Meet The Lite

Proving wooden bikes can be innovative, they can be durable and they can easily ignite a life long passion for bikes. Crafted from marine-grade Super Ply, The Lite is resistant to rot, warping, and decay. Its two-step steering system aids safe skill progression while heat-branded detailing, vegan leather seats, and hardened brass bolts ensure durability. Lightweight aluminium rims and wide tires provide stability and comfort for 2-4-year-olds. The Lite is sustainably designed to inspire, endure and draw just a bit of awe.

Not all wooden bikes are built the same

Marine grade Super Ply, the stuff they use on boats, docks and garden furniture designed to spend a lifetime outside. Also the stuff we choose to build our wooden bikes because bikes this good should be enjoyed by more than one kid.

It’s a brilliantly versatile material, resistant to warping and shrinkage, it’s rot resistant, doesn’t decay and due to a solid core, doesn’t hide any internal voids that could risk structural integrity further down the line.

On the surface, it’s a simple wooden bike, but to us, it’s so much more.

Weather proof, boil proof

Look, we don’t advocate for boiling your bike, ever, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t built our bikes to withstand every eventuality. We use WBP glue to bond our bikes. It stands for Weather and Boil Proof and it helps keep water out, no matter the temperature. This is especially important in wet, humid climates where water vapour can turn the sturdiest wood into pulp in a matter of months.

It’s also resistant to fungus and mould growth, further increasing the lifespan of our wooden bikes. Because life happens, bikes (occasionally) get left outside. That shouldn’t mean the end of them.

Useful, beautiful, durable details

Everything, and we mean absolutely everything is designed to endure on the Lite. There isn’t a feature, enhancement or design detail that doesn’t serve a purpose

The Lite’s flame detail is heat branded because stickers peel off. And we embroider the vegan leather seat detail because print gets flaky and faded over the time. And we use hardened brass, with its lovely deep rusty colour because it’s that little bit more long wearing that regular brass.

Useful, beautiful, durable. That’s our motto and we’re sticking to it.
