Distinguishing features
Super Special Belt Drive (instead of regular chain) EARLY RIDER Aluminum (Bright Light Grey/ silver colored) 16'' previous version Belter 16 (Black instead of brown Saddle; MAXXIS instead of Vee Tires/tyres, etc.)
A very rare find (we've only seen one other Belt Drive so far in real life.)
The award winning Belter is one of the lightest 16" bicycles in the world.
*The dad of older brother's friend from StrongStart during ages 3-4 informed us that the Belter 16 was purchased (many years ago) from the North Shore bike shop. As of Fall 2022 (September last year), EARLY RIDER no longer sold their special high-quality bikes through retailers.
The bike accompanied many children's growth development stages:
• Older brother's friend from StrongStart during ages 3-4 later outgrew the Belter 16 and sold it to us when they were 5 years old.
• It was on the Belter 16 when younger sister managed biking herself.
• Older brother liked the Belter 16 so much that he still insisted on the same make of a bigger size when he was 8 years old. We then bought an EARLY RIDER Belter 24 shipped from the UK headquarter*, and the Belter 24 and Belter 16 were like siblings too, being ridden by older brother and younger sister respectively.
• Recently, the Belter 24's front tire/tyre deflated, and older brother would still ride the Belter 16 in a 'BMX trick riding style'.
Since we realized the loss of the bike, child expressed more fear: afraid of even going by herself to the open concept kitchen with casual dining and living areas while family members were right in other adjunct areas with connecting doors/ windows open.
