A special place is occupied by a bicycle in the life of adolescent boys. For them, he is not only a means of transportation, but also an element of his own unique style that distinguishes a young man from other children. In addition, many young people use this mode of transport for sports, so they can make special demands on it.
In this article we will tell you what to look for when choosing and buying teen bikes for boys from 7 years old, and which manufacturers are best to give preference.
How to choose the best teen bike for boys?
In the production of all teenage bicycles, the same details as in adult models are used, but they still have some features. So, bicycles for teenage boys have the following distinctive characteristics:
- soft suspension;
- a thinner and narrower steering wheel;
- understated frame;
- reduced diameter of the wheels. As a rule, for boys aged from 7 to 9 years old, they buy bicycles with 20-inch wheels, and for teens from 10 to 15 years - 24-inch wheels. Nevertheless, this parameter should be selected individually in each case, because every child has a unique physique and constitutional features.
In order to choose a suitable bike for a teenager, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the ride for which it is intended. In particular, if a child needs a vehicle for driving on a level surface, it will be suitable for a city or leisure bike. If a boy has to overcome obstacles with the help of his "iron friend", or he plans to engage in sports riding, it is better to give preference to a mountain bike.
Buy such a transport is necessary only in specialized stores. Try to go there with your son, because all teenagers already have their own tastes, and it can be very difficult to please them. In addition, in order for your child to be comfortable, and his spine did not experience additional loads, it is very important to choose a bicycle that will fully comply with his biometric parameters.
Being in the store, the child must sit on his future "iron horse" and, if possible, adjust the steering wheel and seat for him, and also try to travel a little and understand whether it is convenient for him to ride on this model. Do not buy a bicycle "for growth" - it will help to distort the spine and other health problems of the child.
In addition, when choosing a teen bike for boys, you should also consider how much it weighs. On average, the mass of models with 24-inch wheels is from 12 to 15 kilograms, and 20-inch models - 8-10 kg. Naturally, it is better for a child to buy a bicycle, which weighs not too much, because there can always be situations when a boy will have to carry it on himself.
Among the huge number of manufacturers of bicycles for teenagers, all parents choose those firms whose products are more suitable for them at a price and other parameters. The most popular models are brands such as: Stels, Kellys, Specialized, Forward, Kross and Challenger.
