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.

Guardian bike is cool accessories not so much
Guardian bike is great except this chain guard keeps clashing with the chain, however I purchased a matching bell with the bike. Bell arrived not functioning properly and requested replacement. First replacement never even got sent, order seems to be “stuck” as per cs rep, how about you unstuck it. Second attempt at replacing, still waiting………………

Hey Tony, Thank you so much for the feedback. We are so sorry for the issue! I flagged this with our customer service team & shipping department, and they are working to resolve ASAP. We will be in touch shortly! Thank you, Kaitlin @ Guardian Bikes
Lots of crying
Even though we did the sizer he doesn’t fit the bike and cannot ride it.

Hi Carrie, Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. We would love to learn more about the sizing issue so we can make adjustments to RideSizer as needed. Also, we can get an exchange started. Our team will be in touch with you shortly! Thanks, Kaitlin @ Guardian
Arrived scratched, sticky and poorly built
Such a disappointment. Neat bike, but upon unpacking it, the handlebars were scratched, the header was sticky and the brakes rubbed both the back and front tires when they weren't being used. After I adjusted the bikes, my 3 year old rode it for about a half hour before the back wheel seized because the horizontal dropouts weren't tightened properly, causing the chain to tighten too much and chipping off paint at the hub.
Cranks too short for any leverage
Based on the size guidance we purchased a 14” bike for our granddaughter who measured on the smaller end of the 14” range. While the bike is well constructed and lighter than cheaper bikes, the pedal cranks are too short for any pedaling leverage in comparison to other cheaper bikes even for a child on the smaller end of the size range guidance. She struggles to get any momentum even with the seat raised higher than she’d like. Our granddaughter actually does better on the neighbors cheaper heavier 14” bike with longer cranks. The geometry on this 14” bike is just wrong and given the sizing guidance I’d be reticent getting the next size up if the cranks are also too short.

Hi Ken, Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. We passed your thoughts along to our product team who will review. All the best, The team @ Guardian Bikes
It’s ok…heavy and poor kickstand design
I will start by saying this is one of the few 14 inch bikes that allow back pedaling and has an awesome single hand brake which I thought would be easier for an early rider. This was the main reason I purchased it. This bike is really heavy in fact compared to the 16 inch Woom we have it feels a lot heavier. The weight with the poor kickstand design (needs to be a bit shorter) means this bike falls over a lot. Also the bell accessory that we bought for it doesn’t fit on the handle bar.

Hi Mark, Thanks for your review! We are looking into the kickstand issue to see if maybe the design can be improved. We would love for you to email us a photo of your bike with the kickstand down so we can have a look. Our bikes are in the lightweight category but if you compare across makers, some might be slightly lighter. Our 14" bike weighs 16 lbs, while one from a big box store would weigh 20 lbs or more. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns! -Laura @Guardian Bikes
