The Ridgeback Dimension 14 is a lightweight and confidence-inspiring first pedal bike designed for children aged around 2½ to 4 years old. Built with young riders in mind, it combines an ultra-light aluminium frame with child-friendly components to help little cyclists enjoy their first pedalling adventures with ease.
A butted 6061 heat-treated aluminium frame and aluminium fork keep the bike exceptionally light, making it easier for children to handle and control as they develop their riding skills. The simple single-speed drivetrain removes complexity, allowing riders to focus on balance, steering and pedalling while building confidence.
The Dimension 14 is equipped with smooth-rolling 14-inch tyres featuring a flat-resistant belt for reliable everyday riding. Reach-adjustable brake levers are designed specifically for small hands, while a protective chain case keeps clothing clean and fingers safe. Practical additions such as reflectors and a bell help improve visibility and safety during early rides.
With adjustable components that grow with your child and a durable build designed for everyday use, the Ridgeback Dimension 14 makes learning to ride fun, safe and rewarding from the very first pedal stroke.

Information for Ridgeback kids bike range:
Easy-pedal cranks [All models except Scoot and ScootXL]– Ridgeback's pedal cranks are ergonomically correct, proportional to the child’s leg length. They also place the pedals closer to the bike’s centre so that children can pedal as smoothly and naturally as possible.
Smaller grips – Ridgeback's handlebars and grips are narrower diameter so they fit small hands better, for confidence and control as well as better ability to reach the brakes safely.
Lowered frames – Ridgeback's frames are lower where it counts, making it easier to get on and off and increasing clearance for greater confidence.
Steering limiter [All models except Scoot and Dimension 27.5] – To help prevent falls when learning to co-ordinate pedalling and cornering, the steering has a limit stop that helps avoid an over-steering situation.
Better brakes – Brake levers are closer to the bars and adjustable for reach to suit smaller hands, and work perfectly with our smaller diameter grips.
