The Carrera Luna 24 is a Budget 24-inch wheel mountain bike for young riders aged 8 to 11.

It is offers much better quality than the cheaper options found at Halfords and your child will appreciate this.

Its lightweight aluminium frame and front suspension are good for family rides and gentle off-road paths. While the bike is quite heavy at 14kg, it should be manageable on easier terrain.

Dependable mechanical disc brakes will give your child confidence and reliable stopping power, especially in the wet.

The 14-speed Revoshift gearing is more complex to operate than a single chain ring found on more expensive bikes, but the shifters are designed to be easy for kids hands to use.

The Forme Kinder MX20 is a really versatile all round bike, ideal for children gaining their first experiences on a geared bike, as the rapid fire gears are really easy to use.

When we reviewed this bike we found it shines best on steady gravel tracks as well as on tarmac and where its nimble steering and agility can be used to full effect to nip around tight turns.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get this great Forme Bike for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for another one (the bike, not the child!)

The Rockrider ST 900 is the top specification mountain bike in BTwin's 20" wheel mountain bike range.

With a lightweight aluminium frame, front suspension, 6 speeds and grippy tyres this is a great value bike for introducing your child to the joys of mountain biking.

The bike is unusual in that it has a front disk brake and a rear V-brake.  The disc brake will help give some additional stopping power in the wet, and the V-brake helps to keep the price down.

The brake levers are designed for small hands (and the saddle is moulded for little bottoms).  It's also supplied with a front and rear LED light.

BTWIN 20” EXPL 900R is a good value, budget-friendly mountain bike designed to help your adventurous child grow in skill and confidence.

The bike is on the heavier side for a 20” wheel bike at 9.9 kg, but our petite reviewer didn't find this detrimental to the enjoyment of riding it.

It features mechanical disc brakes which provide powerful, progressive stopping in all weather conditions, a great safety benefit for adventurous riding.

The simple 8-speed Microshift 1x drivetrain and the innovative Easytrigger shifter make changing gears intuitive and fun for a child in this age group.

Cycle Sprog rates this bike highly for its good components at a great price point, which is why we’ve given it a full review.

Cuda Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so only limited new stock remains but they're worth hunting down second hand. 

Cuda streamlined their offering for the kids bike market by doing away with the affordable Leisure range and the higher specification Performance range and basically combining the two to create the Trace.

The Trace 24 is a respectable weight at 9.91 kg and also provides a good specification which all adds up to a bike to get out on and have fun but at a very competitive price. The Trace 24 is available in Blue, Orange & Purple and is aimed at 8 years and over.

The Hornit HERO 14 is an exceptional choice for a child's first pedal bike, especially for smaller or younger riders.

It's an ultralight aluminium bike, weighing just 5.33kg, which makes it incredibly easy for a child to handle and manoeuvre.

Its standout feature is its low standover height, which is comparable to the much-loved, but now discontinued, Islabike Cnoc 14.

This makes the HERO 14 a perfect fit for children aged 3-5 years with an inside leg of 34-41cm, offering a confidence-boosting and frustration-free riding experience.

It features a child-friendly design, including an upright riding position, short cranks, and a new Hebie Looper Chainguard for safety, making the HERO 14 a premium, good value option from a trusted brand.

The Squish 18 is a good choice if your child isn't quite ready to move up to a geared bike. It has a long wheelbase to give confidence and easy-to-use 'child-sized' brakes that are perfect for smaller hands.

The Squish 18 is fitted with lightweight components, and our 6 year old tester was impressed when she reviewed this bike for us.

Small block tyres are fitted to give good grip on a variety of surfaces, so the Squish 18 can be used for fun in the mud too.

The YOMO 16 is a great choice bike if you're looking for something a little bit different for your child.  The brand only launched in winter 2023, so there's not many of these bikes around, so they're bound to get people talking.

YOMO is the brainchild of a dad of two who has worked for years in the kids bike industry, which you can tell from the attention to detail on the specification.

We've been sent a larger geared bike to review and we've been very impressed, and reckon this bike will get your child smiling and pedalling in no time!

They're also doing a stylish range of kids cycle helmets with a choice of both matt and glossy finish.

We've not reviewed this particular bike, but you can probably tell from the title of our review of it's smaller sibling that we're very impressed with these bikes!  YOMO 14 Review: Is this the perfect first pedal bike?

We think this single speed, easy to ride bike is going to be popular with children who are too tall for a standard 16" wheel pedal bike, but don't have the ability yet to move onto a bike with gears.

We've not reviewed this particular Frog bike but we have reviewed a number of other sizes and they've all been great, long lasting and fun to ride.

The Scott Contessa/Roxter 14 are great kids bikes suitable for young riders aged 3 to 5 years old.

The main thing to realise about the bike is that the rear brake is a coaster brake. This means that your child needs to pedal backwards to stop their bike. This will happen without them having to use the brake lever for the front brake.

Some young children struggle with brake levers and prefer the backpedalling motion, and can learn to use the single brake lever in their own time. However, do remember that they will need to learn to use two brake levers when they move onto the next sized bike.

Whilst the Scott Contessa/Roxter 14 bikes comes with stabilisers we'd recommend a balance bike instead if they're not ready to pedal just yet. However, if your child has additional needs and cannot ride a balance bike, then the Contessa/Roxter is a great option.

The BTwin Rockrider ST900 model is a generously equipped kids mountain bike with a new lightweight aluminium frame design paired with a Suntour XCT suspension fork with 50mm of travel to help cushion the lumps and bumps of forays through woods and forests.

Aimed at riders between the ages of 9 and 12, the ST900 takes the game a step further than its ST500 sibling, with the fitment of mechanical disc brakes front and rear for added stopping power, plus an 8 speed gearing system with a single chainring at the front for simplicity and operated with a Shimano Altus thumbshifter and derailleur.

The Rockrider ST900 also compares favourably with bikes carrying a higher price tag in terms of weight, coming in at 12kg including pedals.

The Van Rysel Triban 100 26” road bike is designed for children aged 9-12, or 135-150 cm tall.

The aluminium frame and fork is paired with a mixed Shimano and Microshift 7-speed drivetrain, providing a decent enough range of gears for most road cycling, alongside dual Tektro brake levers. This means there are two sets: one on the top of the handlebar, and another integrated into the drop bar levers. This helps riders progress from flat bar riding to drop bar riding with confidence.

The skinny 25mm B’Twin Resist 5 tyres offer efficient rolling and stability, while the bike comes complete with battery-powered lights, a bell and wheel reflectors. It’s also compatible with mudguards, a rear rack and a bottle cage, which you can add separately. A great starter road bike if all they're interested in is riding on tarmac.
