The 20 - inch knobby tires provide excellent grip on loose or muddy ground, and the v - brakes with kids - specific hand levers ensure great control at all times. The soft TPR grips and comfortable padded saddle keep kids comfy and encourage longer rides. Plus, the seatpost has a quick - release clamp for easy height adjustments on the go.

Using the Pedal Zap 20 - inch kids' mountain bike is easy. Just adjust the seat height to a comfortable position for your child using the quick - release clamp on the seatpost.
