They won't be getting fat with a pair of creepy crawlers, they roll about as fast as bricks ๐Ÿ˜† Very cool though. Bottle mounts on the forks!

My lad wanted one but is too small. Hes getting his sisters hand me down isla beinn 20 as shes getting a frog 62. The kids fat bike we saw weighed a ton tho. Too heavy to be safe or fun imho anyway

had a look at these. Everything thats not desirable in a kids bike - heavy, big rolling mass, cumbersome. Its 25lbs, so about 8lbs heavier than an Islabikes Beinn 20 !

Weird, as I rate Genesis, ride a CDF 14 and am close to going for a new CDF 30. I think they have missed some market research here......unless they reckon fat bikers want their kids to be fat bikers too ๐Ÿ™‚

I think that'd have been great for me as a kid tbh, we were all about the riding slowly over stuff while making motorbike noises and generally junior kickstarting the **** out.
