The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is a great choice if your child is likely to want to start pedalling at some point soon.  The Rookie 14 starts out as a balance bike but comes with a simple-to-fit pedal conversion kit, meaning you get two bikes for the price of one.

If you decide to try your child with pedals and they're not quite ready you can quickly revert to the balance bike for a while longer.

The Rookie 14 has been designed with the learning to ride phase in mind, with an upright riding position, lightweight frame and child sized components.

We've not reviewed this particular bike, but we were very impressed with the smaller Kidvelo Rookie 12 - you can read our review here.

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?

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

Giant are one of the world's biggest bike brands, and the Giant ARX 16 has everything you'd expect from a single-speed kids bike.

It's really light (great for when you have to pick it up and carry it) and is fitted with versatile tyres for cycling on lots of different surfaces, child-sized components and comes in a range of fun, bold colours.
