YOMO bikes are an exciting new addition to the world of kids bikes.  Launching late in 2023 their ambition is to get more children riding quality, lightweight bikes. Their fun design and range of colours will appeal to young children, whilst you can appreciate the lightweight frame, child sized components and attention to detail with the geometry that will make the YOMO 14 an easy and enjoyable first pedal bike.

We've been sent a larger sized bike to review and we were really impressed with it, so we're happy to recommend the range to our readers.

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?

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.

The B’TWIN Discover 100 16″ Kids’ Bike is designed for children aged 4 to 6 years, typically measuring between 105 cm and 125 cm tall.  It's ideal for first-time riders graduating from balance bikes to pedals.

It features a steel frame that’s built to be simple, sturdy and easy to ride, helping little cyclists gain confidence on their early adventures.

This model has a low step-over frame, which makes it much easier for young riders to get on and off the bike independently. The adjustable handlebar and saddle height allow the bike to grow with your child, and it’s also compatible with stabilisers and child-friendly accessories like baskets and bells.

Priced at £139.99, the Discover 100 represents excellent value for money, offering a well-designed, child-friendly bike at an affordable price.

We haven't reviewed this specific bike, but on Decathlon’s site, it holds an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on 84 reviews, with many parents giving 5/5 scores for compatibility, ergonomic design, preparation (assembly), and overall value.  We have however reviewed a number of BTwin bikes and have always been impressed with the value for money they offer.

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.

The Shyre Hopton 16 is an excellent choice for a child's first bike, designed to make the transition from a balance bike to pedals as smooth as possible. It's lightweight, weighing just 7kg, so it's easy for little ones to handle and for you to carry. All the parts, from the frame to the handlebars, are shaped to fit a smaller child, giving them a comfortable and balanced feel right from the start.

This bike is intended for children aged 4 to 6 years. The single, simple gear means there's nothing complicated to learn—your child can focus purely on pedalling and steering. It also comes with easy-to-use brakes that are perfect for small hands, along with soft grips and grippy pedals to build confidence.

As a bonus, every bike purchase comes with a free branded helmet while stocks last, so you can make sure your little rider is safe and ready to go from day one.

The Shyre Hopton 20 is a great mid-range bike for kids who are ready to explore beyond the pavement. Our Cycle Sprog reviewer found it to be a fun, sturdy bike that handles well on a variety of terrains, from parks to light gravel paths. The 7-speed trigger shifters are a welcome upgrade from twist shifters and are a good way to introduce your child to gears.

Early Rider Bella Velio is a beautifully crafted first ride-on for little ones from around 10 months old.

It’s light at just 2.8kg, so toddlers can move it around easily, and it’s made from laminated walnut and birch for a premium feel that’s built to last. This isn’t just a toy – it’s a thoughtfully engineered first step into cycling from a brand known for quality.

The stand-out feature is Early Rider’s patented Active Balance Control (ABC) system, which helps children learn dynamic balance and correct their steering as they ride. The “point and go” steering makes it intuitive and enjoyable for little riders, setting them up with the basics that later make balance bikes and pedal bikes much easier.

It even comes with a removable parental handle, a little ‘passport’ to record milestones, and a polishing cloth to keep it looking smart.

The Ridgeback Dimension 27.5 is a lightweight bike with full-size 27.5″ wheels, designed for young riders aged 11 and upwards, bridging the gap between kids' bike and full adult bike.

At 10.7kg, the lightweight aluminium build keeps things easy to manage, while the Shimano 8-speed gear system, with an 11-45T cassette, makes light work of every hill, track and back lane.

A well thought-out bike from an established UK brand, offering unbeatable value for young riders stepping up towards their first full-size adult bike.

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.

The Ridgeback MX27.5 is a bike with full-size 27.5″ wheels, designed for young riders aged 11 and upwards, bridging the gap between kids' bike and full adult bike.

The Black Mountain SKØG is a really clever bike designed to grow with your child.

It's got 16" wheels and an innovative "growing frame” designed for smaller riders, so you can skip the hassle and the expense of buying two bikes.

The SKØG is fitted with a maintenance and oil free belt drive rather than a traditional chain, to keep things easy and clean.

Age wise it’s designed for about 4.5 years up (102cm to 121cm height range) which could be until 7 years old (depending on growth rate.)

The SKØG can also be used as a balance bike if your child hasn’t quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, which will help speed up the "learning to ride" phase.

Our reviewer hadn't started pedalling when she got the SKØG - you can read our review of how quickly she became a confident cyclist here.

Black Mountain Bikes have a really clever "growing frame" which means that when your child outgrows the original frame size you can adjust the frame and the gearing to make it last much longer.

This means you get at least two bikes for your money and don't have the hassle of having to sort out a new bike. 

The KAPĒL is their 18" wheel offering, but taller children may want to move straight onto the 20" wheel HUTTØ to get maximum usage.

Most 18" wheel bike are single speed, meaning they don't have gears.  The KAPĒL is one of the exceptions, making it ideal for those who regularly ride hills.  Do remember that not all children are ready to start using gears at this age.  

Another clever feature about these bikes is the fact that they can start out in balance bike mode if needed (you do need to buy an additional balance bike convertor kit) so your child can progress from learning to balance through to pedalling all without you needing to buy a new bike.

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.

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 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!

The woom 1 plus balance bike is sized for children aged between about three and a half to 5 years of age, with an inside leg measurement of between 36cm and 49cm, although all kids do vary in size so it's best to measure them carefully.

This 14″ wheel balance bike comes with both front and rear brakes which is again quite unusual for balance bikes and helps with the step up to a pedal bike if and when the time is right.

One thing we like about the woom range is that they colour code the rear brake lever and the brake pads, so you can just tell your child to use the green brake. No confusing left/rights or front/backs.  This colour coding continues through their starter pedal bikes which is helpful.
