FAQs
Which Nova bike size should I choose for my child?
Choose the size that matches the child’s current height and ability. The 18-inch Nova fits riders approximately 42–50 inches tall, the 20-inch version fits 43–56 inches, and the 24-inch version fits 54–64 inches. Because the ranges overlap, also consider inseam, handlebar reach and riding confidence, using the kids bike size guide for additional guidance.
How is Nova’s belt drive different from a bike chain?
The belt drive replaces the traditional metal chain, providing clean, quiet operation without chain grease or routine lubrication. It also does not rust like a conventional chain, although the belt should still be kept clean and inspected for correct alignment and tension.
Is the Nova a lightweight kids bike?
Yes. Nova is designed as a lightweight children’s bicycle, using a brushed aluminum frame, aluminum components and a CNC-machined crankset to make handling easier for young riders. When comparing lightweight kids bikes or searching for the lightest 20 inch bike or lightest 24 inch bike, review the published weight and fit information for each size rather than relying on a superlative claim alone.
Does the Nova have gears?
No. Nova uses a simple one-speed drivetrain, allowing children to focus on steering, braking and pedaling without learning to shift gears. This setup works best on neighborhood streets, paved paths and relatively flat or gently rolling routes; families interested in other uncomplicated drivetrains can compare Glerc’s single speed bikes.
What brakes and accessories does the Nova include?
Nova has front and rear V-brakes with color-differentiated levers to help young riders identify the front and rear controls. Training wheels are not supported, and the kickstand is sold separately, so the bike is intended for children who can already balance independently. Families who still need a training wheels bike should choose a compatible model instead.
What type of riding is the Nova best for?
Nova is best suited to independent riders using neighborhood streets, park paths, school routes and other relatively smooth surfaces. Its lightweight frame, single-speed drivetrain and clean belt drive make it a practical everyday bike, but it is not designed for technical mountain-bike trails or large jumps. When comparing the best belt drive bikes, prioritize correct fit and intended terrain; other suitable kids bikes may offer gears or different tire and brake configurations.
I got this bike specifically to teach my daughter to ride a two wheeler after reading the reviews and I was not disappointed one bit. I got the gray with black wheels for her to match my bike. The bike looks Premium with a capital P. And it is super light weight. She loyally learned to ride the bike in a few hours. The next say I took her on the trails with me! 😂 I recommend this bike to anyone that has been searching for bikes at REI , Walmart or Amazon. Can't beat the price or the quality.
I was very impressed with the build quality of the bike for the price. Many of the parts on the bike are CNC machined aluminum instead of steel like many kids bikes which keeps weight down. Even the stem bolts were quality. I thought the design of the bike was well thought out with the belt drive instead of a chain which you usually find on higher end bikepacking bikes but it makes sense for a kids bike for simplicity and durability. It has bottle cage mounts, which I found out a 15oz. Podium bottle fits perfectly so I no longer have to carry my kid’s water on rides. You’re getting a lighter better made bike for the money compared to other well known bike brands. I’m a bit of a bike snob with my personal bikes so I was initially on the fence about what I was getting for the price point and was thoroughly impressed.
Great balance of comfort and safety. The seat is comfortable, the brakes respond perfectly, and the overall build feels very sturdy. My son rides it to school every day—no issues at all. Totally worth every penny.
Fantastic quality! The bike is super light, so my 11-year-old can easily handle it on his own. He says it rides “so smooth it feels like flying.” The assembly was quick and easy too.
We’ve had this bike for a few weeks now, and I’m amazed at how quiet it is. The belt drive is super clean—no grease, no maintenance, and still rides like new. Perfect for families who don’t want to deal with chain issues.
Great little bike! My son rides it every day. The belt drive is smooth and quiet, and everything feels well built. The grips could be a bit softer, but he doesn’t seem to mind.
