Prevelo crank lengths are custom sized for each size bike to make sure little riders have optimum pedal ergonomics. And they have ultra-narrow Q-factors to match the narrow hips of young cyclists. If that sounds like technical mumbo jumbo, here's the point - Prevelo cranks will help make small riders more comfortable and efficient on their bike.
Kids are going to put their bikes through the ringer, so Prevelo bikes are built kid tough with robust BOXT rear chainstays and seat stays, and BMX track style forged dropouts that completely shroud the rear axle bolts.
The Alpha Two features Prevelo's signature confidence inspiring geometry. Prevelo geometry utilizes a low bottom bracket that lowers the center of gravity of the bike and rider, making for a more agile and confident ride.
The hubs are equipped with rounded axle bolts that minimize hard edges. And because kids are going to run their bikes through muck, the hubs have rubber seals to keep out dirt and grime.
This is where little riders command their steed. It's decked out with ultra small diameter grips and short reach brake levers that are optimized for small hands.
A low minimum seat height and dropped top tube help accomodate the smallest riders.

We are loving our Alpha Two! We picked up a used Alpha Zero earlier this summer and now that our almost three year old has mastered that we needed to size up and get in a bike with pedals. She is a tall gal for almost three so we skipped over the Alpha one and onto the two. As for the bike after seeing the quality of the Alpha Zero there wasn’t a lot of questions for what brand we wanted to go with for our next size up bike. The Alpha two will be in our family for a few years and be ridden by both our kids. It’s nice to know there are really bike parts on this bike that can be replaced if needed. 100% recommend Prevelo bikes!
Excellent experience, fast shipping, great packaging and my son loves his new bike. Mom and Dad are happy with the high quality and fit. His riding confidence immediately increased with this bike after transition from the big box store bike he was riding prior.
We have been on a cadence of buying a new bike each year and we have finally found the bike that fits our son the best! His friend even prefers to ride our Prevelo bike. My son is entered into his first Crit race in two weeks and he looks forward to using his new bike!
We love our Alpha Two. Not only is it a beautiful looking bike but a really practical bike for the beginning rider. I love that Prevelo puts hand brakes on these bikes because it gets the young rider prepared for the next level. You can tell that the Prevelo team has really thought about every detail and how they would benefit the rider. We are very pleased indeed.
Excellent customer service and excellent product. Its a pricey bike for a kid, but the quality and beauty are worth the investment as I expect my son to ride his Alpha Two for the next 2yrs or more. From what I see the resale market for these bikes is also strong so if you are on the fence make sure to factor that in.
