Product Information
Full details
The Trek Precaliber 12-inch bike is designed for children between 91cm and 102cm tall who are transitioning to their first pedal bike. It offers a confidence-building geometry that makes learning to ride manageable and fun in parks or gardens, though it is specifically intended for younger, smaller riders and will be quickly outgrown as the child hits growth spurts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bike, ensure the seat height is adjusted so the child can touch the ground comfortably with their feet. The training wheels can be attached by hand by following the provided alignment markers on the rear dropouts.
