The woom 5 has a slightly more of an upright riding style than some other kids bikes and can be fitted with a kickstand and mudguards (available to buy seperately) making it good for regular commuting all year round.
However, it also has Kenda small block tyres and 8 Speed 29 T by 11-32T gearing (operated by a SRAM X4 Twist Grip) which makes it fun to ride off road too and has the gearing to get up some quite steep hills.
We've reviewed a couple of the smaller Woom Bikes and were incredibly impressed with the quality and attention to detail. If you think of an Austrian bike built with the same quality and attention to detail as Islabikes, then you can understand why this bike isn't cheap, but is well worth the price tag.

Black Mountain HÜTTO
- Price
- £599.00
- Age Range
- 6–9 years
- Colours
- Green Orange Purple Blue
- Bike Weight
- 8.6kg
- Warranty
- 3-years frame and forks; 2-years non-consumable components. Warranty transferable
The Black Mountain HUTTO is a good choice if you want to save money and hassle over time. This is because it's got a very clever "growing" frame that increases in size so it will last a lot longer than a standard bike.
Having a bike that you know is going to last will be such a relief, as you don't have to do all this searching for a bike again for a while!
There are 7 easy to use gears, which are operated by a grip shifter (which your child twists with their right hand), which will make the transition to a "big" bike nice and easy.
Black Mountain Bikes really are targeting the top end of the quality kids bike market, with not only a very well specified bike, but also their attention to detail with their customer service and commitment to the environment (all their packaging is plastic free). We also like the fact that the warranty is transferable - a nice touch not found with other brands.
Upgrades available include mountain bike mode with disc brakes and suspension forks if you're planning to do a lot of off road riding, or a balance bike adaptor kit if your child is not pedalling.

The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is a lightweight alloy framed mountain bike which features hydraulic disc brakes for confident speed control.
The Specialized Rockhopper is a name that's definitely part of mountain biking history, with the first bike rolling out of the factory way back in 1985.
The tried and tested formula employed by Specialized of creating a good all-rounder at a decent price point still rings true for the Rockhopper Sport.
With an XS and S frame available this is a good entry level mountain bike for a teenager or tall tween who's outgrown the kids bike range.
Scott Scale 26 Rigid
- Price

- Bike Weight
- 11.2kg
- Warranty
- 5 years
For the old-school mountain biking parents there’s a lot of love and nostalgia for rigid mountain bikes. Without the suspension they’ll be more in tune with the trail, and as a result they can learn some great handling skills to take into their cycling lives, both on-road and off. The Scott Scale 26 compensates for the lack of suspension with plush 2.4” tyres, so the ride will still be very comfortable. It also comes with 16-speed Shimano Tourney gearing and hydraulic disc brakes.

The Frog Road 58 makes a good first drop handlebar bike for those wanting to start riding on roads, circuits or at cyclocross events.
The frame has clearance to fit both slick road tyres and more grippy cyclocross tyres, which makes this a good choice kids bike for youngsters racing in triathlons and cyclocross as well as riding on the roads.
When we reviewed the Frog Road 58, one thing our 7 year old tester really liked is that it comes with auxiliary brake levers on the handlebar tops. These are very useful if your child is not confident enough to lean forward onto the drop handlebars.

When we reviewed the Frog Road 67 our tester really liked having the auxiliary brake levers on the handlebars, as the transition to cycling entirely on the drops takes time.
The handlebars are suitably narrow for kids shoulders and the gear shifters are nice and close to the bars to make changing gear easier for small hands.
There's cantilever brakes and enough clearance for wider tyres should you wish to use it for cyclocross / triathlon.

Frog's experience in building kids bikes shows as they are offering two 26" wheel mountain bikes, as kids aren't all the same size! The Frog MTB 72 is the larger of the two bikes, suited for those older kids who have an inside leg of 72cm.
Frog Bikes have designed a lightweight frame specifically for junior riders, to increase stability whilst improving control, and the frame comes with a 5-year warranty.
The Tektro junior specific hydraulic disc brakes make it easy for smaller hands to brake whilst remaining control of the bike.
All the Frog mountain bikes come with junior specific air suspension forks, complete with lockout and damping control, to enable optimal performance for lower weight riders, with 100mm of travel on the two 26″ wheel bikes.
