Tips for Buying a Children’s Bike

When purchasing a children’s bike, it’s crucial to choose the right size. A properly sized bike allows your child to mount and dismount easily, ensuring safer riding.

A bike that’s too large can lead to dangerous situations, as it can make it difficult for your child to stop or get off safely. Let your child progress at their own pace by starting with a balance bike and then moving on to a pedal bike without training wheels.

What Size Bike Does My Child Need?

Children grow quickly, so selecting the right bike size is essential. Use the sizing tool on each product page to determine the best fit for your child’s bike.

Choosing the Right Bike Size Based on Clothing Size

Age alone doesn’t always give a clear picture, as one child may be taller than another of the same age. The child’s height and clothing size are usually the best indicators of which bike size to choose.

Children’s bikes are typically measured by wheel size, with common options like 12, 16, or 18 inches.

Ensuring a Safe Fit for Your Child’s Bike

Children grow fast, so it’s important to periodically check that the bike is properly adjusted. Make sure the handlebars and seat are set to the right height. When pedaling, your child’s legs should not be fully extended, and they should be able to put a foot on the ground without having to get off the seat.

Saddle Height and Leg Room on Children’s Bikes

For optimal comfort and stability, the saddle on a child’s bike should be set to the correct height. On balance bikes and first pedal bikes, children should be able to reach the ground easily with their feet. As they gain confidence, the saddle can be raised slightly, but it should remain low enough for them to touch the ground with the balls of their feet.

There should be at least 3 to 5 cm of clearance between the top tube and your child’s inseam for comfort and safety.

Knee Angle on Children’s Bikes

The height of the saddle influences the knee angle. On balance bikes, the seat should be low to allow easy ground contact, which means the knees will be more bent. As children gain skill, the seat can be raised, allowing for a nearly straight leg while pedaling. This position helps improve power and reduces fatigue.

Foot Position on a Children’s Bike

As your child learns to ride, they should be able to reach the ground with their feet. Once confident, it’s best if only the balls of their feet touch the ground. For efficient pedaling, the ball of the foot should rest flat on the pedal.

CUBE Children’s Bike Sizes

At CUBE, we offer bikes with wheel sizes of 12, 16, 18, 20, 24, and 26 inches. Some models are also labeled as XXS, XS, or S, depending on the specific dimensions.

A Perfect Bike for Every Child

For children just starting out, a bike with training wheels can be a helpful first step. The height of the training wheels can be adjusted to allow your child to develop balance at their own pace. When you see they no longer need them, they’re ready for the real deal!
