Kids Bike Rental

The Merida Matts J20 and J24 Kids Bikes are fun and cool bikes for 6-13 year olds who want to enjoy riding in comfort on two wheels. The lightweight alloy frame on both smaller and larger models is much easier to handle and control than a steel frame which kids bikes usually use. The durable suspension fork and alloy rims are built to handle the bumps kids may encounter so that these bikes can last through a few challenges. 

The Merida Matts J20/24 is a kids’ mountain bike designed for young riders who are just starting to explore off-road cycling or are looking to develop their skills on various terrains. It’s a versatile and durable bike that can serve several purposes, making it a great choice for young riders and their cycling adventures. Here are some things the Merida Matts J20 is good for:

1. Learning to Ride Off-Road: The Merida Matts J20/24 is an excellent bike for introducing young riders to off-road cycling. It’s built with a sturdy frame and, depending on the model year, may feature a suspension fork to help absorb bumps and vibrations on uneven trails. This makes it a suitable option for kids who want to explore dirt paths, gravel trails, and light trails.

2. Building Confidence: The bike’s design and geometry are tailored to provide young riders with a comfortable and controlled riding experience. This can help build confidence in their cycling abilities as they navigate different terrains and practice handling skills.

3. Exploring Nature: With its off-road capabilities, the Merida Matts J20 allows young riders to explore nature and enjoy outdoor adventures. Whether it’s riding through local parks, forest trails, or countryside paths, the bike can offer an exciting way to connect with the outdoors.

4. Developing Bike Handling Skills: The Merida Matts J20 can help young riders develop essential bike handling skills, such as balance, steering, and braking. These skills are fundamental for safe and enjoyable cycling experiences, both on and off the road.

5. Family Rides: The bike is versatile enough for family rides, whether on paved paths or light trails. It can make family outings more enjoyable, as kids can keep up with adults on their bikes.

6. Exercise and Healthy Habits: Cycling is a great way for kids to engage in physical activity and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The Merida Matts J20 encourages kids to stay active while having fun outdoors.

7. Preparing for More Advanced Riding: As kids become more experienced and confident on the Merida Matts J20, they may develop a passion for mountain biking. This can set the foundation for transitioning to more advanced mountain bikes as they grow and refine their skills.
