This an indestructible and maintenance free Supercycle Charge that was $189. One of the nicest features of the bike is the fully adjustable handlebars that can be raised or lowered about 5 inches. This allows for a child around 5 years to begin to ride the bike and continue to ride for many years as the handlebars are raised. Most children bikes feature non adjustable handlebar stem.
Sized for fun and simplicity, the Supercycle Charge delivers reliable performance without the complexity of gears. A lightweight Steel frame with a rigid alloy fork, and single-speed drivetrain keep maintenance low and pedaling easy on young legs. Short-reach linear pull brakes and wide all terrain tires offer confident control across paths, parks, and neighborhood trails.
Suspension definitely has its place in the cycling world, but for many kids, the added complexity and weight of a suspension fork simply isn’t worth it. The Supercycle charge 20 inch features a light, strong front fork that keeps things tight, and lets the tires absorb vibrations and shock.
The bike has a single speed which makes the bike basically maintenance free. There are no
1. Shifter cable to replace when they corrode
2. No rear derailleur to adjust to make the bike shift
2. No shifter to need replacement when the bike drops or the shifter corrodes
4. No derailleur to replace if it gets damaged by dropping the bike or just hitting an object.
5. No chain to replace as the chain never moves and wears out as it passes over gears.
6. No rear gears to replace as they wear from the chain passing over them from gear to gear.
The bike is trouble free and maintenance free,
Stopping is provided by Linear pull V-brakes that provide superior braking. The bike does not have a Coaster brake which makes it also ideal for taking to the bike park.
The tires on the bike at 20-inch all terrain tires suitable for off-road or on pavement. The wheels are also lightweight aluminum that makes pedaling much easier.
