Why Kids LOVE Guardian Bikes
Lightweight Design Learn more about
SureStop, Easy Reach Brakes Learn more about
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.
No Coaster Brake Learn more about
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.
Kid-specific Geometry Learn more about
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 Learn more about
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 Learn more about
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.
Eye Candy Decals Learn more about
Our bike colors and designs were developed by kids, for kids, to make our bikes the coolest bikes on the block. Our Guardian 20 Inch Small Bike line uses water-transfer decals with a clear coat finish, giving the whole bike a polished shine.

Thank God
Nice to buy a kids bike that isn't a pile of junk. No comic book characters on this bike, but I'll take that all day. This bike is actually built to last and I won't spend more time pumping up cheap tires or fixing other parts falling off. Thanks for making a decent product Guardian!

It’s ok to take your time learning!
Our daughter just turned 6 and is switching off training wheels and is able to balance the 15 seconds as recommended on her new Guardian bik. She is also not in a rush to do it all in a day. She is beginning to notice the pressure and some judgement from others to be riding without training wheels at this age so this has been a great lesson in it being fine to feel frustrated and you don’t have to do everything like everyone else. She enjoys riding a bike and that’s all that matters, but we’re grateful to find a bike like Guardian to make the transition easy and fun. Thanks!

Great bike!
Our daughter got the hang of the pedals on her 14” bike right before her 5th birthday. I used the bike sizer based on her height and purchased the 20” small bike for her based on that recommendation. I thought it was a pretty big jump up for her size-wise, but she hopped on it and pedaled away immediately. She is so proud of her new big bike! Arrived quickly and in time for her birthday and was so easy to assemble! Definitely recommend!

Love this bike
Great experience overall. Setup was easy and our daughter learned how to ride in 2 days. Training wheels are a thing of the past. This is so much more Intuitive. Love it!

Perfect for 5 year old girl
This bike is amazing. It was very simple to put together and very well built. The braking system is well designed and easy to learn how to use. My daughter is 5. She just learned how to ride without training wheels on her small Disney princess 12” bike. The transition from it to the 20” small guardian bike was flawless and painless. She picked right up on it and has not looked back. I would strongly recommend buying this bike for your little ones.
