Hello, I'm a mountain thief 95270.
Dad often said that brave people learn two skills from an early age, one is swimming, and the other is learning to ride a bicycle. I didn't learn to swim, but I played with bicycles, and I held a bicycle wedding that was also a big one at the time.
Fortunately, the two children's enthusiasm for riding was also high, and the only thing we had to do was change her car at a certain time.
Many new parents have doubts when buying a car for their children:
How big a car do I need to buy?
The baby grows faster, do you need to buy a bigger one, so that it can be used for a longer time...
Here, the mountain thief Jun shares with you that the size of the children's bicycle is not determined according to the baby's age, but the height of the baby. The reason why it is not by age is because the height of babies of the same age is different, and the size required is also different. You can refer to the following optional size reference. ▼
In addition, you can also refer to the following purchase suggestions:
Stage 1: 2 to 3 years old are suitable for scooters
Stage 2: Children over 3 years old should be suitable for 14-inch/16-inch pedaling bicycles
The third stage: 6 years old to 8 years old for the initial experience of the 20-wheel diameter variable speed system
Stage 4: 8-year-olds to 12-year-olds are suitable for 24-inch multi-performance bicycles (share size this time)
The 24-inch multi-performance bicycle is similar to the ordinary adult bicycle, although the frame is small, but it can also face the road conditions and play a good role in reducing bumps and vibrations.
Stage 5: 12 years old and above for 26- and even 29-inch bicycles
Online shopping, it is recommended to choose a more reliable brand. Of course, if you have the conditions, take your child to the physical store to try, so that you are not afraid of buying the wrong one! This time, I have tried a new 24-inch children's bicycle under the Ninebot Nine. ▼
My sister couldn't let go
The price is not cheap 2299, and many people are also asking whether the value is worth starting? This time I will give you a wave of evaluation. Incidentally, let's talk about the precautions for choosing a children's bicycle.
First, unboxing and installation: not so troublesome
The picture below is the outer packaging of the No. 9 bicycle, with different patterns on both sides.
Open the outer packaging, all parts are individually packaged, at a glance. ▼
You need to install the handlebars, pedals, pedals, etc. by yourself. For bicycle veterans, you can install without reading the instructions, if there is no clear, you can also get it on the instructions, so I will not repeat it here.
It is recommended that you install it after you, listen to whether the disc brake has a different sound, and then debug it if necessary.
Adults can also ride around the circle first to ensure that the performance of the car is in good condition, check whether the brakes are effective, and do not brake too sensitive to cause falls.
Second, the appearance: designed for children, textured
After loading the bike, a few photos of the whole vehicle are taken. I have to say that as a bicycle designed for children, the No. 9 children's bicycle is really great in terms of product shape design.
The overall spraying of the body is made of automotive-grade gradient paint, which looks more textured compared to the traditional block color design. Even the elders who passed by said that this looked good. I hope to enrich some color choices in the future, such as pink, which is more suitable for girls.
In addition, it has independent foot braces for easy parking at any time. Not to mention the riding experience, the appearance and configuration belong to the complete victory. Let's talk about it in detail.
Third, the detailed design to ensure the safety of riding
I think that there should be no objection to safety first. After all, security terminology is paramount. So what do you need to pay attention to when it comes to children's bicycles?
1. Aluminum alloy frame
In general, aluminum alloys, high-carbon steels and high-end carbon fibers are the most widely used. The No. 9 bicycle is made of aluminum alloy. In order to save costs, some merchants will use plastic materials in some structures, such as axles, head tubes, etc. Therefore, you need to pay special attention when purchasing.
The No. 9 bicycle is made of aluminum alloy to ensure that the weight of the body does not appear too light and has a certain sense of control.
2. Brake configuration: disc brake + Shimano 8-speed transmission
The braking system is a barrier to your baby's safety, so timely and effective braking settings are essential during your baby's cycling process. Brake systems generally include brake handles, brakes and brake lines. The No. 9 children's bicycle uses a disc brake, and the braking and stability will be much better than the V brake.
