With the Bestrider Pump Pro 20 fully assembled, I can compare it with the Bestrider Pump Pro 16. This is the smaller version of the kids bike that I previously assembled. Now that my kid has outgrown the 16 inch bike, it is time to start the transition over to the 20 inch version.
Since I have both bikes around, it is a good chance to do a side by side comparison to see the differences.
Both use Tektro short reach brake levers, but the 16 inch version has a shorter lever.
Another view of the brake levers. I like that the lever length is proportionate to the handlebar width and hand size of the rider.
The brake lever bracket seems to be the same, just with a different lever length.
The 16 inch bike has a unique 3 speed internal hub drivetrain, and a Revoshifter.
Bright red versus rich blue frame colours!
16 inch 305 wheel, versus 20 inch 406 wheel.
Front view of the bikes. Both use V brake systems.
Big difference in handlebar height!
Frame shape and design is similar, just with a different size and standover height.
Both are using the excellent SDG Fly Junior saddles, with the not-quite matching blue and red colours.
With the bottom brackets aligned as the datum, can see that the front-centre length of the 20 inch bike is much longer.
Chain stay length of the 20 inch bike is also longer, at 330 mm vs 273 mm.
Comparing the drivetrains. 3 speed internal hub vs 10 speed cassette.
Head to head comparison. Big brother and little brother!
Both have tires that are relatively smooth, but wide to ensure it doesn't fall into small cracks in the ground. 20 inch tire is 40 mm wide, while the 16 inch tire is 36 mm wide.
I have since sold the Bestrider Pump Pro 16 kids bike, since it is no longer needed. I managed to get a good price for the bike, since it has a unique set up, with a one-of-a-kind 3 speed drivetrain for a 16 inch kids bike.
The 1x10 speed drivetrain on the Bestrider Pump Pro 20 is easily replicable, since the components are easy to install, unlike the 3 speed internal hub which required some technical knowledge.
