Background behind the Development of the LEVENA
Children love riding bicycles, but they are a little heavy for them.
Removing bicycles from parking spaces and riding up even gentle slopes is hard work for them. The development of the LEVENA was therefore initiated under the concept of an unprecedented lightweight kids' bike. It has been designed in a cool, sporty style so that they can go cycling with their dads, who are sure to love sports bikes. The design also placed the emphasis on a lightweight body, which weighs a mere 7.9kg, and this resulted in the LEVANA lightweight sports bike for children.
LEVENAFeatures of the LEVENA
1.7.9kg lightweight sports bike
We used lightweight parts, including an aluminum frame and front forks and open-side tires, to achieve a weight of 7.9kg, which represents a reduction of approximately 4kg in comparison with our other representative children's bicycles. This enables the bike to be taken out of parking spaces and carried inside the house without excessive trouble. A child of five years old (with a body weight of 20kg) riding a 12kg bicycle (the average weight of our children's bicycles,) for example, is as difficult as an adult (with a body weight of 60kg) riding a 36kg bicycle (normal light bicycles weigh approximately 20kg.) The LEVENA weighs only 7.9kg to allow children to enjoy carefree and comfortable cycling.
2. Sporty design
We carefully selected lightweight parts that are used in the manufacture of sports bikes to encourage children to go cycling with their dads, who tend to ride sports bikes.
Utilizes a stylish, lightweight "seat tube-less aluminum frame".
Shortening the seat tube with the use of a seat tube-less frame has enabled us to give the bike an impressive outer appearance while making it lighter.
"Special sporty lightweight wheels and tires"
"The aluminum double-wall rims" provide an attractive design and are light, and they are fitted with lightweight "open-side tires".
Uses "a sports-type saddle"
The lightweight saddle has a sharp design and does not interfere with peddling.
The red stripe on the saddle produces a sporty aura.
Uses "an Ahead Stem"
Use of the Ahead Stem, which is popular on sports bikes, provides a rigid height and makes the bike lighter. A special stem cover is also fitted to the top of stem to prevent injury.
