A great choice for teaching your youngster how to ride a bike, the 16" Scorch sidewalk bike from Schwinn features a grown-up look that's great for showing off around the neighborhood. It's outfitted with an enclosed chain guard to help prevent snags and dirty pant cuffs. The rear coaster-style brake makes stopping a breeze for new cyclists, and the Scorch also includes a front caliper brake which allows the child to learn how to use a handbrake safely. We've included training wheels for stability while your little one learns the invaluable skill of bike riding and a tool-free adjustable seat post that lets your child grow with the bike. And we're only just getting to the best part. The Scorch features all-new Schwinn SmartStart geometry, which means that the bike has been carefully designed to match a kid's body type to create a more comfortable, ideal riding position. This includes a lighter bike frame for added control, smaller grip handles to match smaller hands, a more narrow pedal position to match narrow kid hips, and much more! Other kid's bikes are just shrunken-down versions of adult bikes, so typically the grips are too large, the pedals are too wide and the seats are too large. The Scorch is a parent and child favorite. You probably learned how to ride on a Schwinn all those years ago. Now it's time your child does too.
