Cuda Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so only limited new stock remains but they're worth hunting down second hand.
The Cuda Trace 26 is a lightweight aluminium bike ideal for both on-road and venturing off-road to tackle muddy trails and comes fitted with the ever-popular Kenda small block 8 tyres. It's aimed at ages 8 years and over and is available in Blue, Orange and purple.

The Carrera Centos Hybrid 26 is a budget-friendly kids' bike that offers a grown-up look for older children. As a budget option, it is a good way to introduce your child to a multi-geared bike for riding on roads, paths, and light tracks. It comes equipped with a kickstand and V-brakes.
It is worth noting that this is a heavy bike, coming in at 18kg, which can be a challenge for a child to handle. The gear system features a double chainring with 14 gears, which can be overly complicated for a child new to changing gears.
For these reasons, if you're looking for a bike that is easier for your child to ride and enjoy, you might want to consider other options.

The Cube Cubie 160 is styled on Cube's adult mountain bike range, so looks a lot more grown up than some other little bikes.
It's worth noting that this bike has a rear coaster brake, which means your child has to back pedal to stop. These brakes tend to be more popular in the US and continental Europe than the UK, but can be useful for children who aren't yet able to operate more traditional brake levers.
The Cube Cubie 160 comes with a rear mudguard to keep off most of the dirt and a chain guard to keep things clean.

The Wild 24 is certainly a lot of bike for the price, with the all-important Tektro short-reach brake levers sized for children's hands.
The gears on the Wild 24 are 8-speed (11-32T) with a single 32T chainset, which means they avoid the complications of lots of gears and a left-hand shifter you often get with cheaper kids bikes. The Wild 24 uses a thumb shifter to change through the 8-gears. It is available in 2 two-toned colours.
This bike will be a significantly better riding experience than the hunks of steel that are sold in some of the cheaper stores.
