Dawes Blowfish 16" Kids Bike, Alloy Frame and Wheels, Single Speed in Orange

Dawes Blowfish 16" Kids Bike in Orange

This 16 inch kids bike from Dawes is designed for young riders taking their first steps beyond balance bikes and tiny wheels. Weighing just 8.7kg on a 10 inch alloy frame, the bright orange Blowfish is easy to push, steer and stop. That lightness matters: children who can control their bike feel braver, ride further and come home wanting another go tomorrow.

Lighter Frame, Happier Little Legs

Heavy bikes wear children out before they reach the end of the road, and steering a lump of steel knocks their confidence. The Blowfish avoids that with a Dawes Alloy 6061 Junior frame, alloy single wall rims, 14G spokes and 28H nutted alloy hubs. A steel unicrown fork keeps the front strong, alloy V-brakes on junior reach levers provide dependable stopping, and a ball bearing bottom bracket keeps every turn of the 140mm cranks smooth. One single 16T gear means there is nothing to learn but pedalling.

Reasons Parents Choose the Blowfish 16

• 8.7kg Total Weight: light enough for a young child to lift, manoeuvre and wheel back home when their legs are tired.
• Alloy V-Brakes: junior reach levers put reliable stopping power within easy reach of smaller fingers on every descent.
• Quill Stem and 35mm Rise Bar: a 500mm wide handlebar with a gentle rise sets up a comfortable, upright riding position.
• Single Speed Gearing: a 36T chainring and 16T freewheel give one simple gear, so beginners can focus on balance.

16 Inch Kids Bike Specs

For Kids Ready to Keep Up

It suits children stepping up from a balance bike who now want to join family walks and trips to the playground on their own two wheels. The cushioned junior saddle and upright stance keep them comfortable, so short rides naturally turn into longer ones.

FAQs

Q: How durable are the wheels and frame?

A: The Blowfish uses a 6061 alloy junior frame with alloy single wall rims, 14G spokes and nutted alloy hubs, which Dawes describes as robust and long lasting. Regular checks of the tyres and brakes keep it in good order.

Q: Will I need to put it together?

A: A little. The bike arrives approximately 85% assembled, so a few parts need fitting and adjusting before riding. Basic tools are usually enough, and a local bike shop can help if you prefer a professional setup.

Q: How soon will my bike be delivered?

A: We deliver to mainland UK addresses (with tracking). Delivery options, costs and estimated times are shown at checkout and in our Shipping Policy.
