Most first bikes are outgrown in a season. This one is a frame with three setups in the box, changed in about a minute with no tools, so the bike a one year old sits and pushes on is the same bike a four year old glides on.
It weighs 3.3 kg. That is the number that decides whether a bike gets ridden to the end of the road or abandoned halfway, because a child who can pick it up themselves keeps going.
What you are getting
Recognition and origin
leg&go also list a Eurobike Award 2015 and an ISPO Brandnew finalist place for 2016/17, and state the bike is CE marked and tested to EN 71-3. That information comes from the manufacturer. Ask us and we will request the documents for you.
Dimensions and fit
Fit is by height and inside leg, not by age. Stand your child against a wall and measure to the top of the head, then measure floor to crotch. If the seat can go low enough for both feet to sit flat, they are ready.
The front wheel is deliberately larger than the rear. leg&go state this helps the bike ride over tree roots and holes rather than stopping dead at them.
Full specifications
Materials and certification
The frame and front fork are lacquered birch plywood. leg&go use Baltic birch, the same moulded plywood used in design furniture and, historically, in aviation. The flex in that plywood is what gives the frame its natural suspension.
leg&go state the bike is CE marked and has been tested to EN 71-3. EN 71-3 covers the migration of certain elements out of toy materials. It is a materials test rather than a blanket safety certificate, and we would rather say that plainly than let a mark imply more than it covers.
They also state a 5 year warranty on the bike.
Certification information is supplied by the manufacturer. Email us and we will request the documents on your behalf.
Assembly and care
Assembly is required and the manual is in the box. Changing between the three setups afterwards takes about a minute and needs no tools, which is the point of the design.
The tyres are pneumatic, so check the pressure now and then exactly as you would on your own bike. Wipe the plywood with a damp cloth and dry it. Do not store it outdoors, because prolonged damp is the one thing a lacquered plywood frame will not forgive.
Check the fixings every few months and after any hard use, and retighten anything that has worked loose. Follow the manufacturer's manual for setup, seat height and any age guidance.
