19.2 Notes on BMX bikes

BMX bikes are designed to be used purely as

sports equipment and therefore, due to their

geometry and transmission, only suitable to

a limited extend to be used as kids’ bikes.

However, they are sometimes used as kids’

bikes due to the small frame, the popularity

of the BMX bicycling as a sport and the chil-

dren’s urging.

19. Kids‘ bikes

If you intend to use your BMX bikes

for riding on public roads, it must be

fitted according to the regulations of the

respective country. If in doubt, ask your

MERIDA dealer.

For more information see the instruc-

tions given in chapter 18. “Dirt bikes

– special features”

19.3 Adjustment of kids‘ bikes

Adjusting the bike to the bodily proportions

of a child is even more important than in the

case of an adult. In determining the height of

the saddle you will need to ﬁnd a compromise

that allows the child to reach the ground with

both feet when sitting on the saddle while at

the same time giving him/her enough space

for pedalling.

Set the saddle to a height where the child can

fully extend his/her leg when he/she rests

his/he heel on the pedal at the lowest point.

As a second test, make sure the child’s knee

is slightly bent when the ball of the foot rests

on the pedal in this position.
