Origin
Mondraker launched a dedicated kids range to extend its Forward Geometry philosophy to younger riders. The Play bikes scale down the brand's adult MTB geometry and technology — including electric variants with a Mahle hub motor and 250 Wh battery — so that children learn trail riding on properly-proportioned bikes rather than scaled-up adult geometry that forces bad habits.

The verdict
+Strengths
- Forward Geometry applied at kids scale gives genuine trail confidence rather than generic small-bike handling

- Electric option with Mahle motor allows kids to keep up with adult group rides
−Weaknesses
