Question 1

What size bike does my child need by age?

Accepted Answer

As a rough guide, a 12 inch bike fits ages 2 to 3, a 14 inch bike ages 3 to 4, a 16 inch bike ages 4 to 6 and a 20 inch bike ages 5 to 8. Kids of the same age can differ a lot in leg length, so check height too: roughly 86 to 102 cm for 12 inch, 94 to 109 cm for 14 inch, 109 to 122 cm for 16 inch and 122 to 135 cm for 20 inch

Question 2

How do I know a kids bike fits properly?

Accepted Answer

Have your child stand over the bike with both feet flat on the ground. There should be about 5 to 10 cm of space between them and the top tube. When seated, their leg should stay slightly bent at the bottom of the pedal stroke and they should reach the handlebars with a small bend in the elbows

Question 3

What is the best bike for a 2 year old?

Accepted Answer

A balance bike or toddler bike is the usual first choice at this age. It has no pedals, so your child pushes along with their feet and learns to balance and steer first. Taller 2 year olds may also fit a 12 inch bike with training wheels

Question 4

What size bike is right for a 3 year old?

Accepted Answer

Most 3 year olds fit a 12 inch or 14 inch bike. A 14 inch bike suits children roughly 94 to 109 cm tall, and if your child is shorter than that, a 12 inch bike or a balance bike is the better fit

Question 5

Balance bike or training wheels, which is better?

Accepted Answer

A balance bike teaches balance and steering without pedals, and kids who start on one often skip training wheels completely. Training wheels add two small removable wheels at the back for extra stability while a beginner learns to pedal. Most children are ready for pedals at around 4 or 5

Question 6

Do you sell girls bikes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The range includes girls bikes from Vaux Starlette, Vaux Eva, Mogoo Joy and Mogoo Pearl in 12 to 20 inch sizes, and some models come with a front basket and training wheels

Question 7

Are magnesium and aluminium kids bikes better than steel?

Accepted Answer

They are lighter, which makes the bike easier for a small child to handle and steer. Bike experts suggest a kids bike should weigh no more than 30 to 40% of the child’s own weight
