Where can I find accessories and which ones work with my bike?Updated a day ago

Searching for accessories? Look no further!

Check out our accessories page for the full lineup: Accessories and Spare Pars


We offer a variety of accessories including:

  • Bells - ding, ding! not only do they make riding more fun, but also safer!
  • Helmets- For help choosing a size, click here.  
  • Streamers: There is a small plug inside the grips. You will need to remove the grips and take out the plug before inserting the streamers. You can also drill into the grips to create a larger hole for the streamers. 
  • Water bottles and water bottle holders
  • High rise handlebars
  • Training cones


Saddles

Looking for a wider or softer saddle? The saddles on our 20", 24", and 26" bikes can easily be swapped out with any saddle that attaches with dual rails. Here is a compatible wider saddle that we like. For help with installing a new saddle click here. 

For our smaller bikes, this one on Amazon fits nicely. Our bike saddle measures 9.5" long and almost 5".


High-rise handlebar

Though we suggest keeping the original, lower handlebars on as long as possible because it makes controlling the bike easier, we do offer a high rise bar that you can add as your kid grows. 

The handlebars on the bikes have 1.5 inch rise (height of the handlebar). We offer a 4.5 inch rise handlebar for 20" and 24" bikes that you can purchase here. 

Here is the video showing how the handlebars can be swapped on a single speed or a video on a geared bike.


Rear rack

Most manufacturers do not make racks specifically for kids bikes, so you would need to order a universal rack. Here is an example of one on Amazon that works with our 20 inch large, 24 inch, and 26 inch bikes: Rack. 

Note that it will stick out a bit past the rear wheel. 


Fenders

Most fenders will not fit on our bikes. This is because all of our bikes come with "mini brakes". By using mini brakes, we can use a brake lever that is easier for your child to reach. 

However, here is a fender from Amazon we have tested that fits on our 20, 24, and 26 inch bikes: Fender.


Car racks

We found this bike rack that should fit up to two 24" or 26" Guardian Bikes quite nicely. It's fairly priced, has awesome reviews, and should do the trick! Please note, however, if your car has a spoiler or fairing it may not work. This brand Allen has a ton of other options that can fit more bikes or can fit cars with spoilers. 


We also like the brand Thule. On their website, you can put in the year & make of your car and it will show all the bike racks that fit your specific model (pretty cool, huh?!). Also, check this out for more recommendations.

For three or more bikes, we recommend Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Bike Hitch Rack : Sports & Outdoors.


Baskets

We don't sell baskets, but most kid-size baskets that attach to the handlebars will fit. When shopping, look for one made for a 22 mm (7/8 inch) handlebar, which is the size on all of our bikes.


Baby seats for adult bikes

For our adult bikes, the baby seat we recommend is the Burley Dash FM, which we’ve tested for fit on our large adult bikes and found to be compatible. Burley is a highly regarded brand, but please note that our testing was for fit only, not safety, so we’re not able to assume liability for its use. We recommend following all manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper installation and safe use.
