Kids bikes from top brands online
Finding the right bike for children is not easy. When buying, you should not only pay attention to high-quality materials and brands, but also to the right size. You can recognise a good children's bicycle by its age-appropriate ergonomics and equipment. Children's bicycles are available with different wheel sizes that are measured in inches. It is important not to buy the bike too big, because your child should feel comfortable on the bike.
The right size for a children's bicycle
Finding the right size is relatively easy. The body size is less important. The most accurate measuring method is to measure the inside leg length. You can find out exactly how to do this in our blog entry The right size for a children's bike.
Bicycles from three years - 12 to 16 inches
After the wheel, the next step is a bike for children from three years of age. The ideal wheel size is between 12 and 14 inches. The important thing about the first wheel is that it is light. That's why we have especially light bikes from Woom, Pyrobike, Frog Bikes, KUbikes, Early Rider and Kokua. A fully enclosed chain guard, a padded impact protection on the handlebars and safety steering handles are also advantageous. Support wheels and a back-pedalling brake are no longer required. A handbrake and only one gear without gearshift are perfect and suitable for children.
Bicycles for children from six years - 20 to 24 inches
When your child is about six years old, he or she is ready for cycling tours with the families. With the right bike it can keep up with the parents. Children's bicycles from 20 to 24 inches are ideal. In this age group, the inner leg length can vary greatly and ranges from 52 to 62 centimeters. The Frog bikes even come with a second set of tyres.
Youth bicycles from 11 years - 26 to 27,5 inch
When the kids are slowly growing up, they are also on tour with friends. They are then ready for youth bicycles with 26 to 27.5 inches. In addition to a gear shift, they also have suspension forks with damping, disc brakes and a light frame on board. The first rough trails as well as long tours can now be done with your children. Specialized also has the first mountain bikes in this category.
High-quality brands and manufacturers of children's and youth bicycles
Extra light bikes are especially suitable for children. These are produced exclusively by high-quality brands and manufacturers from Germany and Europe. In the BIKEBOX Onlineshop you will find bikes of the following brands.
