Jamis Laser
Best durable starter bike for young children learning to ride.
This is the ideal starter bike for building confidence, thanks to a lightweight aluminum frame that makes handling much easier for small riders. While the coaster brake simplifies stopping, the BMX-inspired geometry provides the stability needed to master balance before eventually ditching the training wheels for good.
