Pre-Order Dates

We do not open pre-orders for a shipment until we have a good amount of confidence in the ship date.  That being said, the estimated delivery dates listed on our website are based on the best information that we have at the moment.  While we cannot control every variable, we pledge to be honest and transparent about lead times.

- The ship dates that are on the website represent our honest estimate of the date that the bikes will ship on.

- Where information is imprecise (for example, referencing a month or quarter), it is because there are unpredictable factors that make it so we cannot credibly be more precise.

- We will work tirelessly to keep the bikes on schedule. It's part of our company culture to be very involved in our supply chain and to be proactive about addressing issues that could turn into delays.

- If something happens that changes the ship date we will communicate quickly and clearly about the delay.

- You can cancel your pre-order any time before your bike ships.


Pre-date changes

Your pre-order date will be included in your order confirmation. If we learn something that changes that date, we will contact you. You might see the pre-order date change on the website. There are a variety of things that could cause a change in the pre-order date including shipping delays, back logs, or moving through different batches. Just because the date on the website changes, does not mean that the date of a pre-order already placed has changed.  Again, if you place a pre-order and the estimated delivery date changes, we will inform you.


Pre-order payment policy

Your credit card will be charged immediately when you place your pre-order.  Your pre-order is cancelable and fully refundable. If you need to cancel a pre-order contact us and we'll take care of it!

The Most Advanced 20" All-purpose Bike

Packed with mega smart features

Prevelo Bikes-Alpha Three-Speed Silver

Internal Cable Routing

Brake and shifter cables are internally routed through the frame where they are safe and protected from getting hung up on branches, terrain, small fingers, and car bike racks.

Hill Conquering Gear Range

The Microshift Acolyte Super Short Derailleur allows the Alpha Series bikes to use an 11-38t cassette. This gives 90% more gear range than other comparable bikes. 

Kid Friendly Shifting

Microshift is the only drivetrain maker to focus on kids sized shifters. Easy-to-reach triggers and ultra-light shifting action make this the #1 shifter for kids. 

Kid Sized Control Center

Short stems, handlebars sized to match shoulder width, easy-to-reach brakes, and a kid-friendly shifter. All features that give the rider control of their steed. 

HEIR Kid Optimized Crank

HEIR cranks use specific lengths and widths to match young riders pedaling ergonomics. The Dual Alloy Chainguards keep the chain on in all terrain, while protecting the rider's pants from getting caught.

Confidence Inspiring Geometry

Low standover allowing young riders to get on a bigger wheel earlier. Bigger wheels roll faster, offer more traction, and roll over obstacles with less effort. Upright seating position with just enough weight over the front of the bike to maintain control and balance. A low center of gravity that's designed to keep the riders weight "in" the bike, rather than on top. Short chainstays keep the bike agile, while a slack front end keeps things stable at all speeds. 

The next step.

What the Press Says about the Alpha Three

The Alpha Series from Prevelo are neighborhood bikes that punch above their intended use. The geometry lends itself to ripping up trails as much as it does flying around the cul-de-sac. Everything is spot on from the tires, to the brakes to the handlebars.

The Bike Dads

For parents interested in introducing gears at an early age, and for kids who have already mastered pedaling and bike handling, the Prevelo Alpha Three is the ideal 20 inch bike.

Rascal Rides

Exceptional - 5 Stars

Exceptional from frame to wheels, brakes to handlebars, the Prevelo Alpha Three is the ultimate ride for young, adventurous riders.

Two Wheeling Tots

Thank the gods, my 7-year-old got her new Alpha Three right out of the box (which came with her name already emblazoned on the shiny steed and took me about ten minutes to assemble), and immediately overcame whatever was previously holding her back. The combination of lighter weight, more optimal kid geometry, and a freewheel hub seemed to do the trick, and alleviate my previous feelings of failing as a father.

Elevations Outdoors

9/10

Excellent specification with size-specific parts and geometry that make it a confident bike to ride for younger riders.

Prevelo Bikes-Alpha Three-Speed Silver

Alpha Three

$599.00
  1. Prevelo confidence inspiring low and narrow geometry. Prevelo geometry keeps the rider low, balanced and in control.
  2. Lightweight 6061 aluminum frame with custom formed tubing.
  3. Lightweight aluminum alloy fork with alloy steerer.
  4. Front and rear v-brakes.
  5. Lightweight Allen head front and rear wheel skewers for secure wheel installation.
  6. Three piece crank with squared taper cartridge bearing bottom bracket and ultra narrow Q factor.
  7. Custom made cranks. All Prevelo cranks are sized specifically for each model bike, down to the millimeter.
  8. NEW Microshift 8-speed drivetrain with wide-span 11-38T gearing. Uses a shorter pulley cage without comprising gear ratio width. Because kids’ bikes have small wheel diameters, rear derailleurs on kids bikes hang low and close to the ground. The Prevelo Alpha bikes use smaller cage derailleurs to keep things high and away from the ground.
  9. Microshift Trigger Shifters. Small hands have a hard time using twist shifters. We use reliable silky smooth thumb shifters. They are easy for small hands to operate, and operate just like shifters on high performance bikes.
  10. 95% assembled. Just install the handlebar, seatpost, front wheel and pedals.
