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.

The Shyre Eastie 24 is a good value mountain bike built for young riders who want to explore beyond the pavement and tackle real trails.

It features a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame, which helps growing riders feel confident and in control on rougher ground.

With front suspension and mechanical disc brakes, this bike is designed to make descents and varied terrain much easier to handle.

The chunky all-terrain tyres provide essential grip and stability when riding off road on gravel tracks and woodland trails.

The 7-speed Shimano gearing is easy to use and helps make hills and longer routes feel less strenuous for your child.

While we haven't tested this specific model, we have previously reviewed the smaller Shyre Hopton 20 (their hybrid bike) and were impressed with the range's build quality and focus on good value cycling.

Frog's smallest pedal bike is the 14" wheel Frog 40 (Frogs are named after the shortest leg length that the bike suits - in this case 40 cm).

It's a lightweight bike so it's easy for a child to ride, and has all the child-sized components that give parents peace of mind that their child is riding safely.

We've reviewed the earlier version of Frog's 14" wheel bike - the slightly bigger Frog 43 - and it got a thumbs up from our reviewer.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 40 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

If you're looking for a first bike for your Cycle Sprog then the woom 2 is an excellent choice as it's one of the lightest 14" wheel bikes available.

When we reviewed this bike we were really impressed at how well it performed on the daily school run in all weathers and our tester loved how easy the bike was to ride.

One thing that’s great about the woom 2 is the different coloured brake levers, so you can tell your child to use the green brake and there’s no chance of them getting their left and rights mixed up. Clever!

The Hornit HERO 20 is a premium, child-focussed design, offering a fantastic first experience of gears for children aged 4 to 7.

The Hornit HERO 20 is one of the smallest and lightest geared 20-inch bikes available, which is ideal for little ones keen to get on a geared bike.

The bike is designed for mixed terrain cycling, making it great for neighbourhood cruising, gentle off-road paths, cycling to school, and family holidays.

We've previously provided a brand overview of Hornit Bikes, which you can read here.

Weighing in at a very light 7.95kg, it is a great lightweight option that helps smaller riders manage their bike more easily.

It comes equipped with simple MicroSHIFT Acolyte gears and intuitive index-finger and thumb shifters, a change from the 2021 HERO which had 3-speed hub gearing.

With a focus on performance and quality, if the Hornit HERO 20 isn't quite right for your needs, you can find more options in our Best 20 inch kids bikes for 6 to 8 year olds.

If your child is ready for their first geared bike for your child you can't go wrong with the new YOMO 20.   This bike was only released in winter 2023, so is also great if you like to be a bit different to the crowd, but still want the quality associated with other more established premium kids bike brands.

We've been sent the YOMO 20 to review and not only were we really impressed with the specification and build quality, our reviewer is really enjoying the riding experience too, which at the end of the day is the most important thing.

YOMO also have a range of stylish kids bike helmets, with leather chin pad and a no-pinch magnetic fastener.

woom are an Austrian kids bike company and their products are now available in the UK. Think of them as the central European equivalent of Islabikes in terms of attention to detail, and you're not far off the mark.

The woom Original 3 weighs in at just 5.5 kg making it one of the lightest 16" wheel bike we've reviewed. This is due to almost every part on the woom 3 being made from lightweight aluminium.

The bike can be upgraded to have a kickstand - ideal for neat storage and preventing the bike from getting thrown on the ground.

A nice touch is that the rear brake block and the rear brake lever both have green on them, so you can call out to your child to pull on the green brake - simple but effective!

Our 4 year old reviewer loved riding the woom Original 3 - you can read her dad's thoughts here woom Original 3 Automagic Review

Sadly Forme Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so new bikes are now hard to find.  However the good news is most of their warehouse was bought by Bike Club so kids can continue to ride these great bikes for years to come.  

The Forme Kinder MX24 is a versatile all-rounder of a bike that will be just as happy riding some trails at the weekends as it will be doing the daily school run.

It's light weight, which is really important as your child is likely to get more adventurous with their cycling at this age, and as they ride further they're going to have to deal with more steps, kerbs and other obstacles.

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!)

Boardman Bikes have been, until very recently, an adult  bike brand.  In Winter 2022 they launched a range of kids bike, and the Jnr 26" is the largest flat bar bike in the range.

They say it's "a premium adult bike, just in a smaller size" and the lightweight aluminium frame comes equipped with cable disc brakes.  There's mounting points for a rear rack and front and rear mudguards so you can tailor to the type of riding you're doing.

The Squish 26 comes with a 13" frame for those with a minimum inside leg of 67cm, and a 15" frame for those slightly taller (with a minimum inside leg of 70cm).  The bikes have been designed to appeal to older kids. 

The range of 8 gears should be sufficient for most lumps and bumps and the tyres will be fine for a variety of terrains, although if you're thinking of mainly doing mountain biking Squish also do a 26" wheel MTB.

We haven't reviewed this particular bike, but we have tested two other Squish bikes and found them to be good quality, lightweight bikes that are great fun to ride.
