Kidvelo Rookie 12 Balance Bike
The Kidvelo Rookie 12 is a lightweight balance bike that comes in at a reasonable price of £130, boasts a lifetime warranty and it is easy to adjust if you’ve got a couple of kids that are sharing the bike.
The upright riding position that the geometry provides allowed our test rider, it wasn’t Liam, to easily look ahead at all times. As we all know, that’s ideal for balance and, as a result, it’s great for confidence.
Another product that impressed us in the value department was the Mason X Hunt 650b Adventure Sport Disc Wheelset.
The 650b tubeless-ready rims boast a 25mm inner rim width that provides excellent support to wider tyres and we found it easy to set up tyres without fuss.
The build from Hunt is very nice and while the parts list won’t leave you drooling, it is a sensible selection of parts that will work for miles and then be easy to repair or replace if needed.
An eBike also made the grade this month in the form of Tern’s Quick Haul. This is the company’s attempt to bring cargo biking to the masses – well, more of the masses, anyway – with a bike that takes loads of the versatility of the GSD and HSD models and squeezes it into a better value package. And you know what? It’s broadly a success. There’s lots to like about the Quick Haul, and nearly all of the compromises are sensible ones.

I followed advice and cut off the drops. Much more convenient for commuting, lighter, takes up less space etc....
£5 of carbon? You can pay north of 12 quid and you don't even get wheels!
You never say anything to the people concerned then?
Lots of people do things that endanger people every day. If they didn't, life would be rather difficult, and the benefits are therefore generally...
Phew - didn't actually consider that at all! Thanks for the info and OFG for raising the issue.
I'd forgotten about it too so thanks for making me look! I also was annoyed that Discovery weren't covering it so glad there's an alternative.
It'd be a shame if the Raleigh name were to disappear. Let's hope the firm can be revived.
There is actually 'Anti theft mode' with Tiles which makes it invisible to anyone except you. It requires going through an identification process....
