ACADEMY Grade 6 Belt - the lightweight children's bike for beginners The Grade 6 Belt from Academy is a 26 inch bike that has been specially developed for children. In cooperation with the German Institute for Orthopaedics and Sport in Bielefeld, Academy has set itself the goal of producing a children's bike that is as light and high-quality as possible and optimally adapted to children. Ergonomics and weight have had a decisive influence here. Product Details Especially for children who want to learn how to ride a bike, weight is a decisive factor. The Academy Grade 6 weighs just 9 kg and is one of the lightest children's bikes on the market. Due to the low weight, the Academy Grade is easier to handle in curves and makes it easier for little riders to accelerate and climb hills. With a lightweight bike, little ones also don't need as much power to get the bike moving. The low step-through height of the frame makes it possible for the young riders to get on and off the bike.
