What Problem Does It Solve?
Children grow fast, and a standard kids' bike is often outgrown in a year or two, while Hong Kong homes have little room to store the old one. The Sooibe 009 16" covers a 110-175 cm height range with a height-adjustable, scale-marked seat post, and folds to just 65 x 33 x 57 cm. Six Shimano gears and mountain tyres let your child pick the right gear on flat roads, gravel and hills.
The 009 is Sooibe's mixed-age kids' mountain folding bike range. Outdoor travel, family-ride companionship, easy to switch; Sooibe says adults, children and the whole family can use it.
- 6-speed gears: Shimano 6-speed drivetrain for flat roads, mud roads and mountain roads.
- 3-step folding: easy storage without occupying space.
Who Is It For?
Sooibe recommends the 009 16" for riders 110-175 cm tall. For age, Sooibe's website lists the 009 range (16 and 20 inch) as 4-16 years, while the 16-inch spec sheet says 4-13 years, so height is the more reliable guide. If your child is under 110 cm, compare the 14-inch Sooibe 007 Pro 14" Super Light Kids Folding Bike (Sooibe recommends 105-175 cm; 7.9 kg factory weight).
Adjustable mixed-age design
The seat post is marked with a scale and held by a quick-release clamp, so the saddle can be set to your child's height and the bike used for longer; the head tube is a toothless inward-folding, two-section aluminium design.
Details
The multi-function quick-release folding buckle adjusts its tightness with a small knob; the grips are anti-slip; the front and rear hubs are aluminium with bearings. The frame has mounting holes for a bottle cage, and the sports saddle can slide forwards and backwards.
