Description

It's time to plant the Seed. Give it a few years of food, water and nourishment and you will have a BMX shredder on your hands with the help of one of these little rippers from the legends over at Wethepeople! Packed full of the Wethepeople epicness we have come to know and love, these bikes are sure to bring on the good times! Kids these days are getting better and better, with bigger and bigger tricks, so bike companies like Wethepeople have decided to up their game with these smaller bikes, decking them out with strong parts and scaled down geometry to nourish these budding young shredders! Salt Rookie Tubular Chromoly Three Piece Cranks offer loads of support and strength through the midsection of the bike and the inclusion of an adjustable Wethepeople Seed Pivotal Seat and Salt Junior Top Load Stem makes this little package so much better!

A carefully designed and well spec’d 16” bike, designed to take you as far as you’re willing to push it.

Designed to make those first years in the sport as fun as they can possibly be, the Seed is a scaled down mini machine which has been lightened to make it as easy as possible for a younger rider to reach their goals. Packed full of the latest components from SALT like the Junior 40mm reach stem, and Tracer tires and two fantastic colour schemes to round off what is without a doubt the best 16” complete bike WTP have ever produced.

About the Brand

Wethepeople BMX began making its mark on history almost 15 years ago. Designing the first rough drawings of their frames and forks around the same time as the world started to see BMX in a different light, a time when rails were first grinded and the possibility that riding the streets was in fact the true way forward. To achieve their aims, Wethepeople knows exactly how to deploy their strengths with an efficiency that is unmatched in the BMX industry.

Features

  • A scaled down mini machine. Designed to make the first years in the sport as fun as possible, and lightened to 9.46 kg so a young rider can reach their goals.
  • Salt Rookie tubular chromoly cranks. 127mm 3-piece Cr-Mo cranks on a sealed Salt Spanish bottom bracket bring strength and support through the middle of the bike.
  • Cockpit sized for small riders. Salt Junior 40mm reach top load stem, 23.6" wide Seed bars with 6.77" rise and flangeless Wethepeople Arrow 130 grips.
  • Adjustable Seed Pivotal seat. The Wethepeople Seed Pivotal seat adjusts as the rider grows, on a Salt AM alloy post with a forged Eclat Pure clamp.
  • Cassette hub and gyro-ready frame. Salt Seed cassette hub with a 10T driver and 14mm hollow axle, Salt Tracer 2.2" tyres, a Hammercoil rear U-brake and holes for removable gyro tabs.

Assembly information

Your bike ships mostly assembled in the box. Finishing it takes most people 10 to 20 minutes with basic tools, and the video above walks through every step.

  • Fit the handlebars and line them up with the front wheel
  • Fit the front wheel, pedals and seat post
  • Check the brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride

Tools: Allen key set and a 15mm, 17mm or 19mm spanner for the pedals and axle nuts (bikes can vary between these three sizes). A socket is needed if installing pegs.

Rather have it done? Ask us about extra assembly before you order, or any local bike shop can finish the build for a small fee.

16 inch BMX sizing

A 16 inch bike suits a rider of about 96 to 122cm, usually 4 to 7 years old, on a 16 to 16.5 inch top tube. It is the size most kids learn to ride properly on.

160cm and up24"21.75 to 22"
160cm and up26"22 to 23"

Sizes overlap on purpose, so personal preference comes into it. At this wheel size the top tube barely changes the fit: go by height, and check they can stand over the bike flat footed.

How to measure

Stand your rider against a wall in the shoes they ride in, heels flat, and mark the top of their head. Measure from the floor to the mark.

  • Between two wheel sizes? Go up. Kids grow into a bike far faster than they grow out of the fun.
  • They should be able to stand over the top tube with both feet flat on the ground.

Not sure? Send us their height and we will tell you what we would put them on.