⦁ Front and rear mechanical disc brakes
Compared with some models on the market that only use disc brakes in the rear wheel or use lower-end V brakes, the No. 9 bicycle is equipped with front and rear double disc brakes, the brakes are more labor-saving, the braking distance is short, the response is particularly rapid, and after gently pinching the brakes, the vehicle will be completely braked in an instant, which can better cope with various unexpected environments and avoid unexpected situations. Get a feel for the GIF. ▼
⦁ Shimano TourneyTX series 8-speed transmission
In terms of transmission, it is equipped with Shimano TourneyTX series 8-speed transmission, which is a high-end configuration of children's bicycles. ▼
The left handle clearly shows the gear of the current shift. ▼ Speed up according to different terrains.
The measured switching is smooth and smooth, which can achieve accurate speed change, and it is more worry-free and labor-saving when riding. Feel the GIF and you can see that the chain is switching very freely.
3. The grip and brake distance are more appropriate
The distance between the grip and the brake handle is actually very important, we know that there is a big difference between children and adults, the baby's hands are small, the strength is small. Many non-professional brands that do baby carriages still continue the standard of adult cars, and the designed brakes have a large braking distance and strong resistance.
When riding every day, many friends are accustomed to using foot brakes. This is because the distance between the brake handle and the handlebar of many products on the market is too large, which is difficult for children to hold, even if it is barely held, it is not strong, and it is not as useful as the foot brake. The distance between the handlebars and the brakes of the No. 9 bicycle is about 6 centimeters. ▼
This distance is just right for my sister, which can be easily grasped with one hand, and the grip is more comfortable. Children can be more lightly controlled. ▼
4. All-terrain thin-walled tires
A large part of the reason why children fall while riding is that the tires are slipped due to the lack of grip of the bicycle, which puts forward high requirements for the tires, not only to see how wide it is, but also to see how its anti-slip pattern is. The tires of children's bicycles should be wider in size and deeper in the tire pattern, so that they have better grip and better anti-slip and shock absorption! ▼
The No. 9 children's bicycle uses all-terrain thin-walled tires, which are highly elastic and wear-resistant, and are not easy to burst tires. ▼
The tire width of the bicycle is about 5 centimeters, and it is densely covered with anti-slip patterns, taking into account off-road riding and urban pavement, providing stronger shock absorption and grip, making it safer for children to ride. ▼
In addition, the tires use high-strength aluminum alloy wheels, and a thick layer of pneumatic tires is wrapped up, which not only has better shock absorption, but also saves more effort when riding.
5. Seat height adjustment mode
The seat adjustment part uses the expansion fast lock seatpost of the high-end model, the seat is more stable, but it needs to contact the tool to adjust, although it is cumbersome and lost, but fortunately, it does not need to adjust the height frequently every day. Suitable for children with a height of 130-160 cm. ▼
Fourth, the detailed design to ensure the comfort of riding
The baby's physical fitness is much worse than that of adults, so choose a bicycle that is easy to ride, and the child can naturally get more fun by riding. This point is mainly related to the following aspects.
1. Bearing arrangement
The focus on whether the ride is light or not depends on the material of the bearing and the type of drive. The transmission effect of plastic parts is not as good as that of metal parts, and riding and steering are not flexible. In addition, most children's bicycles on the market use a loose bead drum with large resistance, and the non-destructive smooth bearings used in the car bearing drive are the best choice, and the sliding time of the pedaling ring is longer. You can also ask the merchant more when you buy. ▼
2. Ergonomic windmill frame design
The frame is the No. 9 custom multi-ribbed non-equal diameter aluminum alloy frame, super running streamlined design, the integration of the advantages of mountain bikes and road bikes, but also a comprehensive consideration of ergonomic design and weight design, can break the wind and reduce obstacles, pedaling when the force is smoother, the resistance will be much smaller, riding more brisk and labor-saving. ▼
3. The distance from the frame to the saddle
The distance from the frame to the saddle determines the child's body posture when riding, if this distance is too long, then the child will lean forward when riding, lying on the handlebar, affecting the child's spine development. If this distance is too short, it will affect the comfort of children when riding.
The distance from the frame of the No. 9 bicycle to the saddle is about 65 cm (there may be some errors in the measurement), which is more suitable for children over 130 cm.
4. Seat cushion design and comfort
Children ride bicycles, sweat easily, and for a long time cycling, the ass will hurt. Therefore, factors such as whether the cushion is hard or not, whether it is breathable or not, should also be considered!
Fingers press on the bicycle's saddle, and you can clearly feel the softness and a certain rebound.
