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.

Frog had a revamp of their 20" wheel bike range, and the Frog 53 was the brand new model for 2022 that replaced the old Frog 52 and Frog 55.

Instead of having to worry about which size to buy, this new model is designed to start small and has room for growth.

For most children this will be their first time using gears on a bike, and you want it to be as easy as possible.

The Frog 53 has 8 speeds which are accessed using an easy reach thumb shifter.

The range of gears is good enough to get up most hills, and if it does get a bit too steep the bike is lightweight enough to hopefully allow your child to keep on pushing (although we can’t promise this – and if you do end up carrying it you’ll be pleased that it only weighs 8.15kg)

We reviewed one of the very first Frog 20" wheel bikes  to be released years ago, and were very impressed by the comfort of the ride, quality of the bike and it’s longevity.

Since then Frog have continued to improve on the specification,  and we see no reason why the new Frog 53 won't continue in that tradition, making it a great choice 20″ wheel geared bike.

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

Giant are one of the world's largest bike manufacturers so it's not surprising that economies of scale mean they can make a decent kids bike at a reasonable price. However, up until 2019, their kids bike offerings had been rather dated in both design and specification as they'd not kept pace with how quickly the design and specification of quality children's bikes has progressed recently.

All that changed with the launch of the ARX range.  It's got all the style, components and quality you want from a lightweight kids bike.

The Giant ARX 20 is the smallest geared offering in the range and is a great all round bike for riding on and off road.

We were very impressed with the bike when we saw it, and our reviewer had a great time riding the Giant ARX 20 to school every day.

You can even get an ARX helmet in a complementary or clashing colour to complete the look!

With the Cube Acid 200 AllRoad they've taken their base Acid 200 model and added some accessories that are likely to be needed when riding on roads or (if you're lucky) lovely safe cycle paths.

So with the Cube Acid 200 AllRoad you get dynamo-powered lights, snap-on mudguards and a kickstand, which make this a more versatile choice of bike for children who are going to be riding their bikes to school during the week and want to explore further at the weekends or holidays.

Hornit HERO 24 is a child focussed design bike that is part of their largest line-up, making it a brilliant choice for school commutes and weekend adventures.

At 8.82kg it's still extremely lightweight, yet robust enough for everyday use by kids aged 6–10.

It is a premium bike that offers good value for money with its features.

The bike is equipped with intuitive MicroSHIFT Acolyte gearing, complete with a clear gear indicator, which makes changing gears smooth and easy for children.

We've not reviewed this specific model, but we have written a brand overview for Hornit Bikes Brand Overview that gives you an insight into the company.

The Jett 20 has all the features you'd expect to find on a quality kids bike, but also has the addition of two positions on the crank so you can move the pedals as your child's legs grow.

To help you size the bike for your child it comes with a nifty online Bike Fit tool. You key in your child's measurements and it will tell you where to position the handlebars, pedals and saddle for correct riding position.

This is all part of the attempt made by Specialized to keep your child on this bike for as long as possible - they claim it should last 30 months (or 3 summers depending on when you buy it) - obviously that does depend on how fast your child grows!

As you'd expect from one of the worlds biggest bike brands, the Giant ARX 24 has all the features we'd expect to see on a quality 24" wheel kids bike.

However, in a sign of how confident they are with the quality of their bikes, Giant offers a lifetime warranty on their frames, plus 10 years on forks. Your child will have grown out of the bike long before then!

We've reviewed the Giant ARX 20 which is the younger sibling to this bike, and were impressed with it's quality and how it rode.

Giant are one of the biggest bike brands, and the Giant ARX 26 is their largest geared kids bike. It's a good all round choice for commuting to school, riding to meet friends at the weekends and perhaps a little bit of off roading too.

Giant use a lot of their own brand components on the bike to keep the costs lower, and whilst they don't provide weights for their bikes we know from reviewing a smaller bike in the range that it's comparable to the competition.

The Black Mountain PINTO is certainly a clever first bike! It's got a unique "growing frame" that means the bike grows with your child, allowing maximum use.

The PINTO is fitted with 14" wheels, but the sizing means it's designed to replace the need for a 12" and a 14" wheel bike.

Age wise it's designed to fit a tall two and a half year old, or an average 3 year old.

The PINTO can also start out in balance bike mode if your child hasn't quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, so you really can get the most out of this one bike.

The Cube Acid 200 Disc is specified with mountain biking in mind.  They've upgraded their standard Acid 200 with disc brakes front and rear to make stopping easier on the trails.

A useful feature is a replaceable derailleur hanger, so that the occasional mishap doesn't write off the entire frame.

We've not reviewed this particular bike, but we've tested a number of Cube's larger mountain bikes and have always been very impressed with them.

The YOMO 24 is a good choice if you're looking for a lightweight, well specified 24" wheel bike with decent disc brakes but also one that's a little bit different from what other kids are riding.  The brand only launched in winter 2023, but we've been very impressed with their range.

We've been sent the slightly smaller 20" wheel bike to review and it's clear that YOMO are serious about the quality of their bikes.  Not only that, but our reviewer is loving test riding it!

There's also a range of stylish kids bike helmets available in matt and gloss finish and vegan leather chin strap.

The woom 3 Automagic is the smallest kids bike with gears making it an excellent choice if you live in a hilly area.  The "Automagic" in the name is the best bit. The bike automatically shifts between the two gears depending on the speed it's being ridden and the gradient your child is riding up.

This gives the benefits of gears without the hassle of having to operate them - perfect for this age group.

The bike has all the features we love about woom bikes, including colour coded brakes, kickstand and water bottle mounts and very comfortable riding position.

Our reviewer found the bike really helped her with the first couple of pedal rotations to get moving, and then ride up steep Lake District hills more easily.

The low standover height of the Specialized Jett 24 means your child can get onto this bike sooner than many other 24" bikes and there's an extra hole for the pedals on the crank meaning you can extend the use of this bike as your child's legs grow.

It also has handy markings on the seat post and handlebars making adjusting the bike easy as your child grows.  To help, Specialized also provide an online Bike Fit tool - you simply input your child's measurements and they will tell you how to adjust the bike to fit.

The Frog 62 is sized for a child with a minimum 62 cm inside leg (that's how the Frog naming convention works, which is an easy way to decide which bike your child needs).

Weighing in at 9.25kg the bike is nice and light, meaning your child will be able to easily manoeuvre it as well as lift it up and over any obstacles on the way (think steps, high kerbs or debris on a trail).  The seat post and wheels are quick-release, making adjustments and maintenance easy.
