low quad 16x9.jpg

 

Low Quad

Their very first wheels. From 18 months.

 

Four-wheeled, low-to-the-ground stability for the youngest riders just discovering movement. The quad's wide stance and ultra-low seat height lets toddlers push and steer with total confidence — no tipping, no fear, just pure joy. The perfect first vehicle.

  • Minimum seat height 11.4"

  • maximum seat height 16.5"

  • Weight 11.9 lbs 

  • 150 lb weight limit

  • Aluminum 6061-T6 frameset

  • Sealed bearings all-round

  • Tektro disc brakes

  • Easy reach levers

  • Air tires

  • Magnesium alloy wheels

Tadpole Trike

The heel-clearance fix parents didn't know they needed.

 

Some toddlers grow fast — fast enough that the rear axle of a standard trike starts catching their heels. The Tadpole Trike solves this with a front-heavy three-wheel layout that keeps growing legs clear and comfortable. A small detail that makes a big difference.

  • Minimum seat height 11.4"

  • maximum seat height 16.5"

  • Weight 11.9 lbs 

  • 150 lb weight limit

  • Aluminum 6061-T6 frameset

  • Air tires

  • Magnesium alloy wheels

Toddler Trike


When your toddler is ready to move faster and turn tighter, the Toddler Trike configuration opens up a whole new world. Three wheels provide plenty of stability while allowing far greater mobility than the quad,the natural next step for a growing explorer.

  • Minimum seat height 11.4"

  • maximum seat height 16.5"

  • Weight 11.9 lbs 

  • 150 lb weight limit

Low Balance Bike

Learning to balance, the right way.

The transition from supported riding to true balance begins here. Set low to the ground, this configuration lets children coast, steer, and lean into corners,building the instincts they'll rely on for life. No pedals, no distractions, just balance.

  • Minimum seat height 11.4"

  • maximum seat height 16.5"

  • Weight 11.9 lbs 

  • 150 lb weight limit

Big Trike    (No Pedals)

Sometimes you just want to cruise.

 

Not every ride needs to be a lesson. The Big Trike gives older kids a relaxed, no-pedal cruising configuration,great for longer walks with the family, tired legs, or simply a different kind of fun. A welcome change of pace.

High Balance Bike

Room to grow. Same great ride.

 

As legs get longer, the frame flips to the high position,extending the fit range without changing anything about the ride.

No new bike needed. Just a simple conversion and they're back on the road.

  • Minimum seat height 11.4"

  • maximum seat height 16.5"

Pedal Trike

The smartest step to a pedal bike nobody talks about.

 

Before a child can ride a pedal bike, they need to understand pedaling. Our Pedal Trike uses a proper rear-wheel crank-and-pedal drivetrain on a stable three-wheel base, so children can focus 100% on learning the pedaling action without worrying about balance.

  • Minimum seat height 11.4"

  • maximum seat height 16.5"

  • Weight 11.9 lbs 

  • 150 lb weight limit

Pedal Bike

The moment it all comes together.

 

Belt-drive smooth, lightweight, and riding on the same frame they've trusted since day one. When the training wheels come off, metaphorically speaking, we don't use training wheels, your child already knows the bike. They know how it feels. They know how it turns.

 

That familiarity is everything.

Pedal Quad

Confidence without compromise.

 

Four wheels. Belt drive. A steering limiter that keeps things predictable on flat ground. The Pedal Quad is built for children who need a little more time, kids who are working up their courage, developing their coordination, or who simply thrive with extra stability underfoot.

 

The rear-only brake keeps control simple and intuitive.

HOW DOES 

Screenshot 2026-02-26 at 20.24.11.png

IT WORK?

Monkeycycle is built on intelligent geometry and precision components, one platform designed to evolve through childhood.

A reversible frame rotates 180° to increase seat height and prepare for pedaling. The transition takes minutes, using simple hex tools.

The pedal system integrates seamlessly.

Early stages convert quickly with a dedicated axle and sealed bearing system engineered for smooth, stable riding.

As your child progresses, a refined rear drive unit with integrated freewheel and disc braking delivers confident control.


Just one engineered platform, designed to grow, designed to last, and built to become an heirloom.

Designed by Michael Downes. Twenty five years of professional cycling engineering, distilled into a single frame.

Michael has designed for GIANT, Raleigh, Diamondback and more.

 

But Monkeycycle isn't a bike, it's a balance platform, that teaches more than just balance.

  • Built on Balance.

  • Balance is the foundation of movement.

  • It shapes coordination.
    Accelerates learning.
    Builds confidence.

  • Monkeycycle’s low center of gravity and progressive geometry help children develop control naturally, from first glide to confident pedaling.

  • Because riding isn’t just play.
    It’s development.
