Safety is further reinforced with Tektro Auriga braking systems at both the front and rear, featuring 160 mm (6.3 inches) single discs for reliable stopping power. The electric starter ensures a hassle-free ignition, while the adjustable seat height of 520 mm (20.5 inches) allows for customization as your child grows.
