Kids' bikes with hub gears - do such things exist?
rower40:
Miss mini-rower40 snr has now outgrown her single-speed starter bike, and needs something with 20" wheels. I'm concerned by the exposedness of the chain of all such derailleur-fitted bikes, the faff of not being able to change gear when stationary, and how close the jockey wheels are to the ground. Is there something I can get for her, off-the-peg/shelf with either a Sturmey-Archer or Shimano Nexus hub gear?
orienteer:
1960s Moulton Minis come up on ebay quite often.

Commonplace in Germany and possibly the Netherlands. Puky has hub-geared kids bikes, no doubt there are other manufacturers.
rogerzilla:
I bought a singlespeed kids' bike and fitted a SA hub to it.

My son had a Puky when he was a small person. Hub gears, mudguards, rack and dynamo lights.
Far too sensible for the British market.