For the price, this is an amazing kids’ bike. The build quality is way better than the big-box store bikes, and the belt drive means no maintenance headaches. My son rides it to school every day, rain or shine, and it still looks brand new.
The bike came mostly pre-assembled, which was great. I only needed to attach the handlebars, pedals, and front wheel. The quality feels solid, and the belt system is impressive. It’s nice not having to worry about rust or oil. I wish it came with a kickstand though—I had to buy one separately.
The bike has been really awesome for my kid so far fit and functionality.
Bike was super easy to put together. I did however, receive the bike with a nice half inch scratch in the paint. And I tried calling several times, but wasn’t getting through to anybody.
I bought the 16" and 20" in their previous aluminum stepover top-tube. Otherwise, these look the same. From the cranks to headsets to wheels and even quality Kenda tires, these have quality components you'd see on an solid adult bike (smaller brake levers, cranks, and pedals). The gear ratio makes climbing easy and top speeds safely limited. These are every bit as nice as a Woom or REI COOP bike but with the bonus of the clean belt drive. The other day I did an approx. 15mph 200-yard coast on my 26" beside my son on his 20" Glerc. He lost the "race" by about 8 feet, probably because he swerved a little. With chain tensioner included, these have required basically no maintenance. Be prepared for these bikes are the envy of the local playground. ZERO regrets, and I spent more for mine at the time.
After looking for a belt drive bike for my kiddo for a few months, I purchase the 18-in belt drive Nova. It has been an excellent choice. The parts and build are of great quality. My kiddo went from a balance bike straight to the 18-in and is ripping it up. I'm very happy with this purchase, and my kiddo is as well.
I got this bike for my son and it is such a good looking bike, Some time before X-Mas -I'm gonna leave my old beach cruiser by the dumpster for someone to grab so I can justify ordering a second one for myself.
The bike rides beautifully — smooth, quiet, and easy to control. The box was a little tight when unpacking, but everything inside was in perfect condition. My son absolutely loves it!
I love how thoughtful the design is — the geometry fits perfectly for kids, and the color looks classy in person. Everything feels durable and well-made.
Fantastic quality for the price. The paint finish, smooth belt system, and sturdy frame make it feel premium. My son rides confidently every day.
Setup was a breeze — took me about 20 minutes. The frame feels strong yet light, and the ride is whisper-quiet. My kid says it’s the “coolest” bike ever.
This bike looks amazing in person — the finish is elegant and modern. My daughter loves the design and says it rides super smooth. Very happy with this purchase!
Absolutely love the design! The silver frame looks sleek and premium, and the attention to detail is impressive. My daughter said it feels super smooth and easy to control. We get compliments every time she rides it to school.
We bought this bike for our daughter, and she absolutely loves it! The belt drive is super quiet and smooth, and there’s no messy chain grease on her pants anymore. It’s also very lightweight—she can lift it by herself when parking. The assembly was easy, took about 20 minutes. Highly recommend for parents who want a clean and low-maintenance kids’ bike!
The aluminum frame is incredibly lightweight, allowing my child to maneuver the bike effortlessly, resulting in a smooth and enjoyable ride.
The bike's lightweight aluminum frame makes it easy for my child to maneuver, allowing for a smooth and effortless ride.
These bikes feel like adult bikes in miniature. The 18" has shorter reach brake levers and a smaller platform pedal. The generic v brakes are better than cheap side pull calipers on Walmart bikes. The cranks and Gates belt drive are really nice for kids. Everything looks good on the frames. Chain tensioners are a nice bonus, as are the Kenda small block 8 tires. After considering Cleary, Guardian, and Decathlon, I'm happy with the value and the components prioritized on these bikes. Hoping GLERC can make a name in the US and will be around a while. I'll update if I have major issues, but these feel like bikes worth repairing and maintaining.
Featuring a grease-free Belt drive, this bike ensures smooth, rust-free rides with minimal maintenance.
The bike's sleek and modern design has made it a neighborhood favorite.
