The Specialized Hotwalk Carbon arrives to captivate all audiences

Specialized has just presented the Hotwalk Carbon, a pedal-less bike for children made entirely of carbon (frame, fork, and wheels) that weighs only 2.1 kg, costs €999, and appeals to both young and old.

Both we and the brand itself are aware that the Hotwalk Carbon is somewhat excessive for children under 3 years old. But Specialized set out to build a high-end pedal-less bike, and now anyone can buy it.

If we look at the specifications, the Specialized Hotwalk Carbon is made from the brand's own FACT 9r carbon and has 12-inch carbon wheels with Rhythm Lite tires for riding on any surface.

The recommended use of this bike is for children aged 18 months to 4 years who are up to 88 cm tall and weigh less than 18.1 kg.

To realize that this is not a minor project, the Hotwalk Carbon has been designed by the same team behind bikes like the Tarmac SL7 and the Stumpjumper 2021.

This authentic work of art is already available for anyone who wants their little ones to have their first carbon bike.
