First Look: Bumbinos Modular Strap-On Kids Bike Fenders Take The Ass Out Of Ass Savers

Bumbinos has introduced a new line of modular strap-on bike fenders designed specifically for children’s bikes, offering a kid-friendly alternative to the popular Ass Savers range. These fenders retain the simplicity and effectiveness of the adult Win Wing design but are scaled down to fit 14- to 20-inch wheels, catering to young riders aged roughly three to nine years old. The modular system allows the fenders to grow with the child, with interchangeable blades that can be swapped out as the bike size increases, ensuring long-term usability and convenience for parents. The creation of Bumbinos stemmed from a desire to provide practical mudguards without the potentially inappropriate branding associated with Ass Savers, making them more suitable for children. Beyond functionality, the brand aims to make cycling a more engaging and playful experience for kids, hoping to foster a lifelong passion for riding. Staffan Widell, co-founder of Ass Savers, emphasises the importance of play in encouraging regular use of bikes, which in turn helps children develop riding as a natural habit. In terms of design and performance, Bumbinos fenders offer substantial coverage despite their compact size, with two sizes available to suit different wheel diameters. The fenders are lightweight and share the modular mounting system of their adult counterparts, allowing for easy installation and adjustment. The set includes both front and rear mudguards, along with decorative sticker packs to personalise the bike, enhancing the appeal for young riders. Manufactured in Sweden using renewable energy and incorporating recycled plastics, Bumbinos maintains a commitment to sustainability consistent with the Ass Savers brand ethos. Priced at 35 euros for a full set, with replacement blades available for 19 euros, the fenders are accessible through the Bumbinos website and select bike shops globally. This launch represents a thoughtful extension of the Ass Savers product line, addressing the needs of younger cyclists while promoting environmentally conscious production.
