SureStop, Easy Reach Brakes
Learn more about
With SureStop, there’s only one brake lever, so your kid can’t get confused when things happen fast. Our patented brakes won’t ever flip the bike, and the lever is in just the right place for kid-size hands.
No Coaster Brake
Learn more about
Guardian bikes never have coaster brakes. Period. New riders backpedal to keep their balance. If a bike has coaster brakes, this stops the bike, just when they were getting the hang of it. Our brakes stop faster, with much more control.
Kid-specific Geometry
Learn more about
Kids don’t just need smaller bikes. They need different bikes. With all the right proportions. They need smaller grips. They need less distance between the pedals. They need shorter crank arms and a low center of gravity. All Guardian bikes are designed for kids, from the ground up.
Low Step-over Height
Learn more about
The low cross bar makes our bikes easy to get on, and a lot safer if your kid comes off their seat in a hurry.
Adjustable Seat
Learn more about
Every Guardian bike seat is both easily adjustable and easy to lock down. You can adjust the height to fit your kid as they grow up with the bike.
Eye Candy Decals
Learn more about

Amazing quality
My 6 year old LOVES this bike and so do I. He’s VERY adventurous and hasn’t yet developed a thorough sense of his body in space, so when he cruises down our steep driveway, I am pretty wound up. But with his new guardian bike I am much more at ease because I see a real difference in how he maneuvers it. The brakes are crisp and fast and give him full control over his ride. The frame is light and easy to command. I feel he is much more safe on this than his previous bike.

20 inch small bike review
This is my 4th Guardian Bike purchase and the quality, ease of assembly and customer service is excellent. There is no other company i trust more with my grandchildren safety and enjoyment in riding a bike. Simply the best! Thank you Guardian Bikes!!!! Anthony McIntosh

Good quality
So far, we have enjoyed the Guardian bike. We are still working on my daughter being comfortable using 2 wheels, but she is making progress! Very easy to put together!

My son's first bike
The bike arrived in a couple of days. It was very easy to assemble and my sone loves it. I will definitely stick with guardian bike as the kids gets older.

Great bike to learn on!
My 4 y/o switched from a balance bike to the 20 inch small bike. He is a tall kid. He learned to pedal and use the breaks in the first day, still has some trouble getting started but making good progress after just 3 days. We are very happy with this investment.
