Best 10 Kids Bike Reviews for 2021

One of the greatest joys of being a parent is helping your child learn to ride a bike.
But before you get to the fun part, you’ve got to choose the best bike for them to ride.
It can be quite a daunting decision because there are so many to choose from.
If it’s their first bike, you want one that will be an excellent introduction to cycling.
 
If their cycling experience is a little further along the road, you want a bike that is comfortable, safe, and not too taxing on your bank balance.

There are many brands to choose from, and there’s not enough room on this page to cover them all. But we can share our top picks for 2021.

Age range: 18 months to 3 years
Material: Plastic

2. Frog 40
 
Age range: 3-4
Wheel size: 14”
Number of gears: single speed

Pros
Soft handlebar grips for comfort
Comes complete with a bell, reflectors, and mudguards for cleanliness and safety
Comes in a range of colours
Cons
Little on the pricey side
Check it on Amazon
3. Black Mountain Pinto

Wheel size: 14”
Number of gears: single speed
Weight: 5.7kg

If your little ones are ready to take the next step up in the world of cycling, this bike fits the bill. Again, the price tag is high, but it will provide hours of fun for several years.
Pros
Lightweight at just 5.7kg
Stabilisers included
It can grow with your child

4. Pedal Pals

If your budget is limited, a Pedal Pals bike is one of the best and a great replacement for your kid’s balance bike.

5. Squish 18
Age range: 4+
Wheel size: 18”
Number of gears: single speed
Weight: 6.96kg
This bike is a good choice for those who are ready to move on from their starter bike.
It comes in at a lower price than the competition and is designed specifically for kids who aren’t quite ready to jump onto a geared 20” wheel bike.
Pros
Well designed
Child-specific chain set that makes it easy to ride
Warranty of three years on the frame and forks
Cons
No quick-release seat post clamp, so a tool is needed to raise the seat up and down
No mudguards, which can make off-road riding a little messy

6. Hoy Bonaly 20
Age range: 5-8
Wheel size: 20”
Number of gears: 6
Weight: 8kg
As a transition bike, this one comes in at the top of our list. It provides a little bit more of a challenge when your kid is ready to ditch the stabilisers for good.
It has a mountain bike feel about it but isn’t over-complicated.
Pros
Support and control for small riders thanks to the rigid forks and short cranks
Semi-treated tyes make off-road cycling a little easier
Associated with Olympic legend Chris Hoy for added street cred
Cons
Stabilisers not included
Little bit on the pricey side

7. Giant ARX 24
Age range: 7-10
Wheel size: 24”
Number of gears: 8
Weight: 8.6kg
Giant is one of the world’s best-known bike manufacturers, and this one is their premium offering for kids.

Pros
Lifetime warranty on the frame
10-year warranty on the forks and 1-year warranty on all other components
Light-weight and easy to ride
Cons
Not as light as some of the competition
Can only change gear when the bike is being pedalled.

8. Islabikes Beinn Multi-Purpose Bikes
Age range: 5-10
Wheel size: 20-26”
Number of gears: 7
Weight: 7.9kg

From the moment it comes out of the box, this bike oozes charm and character. It’s bright, well-made, and a dream to ride.
Pros
Quick-release alloy hub wheels
Gear set up makes any terrain easy to ride
Chainguard on both sides makes it a practical and stylish ride
Cons
Gear change a little tricky for beginners
Shiftting down the gears requires a certain amount of strength
See this bike on Amazon
9. Ridgeback MX14
Age range: 2-13
Wheel size: 20-24”
Number of gears: wide range depending on the model
Weight: 7-12.5kg

This is the starter bike in the MX range and has all the features you’d expect. It’s a durable choice that should last several kids.
Pros:
Lightweight aluminium frame
Child-sized components
V-brakes front and rear
Cons
A little heavy for small riders
On the small side, which means your kids will grow out of it quickly
Check out the Ridgeback bike.

10. Frog 58 Road Bikes
Age range: 6-8
Wheel size: 20”
Number of gears: 9
Weight: 8.2kg
This road bike from Frog comes complete with a set of cyclocross tyres and is perfect if your junior rider wants to participate in road racing.

Easy-shift Microshift gear levers

Customer Reviews:

I contacted Trampolines at short notice & late in the evening with a query about a Berg Cart for my son's birthday. Gary responded immediately and since the initial contact to the delivery of the cart, the service has been excellent with updates and support. I had an issue putting the cart together which was own mistake but Gary's support was again excellent, Thanks Gary, appreciate all your help and kind support - James (Mayo)

Thank you very much for your help with this, I really do appreciate it. A very happy customer! (So far anyway - I'll come back to you after my lovely neighbours finish putting it together!! That will be fun!! I imagine there may be some choice language! 😊).
Thanks again Gary.
Birgit
Our trampoline arrived and has being assembled. Our son (13) loves it. We have had trampolines since he was three but this one is amazing. Hope to get many years from it. My friends have their springless trampoline 22 years and it is still in great condition.
Best wishes
Alison
The O92 model is much better for min 2 kids in it, they are much happier and a lot less crying now they have their own space. Much appreciate you allowing me to swap.
Thanks, great service.
