The perfect bike is just around the corner, when you're choosing a new bike for your child, wheel size is important. You can go from 12" wheel kids bikes to 16" wheel kids bikes, although it's key to check their leg measurements first. Soon enough, you'll have a fantastic new quality bike for your child!

Skylark 12” Wheel

The Skylark 12” is made for kids who’ve started riding their bikes already and have taken to it like a pro! This bike comes without stabilisers, coming in 2 beautiful rich colours of blue and orange.

Stabilisers are available to be added to this bike, but it’s great for children who no longer need them!

 

Brownie Junior 16" Wheel

The Brownie Junior 16” bike comes in two fun and traditional colours, accented by beautiful brown handlebars and cream wheels. This bike comes with stabilisers since a lot of younger children can’t yet ride a bike on their own.

Moonbug 16" Wheel

The Moonbug 16” bike comes in three bright and fun colours with matching stabilisers. All of this is perfectly accented by the beautiful traditional brown handlebars in vegan leather and cream wheels.

They're all of the bikes we have ideal for 4 year olds. Choosing the right type of bike for your kids is dependent on their age, size and leg measurements. All of our bikes come with an adjustable seat, meaning your kids will be able to use both the maximum and minimum seat height available. This means they'll be able to keep a comfortable upright position. 

Once your kids get used to a balance bike and then a road bike, they'll soon enough be able to advance to a mountain bike and of course an adult bike as they get older. Choosing the right bike size is a task we've made easy for you!

Best Accessories

Kids bike accessories are maybe the most exciting part of choosing a new bike. Choosing a new helmet, water bottle, handlebar tassels and more is going to make your child want to ride their bike even more! Soon enough, they'll be eager to get on a fun and exciting biking journey.

Basket

If you’re wanting your child to get used to carrying their own belongings, then a basket is ideal. They’ll be able to carry their belongings to and from school, plus any items they’ve gathered whilst shopping.

We have some great traditional style wicker baskets that add a wonderful touch to the bike, whilst also being weatherproof.

Lights

It’s so important to make sure your kids are visible, especially since we’re soon going to be travelling home in the dark. Add a colourful bike light to your child's bike and help them understand the importance of visibility on the roads.
