes
Hi, We are so sorry to hear this. Most likely the paint was damaged in shipping. Please reply to our email and we will get you taken care of. :) Sam @ Guardian Bikes
Brakes locked up
After just a couple of rides the brakes locked up, not allowing wheels to spin.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the feedback. Please send us some photos at info@guardianbikes.com. We have experienced bike technicians on staff happy to assist and make this right. Sam @ Guardian Bikes
Bent Rim
I was expecting a quality bike but unable to use the front brake because the rim is so bent. I have to disconnect the front brake, making the surestop worthless. Not a good experience so far.
Guardian Bikes
Hi Michael, Thank you so much for the feedback. We are so sorry about the experience! It looks like the bike was sent back to us in Indiana for inspection, and the replacement 14" arrived safe and sound. We appreciate your patience with us! Thanks, Kaitlin @ Guardian Bikes
Shipping costs more than the bike
If you live outside of the contiguous U.S. you will have to pay almost $200 to get this bike shipped. It's pretty insane. The lower 48 pays $29 flat rate for shipping even though it definitely costs more than that to ship the bike. It's too bad, I would love to get my kids these bikes. Please consider more reasonable costs for all states, not just the lower 48.

Hi there Rodrtal, Thank you so much for the feedback. We are working to negotiate lower rates with our carrier for our friends in Alaska & Hawaii. We hope to bring those costs down in the future! All the best, Kaitlin @ Guardian Bikes
