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.

Great bike and great customer service
I came across Guardian Bikes when I was researching bikes for my 7 year old grandson. I found cheaper bikes, but no other bike that was developed with kid safety in mind and that had consistently excellent reviews. The bike was a Christmas gift and it only took dad and granddad a short time to get the bike ready to ride. My grandson rode was very excited and started riding it immediately. The only problem we have had was that my grandson hadn't ridden a bike with gears before and jammed the gears when he tried changing them when the bike was stopped. We contacted customer service and they couldn't have been nicer. They immediately sent us the upgraded shifting mechanism which is easier to shift and told us to send them the bill for having a bike shop install it. Wow! I highly recommend the Ethos 20"large bike! An oh yes, my grandson loves it too!!
United StatesExcellent
It was fantastic! Their product is amazing and if there’s a problem. They are right there to help you. The best!
United StatesEasy process, great results!
I loved the ride finder tool. I was a bit skeptical about buying a 20" bike for my 4 year old, but it fits him perfectly. Set up and building the bike was so simple and the videos were great. Best of all, my son was able to skip training wheels and was riding his first pedal bike within 15 minutes of first trying it out.

United States16 inch Ethos
Our son, who is on the petite side for his age (5 going on 6), needed an upgrade from a 12 inch to a 16. We wanted a light-weight, smartly designed, well-priced, and high quality bike. After a lot of research, we went with the Ethos and are thrilled with this bike. Our son has a blast when he’s riding, and we love the safety features! Shipping and install was a breeze. Highly recommend!