5. Foot pedal size and workmanship
The pedals of adult bicycles are generally thinner, because adults are accustomed to pedaling down with the soles of their feet, and the thin and narrow shape is more susceptible to force. For children, a wider and more comfortable foot pedal will make their feet more comfortable and will not be easy to slip.
The pedal width of the No. 9 children's bicycle reaches 6cm, which is completely enough for the little ones and the ride is very easy.
Fifth, the riding experience
Let's talk about the riding experience. We also use it to try showmanship, haha! Let's summarize.
1. Relatively relaxed riding posture
As shown below, you can see that the entire waist back of the child is completely straight when riding, the hands are naturally extended forward, and the posture is very relaxed and labor-saving.
The degree of bending of the legs when riding is also just right, neither stretching too straight to reach the ground, nor bending too much to make it difficult, in the words of children: "This bike is so easy to ride!" ”
2. The brake stop is fast and sensitive
In terms of brake braking, the brake handle and handle should not be easy to slip, the child can easily press the brake handle, and can easily use the brake brake to avoid accidental collisions and falls.
Because the hands of children are smaller, the strength is also relatively small. Good bicycle brakes, first of all, the child should be able to easily press the brake handle; The second is to be able to use the brake brakes very easily, and the braking effect should be good.
3, adapt to multiple situations of the road, cycling without bumps
Whether riding on flat roads or bumpy roads, the No. 9 bicycle can be competent, coupled with a better shock absorption configuration, the ride is smoother.
In addition, the aluminum shoulder aluminum leg shock absorption fork blessing, children ride more comfortable, will not feel too bumpy. The shock-absorbing fork is mainly to avoid encountering some more uneven and rough road surfaces to play a cushioning role, which can improve the comfort of riding without deceleration. The aluminum shoulder and aluminum leg shock-absorbing forks are designed to meet this need, and children can ride smoothly and comfortably when riding in bumpy road conditions.
4, with the front wheel quick disassembly, easy to carry!
Children's bicycles are basically put at home, and sometimes they need to be put in the trunk of the car and drive the children out to play. Therefore, whether it is lightweight, whether it can be folded, and does not occupy space is also a problem that many parents consider.
The front wheels can be quick-disassembled without the aid of tools. If you need to travel with a bicycle, it will be very convenient, quickly remove the front wheel to save space, more convenient to carry in the trunk of the car. Of course, you can also install a bike rack directly on top of the car.
Is it worth buying advice for children's bicycles no. 6 and 9?
This car is the first 24-inch bicycle launched by the Number Nine for teenagers, and it is a small mountain off-road bike that allows children to experience the fun of cycling through various road conditions.
As a children's bicycle, the overall configuration is good, supercar streamlined windbreaker frame, all-terrain thin-walled tires, aluminum shoulder aluminum leg shock absorbing forks, front and rear mechanical disc brakes, Shimano TourneyTX series 8-speed transmission, etc. to bring more comfortable, lighter and less labor-saving riding experience. Both on-road and off-road are OK.
24-inch support 130-160 cm tall children, the seat is adjustable, can allow children to ride for three years or more. In addition to the slightly higher price, the overall is still quite satisfactory. Different from the traditional bicycle brands on the market, the unique logo of No. 9 will be more outstanding.
If there is a need for children's bicycle purchase, it can be used as a reference for purchase. Of course, as an ordinary consumer, I would like to mention a few points that I hope can be improved at the end, just for reference.
1. Color matching. It may also be because this is the first time that The Ninth has launched a 24-inch children's bicycle, so it is relatively single in color matching, and the blue gradient is a little more boyish, hoping to enrich the color matching choice in the future.
2. Fender. At present, the configuration of the bicycle is OK to ride on a sunny day, but if it is rainy, it may encounter the problem of mud splashing, if you can choose or standard fender accessories, I personally feel more intimate.
Seventh, the last thing you want to say
Children riding bicycles, it is best to wear protective equipment, which can effectively prevent children from falling, especially when they first learn to ride bicycles, because they are likely to fall and be injured!
If it is the first contact of children, it is recommended that parents accompany them, let the children adapt first, and then let the children ride on their own.
All right! This review is here, I hope to help you refer to It! I'm a mountain thief 95270, bye~
