The Schwinn Elm is a great bike for teaching your child to ride with confidence. The Elm features a SmartStart design, which has been carefully calibrated to a child’s proportions for a comfortable ride and ideal riding position. This includes a lighter bike frame for added control, smaller grip handles to match smaller hands, a narrower pedal position to match narrow kid hips, and much more. Best of all, the Elm grows with your child. The tool-free adjustable seat post easily accommodates your child as they get taller. Plus, the inclusion of both rear coaster and front hand brakes eases the transition to a bigger, hand-break-only bike when they’re ready. Teach your child the joy of riding on the brand you trust with the Schwinn Elm.
