Easy now, it's not a sign of the Apocalypse, and it's not that we've given up on the youth, it's merely another option, albeit an expensive, controversial option to get kids outside and on two wheels. Haibike's Sduro HardFour 4.0, along with its odd name, is an e-bike with 24in wheels and a top speed of 12mph with aspirations of allowing little riders to do bigger rides and keep up with mom and dad.

A new option for kids

There's a bit of a movement towards higher performance kids' bikes within the cycling world. Big brands such as Specialized, Kona, and Commencal have embraced scaled down bikes, and even kid-only bike companies are now a thing, with Lil Shredder, Cleary, and others delivering mini bikes with big-time capability. 

German company Haibike makes all kinds of e-bikes, from commuter bikes with panniers to full-on downhill sleds with 200mm travel. For 2017, they're introducing a kid's bike with 24in wheels to their formidable electric range. 

Haibike Sduro HardFour 4.0 pricing and availability

Available now with pricing at £1,988, US$2,599, Australian pricing TBD.
