First-time riders aged 3 to 6, about 95 to 117 cm tall, who want training wheels and simple braking.
Neo calls the 16 inch its most popular size, and the Gen 3 frame makes it a friendly place to start. A lowered bottom bracket and a curved top tube give a low standover height and a lower centre of gravity, which helps a young rider feel steady while learning.
Braking is a coaster (back-pedal) rear brake plus an alloy caliper pull front brake with a short reach lever. A low-profile full-cover chainguard covers the chain and chainring, and the lightweight training wheels adjust and come off without tools when your child is ready to go without them. This one is Chrome Red.

Great for
Maybe not for
Neo recommends the 16 inch for ages 3 to 6 and heights of 95 to 117 cm, and suggests a test ride and proper bike fit to check the size. The alloy quill stem and quick release seatpost clamp make height adjustments easy as your child grows.
Teach the back-pedal stop
A coaster brake works by pushing the pedals backwards, so show your child how to stop that way and how to squeeze the front lever too. Keep the training wheels adjusted to suit your child's balance, and raise them a little at a time as they improve.
