So much to love in one bike
SureStop, Easy Reach Brakes
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.
Lightweight Design
The Guardian Ethos has a lightweight steel frame, making it easy to control while still durable enough to outlast your kid. Like every Guardian bike, it’s kid-tested to be safe and fun to ride.
Eye Candy Decals
Our bike colors and designs were developed by kids, for kids, to make our bikes the coolest bikes on the block. Our Guardian Ethos line uses water-transfer decals with a clear coat finish, giving the whole bike a polished shine.
Kid-specific Geometry
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.
Low Step-over Height
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.
Adjustable Seat
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.
No Coaster Brake
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.

United StatesThis company was so fabulous, called a couple of times with different questions and always had someone very knowledgeable and helpful. The bike was backordered, but was worth the wait. Really great quality!
Hi Diane, Thanks for reaching out to us! Glad to hear we were able to help you out. Thank you for being a Guardian bike customer and supporting us. Sam @ Guardian Bikes
United StatesWhen the rest of the world seemed to be sold out of kid bikes, guardian bikes came through when my son needed a new bike during a global pandemic! They have excellent customer service and I am totally satisfied with our experience. I'd be happy to buy from them again.
Hi Lindsay, We are happy to hear you love your new bike! Please reach out to us by phone or email if you have any questions. Sam @ Guardian Bikes
United StatesWe have been so impressed with the speed and quality of customer service at Guardian! Customers for life!
Hi Melissa, Thanks so much for your feedback! We're so happy that you had a great experience with us here at Guardian. -Laura
United StatesThe bike is great! My 7-year-old was able to learn how to ride a bike with this. Only thing that might need improvement are the grips on the handlebars. The pattern on the grips makes it uncomfortable for my daughter to hold on to it for a long time.
Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so glad to hear your 7-year old learned how to ride on a Guardian! In addition, we've have passed along your feedback on the grips to our product team. All the best, Kaitlin @ Guardian Bikes
United StatesShipping came later than expected(guardian only counts when it ships while most people think when it arrives at your door). Shifter is too hard for my 7 year old to use. She just stays at 6 because she cant downshift. Whats the point of having gears then? Better gearing for more top end speed
Hi Arthur, Please contact us at info@guardianbikes.com and we can help you with the shifter. We are working on improving our shipping times and will strive to communicate more clearly. Thank you Adam @ Guardian Bikes
