"Three years ago, the brand's founders, Danil and Gulya, relocated to California with the goal of starting a new kids specific bike brand with bikes that are light weight and well built. How light? The Biky team claims that the Air 20 is currently the lightest 20-inch kids' bike in the world. On our scale, the Air 20 checks in at 14.18lb fully built with pedals."
"Potential Biky buyers will likely compare these bikes directly to those from Woom, but there's one thing that Biky offers here that Woom doesn't - a single speed drivetrain with 20″ wheels. That single speed drivetrain is part of the reason for the low weight of the Air 20, but it's also something that many parents may be looking for."
Biky originated in Eastern Europe over a decade ago and the founders moved to California three years ago to launch a kids-specific bike brand focused on lightweight, well-built bicycles. The Air 20 weighs 14.18 lb fully built with pedals and is claimed to be the lightest 20-inch production kids' bike measured by the reviewer. The Air 20 uses a single-speed drivetrain that reduces weight, increases durability for neighborhood riding, and lowers cost compared with geared competitors. Biky engineered a narrow q-factor by shrinking the bottom bracket shell to 47mm and using custom hubs with 86mm rear spacing.
