As the weather turns wetter, muddier and colder, often the sentiment felt is that riding season is winding down. We think the opposite. Conditions changing is not a reason to pause, it’s where real progression happens.
So don't assume that mud means stop: pack the bike away, wait for spring, pick up where you left off. October isn't a pause button, it's where the real learning happens: reading a trail that's got a bit trickier, finding grip when the ground has less, staying steady when nothing else is.
Where others fear to tread.
Our Seeker range is designed to help young riders explore new trails and take on off-road adventures with confidence. With wider tyres and greater traction the Seeker will unlock progression in the wetter conditions with ease.
We design bikes for any condition.
The range includes a variety of features like single-speed drivetrains, Shimano CUES 1x9 gearing, hydraulic disc brakes, and durable, high-traction tires - ensuring smooth, efficient rides across a variety of changing terrains.
When the trail changes, Seekers go find out how.
Whether it’s the smaller 14" or 16" bikes for getting started, or the 20" and 24" models for more advanced riders, this collection provides the perfect balance of comfort, control, and performance. All year round.
Built to seek it out. Not wait it out.
Every rider gets there in their own time, but the tools that unlock confidence & control in the wet are the same tools that keep them progressing when the weather isn’t. Watch them ride through it once and you'll see it: the season changed. Nothing else did.

The questions parents actually ask.
Which Seeker size is right for my child?
Choose a Seeker by inside leg, not by age. The Seeker 14 fits from a 38cm inside leg, the Seeker16 from 41cm, the Seeker 20 from 51cm and the Seeker 24 from 60cm. Age ranges are a guide only: 3 to 5, 4 to 6, 6 to 8 and 8 to 11 respectively. Measure barefoot, from floor to crotch.
How do I measure my child's inside leg for a Seeker?
Stand your child barefoot against a wall with their feet slightly apart. Place a book between their legs, spine up, and slide it firmly to the crotch. Measure from the top edge of the book to the floor. That figure is the inside leg and it decides which Belter fits today, not which one they will grow into.
What pressure should I run my tires at?
Lower pressure means more traction, but it's about finding the right balance versus the terrain and preventing you going too slow. Never put more pressure than what the recommended pressure is printed on the side of the tire. However, you don't want to go too low. A solid standard on both the 20" and 24" models 20PSI is about right. But if it's really wet, muddy conditions then you might benefit from dropping the pressure a little. Vice versa if you're riding on solid hard pack or the road. A bit more pressure may better and faster.
Why does the Seeker use bolt thru axles rather than quick release?
We chose to use bolt thru axles rather than traditional quick-release axles because they provide a stiffer and more secure connection between the wheels and the frame. This helps improve handling, particularly when cornering or riding over rough terrain, while also keeping the wheels more accurately aligned.
How much assembly does a Seeker need when it arrives?
A Seeker arrives pretty much assembled. Every bike goes through a Pre Delivery Inspection before it ships, so the build is checked by hand first. At home you fit the pedals, watching the L and R markings, set the saddle height and check the brakes, which can shift slightly in transit. Tools and instructions are in the box.
What maintenance is required on a chain driven drivetrain?
It's all based on how often and clean you keep your Early Rider. Its recommended to keep it clean, lubricate and to do an annual check on the chain, gears and other drivetrain components to ensure they continue to run smooth and efficiently.
What are the delivery, returns and warranty terms for a Seeker?
Early Rider offers 30 day returns on every Seeker. In stock bikes are dispatched the next working day via our carrier and in most cases arrive within 2-4 working days. Every Seeker carries a two year warranty including the frame, drivechain, etc. Wear components are excluded but always investigated.
