174HUDSON Pannier Backpack

Chains are the # 1 issue on bicycles. They get dirty, fall off, and they're at a perfect height for tweens to get grease on their favorite pants. Our rust-free and grease-free Gates Belt is cleaner, smoother, and doesn’t require maintenance. Also, it won’t snap off or break under the weight of a rider.

This is the same industry-leading Shimano hub that's featured on our adult models. The 3-speed internally geared hub carries enough range to get around the neighborhood, in a cleaner, more intuitive to shift, ultra low-maintenance package.

The Launchpad can grow with your ever growing tween/teen rider. The classic lines and tried and true quill stem design easily raises and lowers for comfort across a wide range of ages and sizes.

Dual handbrake levers connected to reliable, intuitive, and smooth stopping V-brakes allow for a comfortable, confident ride.

Bikes get left on lawns with sprinklers, tossed in the back of cars, dropped, and any number of other things that happen. The lightweight aluminum frame won’t rust, neither will the alloy wheels and stainless steel spokes. It’s a quality bike built to last long enough for sharing with siblings and friends.

It’s an awesome feeling when your kids are ready to ride with—and without— you. But road debris and sharp stones on bike paths can be a real bummer. Our puncture-resistant multi-terrain tires help protect against unwanted flats.

The mid-step frame design helps all riders easily mount and dismount the bicycle with an overall geometry that will accommodate the rider as they grow. This allows for much more flexibility over time.
