The Size 16 Bicycle is a "big kid" transitional bike, typically suited for children aged 4 to 6 years (approx. 40–48 inches tall). While often called a "teenager" style bike due to its aggressive BMX or Mountain Bike aesthetics, it is technically the final step before moving into the 20-inch youth category.
