Bottom line

The Cleary Hedgehog is a high-quality bike for children. Kenda Kontact tires allow the bike to roll smoothly on pavement and dirt. Low-rise, wide handlebars place riders in a comfortable and controlled riding position. Some experts found the standard gear ratio was low, limiting their child's top speed. With small handbrakes, a freewheel and child-specific cranks, experts found the bike comparable to 16" bikes by Woom and Prevelo. This bike may be similar to its competitors, given its use of child-specific features. But fortunately for buyers, it comes at a more affordable price.
