Early Rider Seeker 14 Kids Mountain Bike Review

Level 5 expert

With zero slop, play or unwanted flex, the Seeker 14 really feels like an adult mountain bike that’s been shrunk in the wash.

Early Rider Seeker 14: Introduction

Level 1 expert

The belt drives a wide rear sprocket, which is attached to the rear hub. There is no backpedaling coaster brake which I personally dislike.
