Former pro racers Marcel Kittel and Tony Martin have created a new lineup of children’s bikes that feature an oversized lighting system that’s integrated into the frame and paintwork that glows. The li:on models, described as “the most visible – and therefore safest – bikes for children and youngsters”, will go on sale in the next few weeks for delivery early next year.
“Kids on their bikes need to become more visible because every third traffic accident involving a child happens on a bike,” says li:on. “To prevent that, [we are] the first manufacturer to develop 360° visibility. The oversized lighting system with daytime running light, which is completely integrated into the frame, enhances the perception of the bike.
The Discover series of bikes from li:on feature “a specially developed stem that grows with the kids”, wide tyres for grip, and disc brakes. Aimed at children aged from seven years old, they will be available with 24in and 27.5in wheels. The prototypes have just been presented at Eurobike with frame and fork production beginning in Germany this year. Final assembly will take place in Belgium, the idea being “to keep transport distances as short as possible and the footprint as small as possible”.
