In this review we’ll cover 5 things we love about the Guardian Ethos 14” bike.

1. SURESTOP BRAKING SYSTEM
2. NO COASTER BRAKE
3. KID-FRIENDLY BIKE GEOMETRY
4. SIZED FOR THE LITTLEST OF PEDAL BIKE RIDERS
5. EXTRAS (TURNING LIMITER & KICKSTAND)

1. SURESTOP BRAKING SYSTEM
The SureStop braking system is featured on every Guardian bike. There is one brake lever on the right hand that activates both the rear and the front brake. Yep, the stopping power of two brakes, by just pulling one lever!
A. FASTER. By pulling the one lever and activating both brakes, Guardian Bikes can stop faster.
B. SAFER. The SureStop system promotes safer braking. As kids get older, heavier, and ride faster, braking with the left hand (front brake) only can lock up the front wheel and flip a child (or any rider!) over the handlebars.
C. SIMPLER. The SureStop system is simple. When trying to teach proper braking technique to a toddler or preschooler, “Only brake with your right hand!” is an extremely difficult concept.
Because the SureStop system has only one brake lever, there’s only one option for their little brains to focus on.

2. NO COASTER BRAKE
While many 12″ and 14″ bikes come standard with a coaster (back pedal) brake, the Guardian does NOT have a coaster brake.Why are coaster brakes such a problem? Because being able to pedal backwards is really helpful. When kids are learning to pedal for the first time, they tend to pedal backwards a lot. So if they’ve just gotten started, have gained a little momentum, and then decide to back pedal… a coaster brake will stop them in their tracks.

3. KID-FRIENDLY BIKE GEOMETRY
The Ethos’ mid-rise handlebars and reach place a child in a comfortable, upright position. This helps them to feel natural and relaxed as they’re learning to ride.

4. SIZED FOR THE LITTLEST OF BALANCE BIKE RIDERS
With a seat height range of 15.5″ – 19.25″, the Guardian 14″ is one of the smallest pedal bikes on the market, but also has more room for growth than most.

5. EXTRAS - TURNING LIMITER & KICKSTAND
The Guardian 14’s turning limiter is easily removable so you can use it if you want to, or just take it off if you don’t!
It’s also pretty mild, so it really won’t restrict steering much at all. But it will prevent the brake cables from being stretched as a result of rotating the handlebars the wrong way, as well as prevent kids from getting confused because their handlebars are backwards!
And what about the kickstand? It’s incredibly sturdy and places the bike at just the right angle so that it won’t easily fall over.

BOTTOM LINE
With a simplified braking system and incredibly kid-friendly geometry, the Guardian Ethos 14″ was a hit with our toddler testers and us moms. Its budget-friendly price tag seriously can’t be beat – it’s incredible what they’re offering at this price tag!
