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!

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

The Austrian kids bike brand woom is a relative newcomer to the UK, with a range of very lightweight bikes that are proving popular with Cycle Sprog readers.

The woom 4 is their 20" wheel offering, and at 7.7 kg it's one of the lightest geared bikes on the market.

The woom 4 is a good choice for urban cycling, as you can add in an optional extra kickstand for ease of parking up when you've got where you want to go.

You can also fit the woom mudguards (which are available to buy separately) to prevent your child getting too much splashback when they're cycling on raining days.

However, this isn't just a bike for riding on road.  The woom 4 is fitted with Kenda Small block tyres, meaning you can confidently venture onto gravel and grass without any worries.

We've reviewed two single speed, smaller Woom Bikes and were very impressed - they did the daily school run throughout winter and looked as good as new at the end of it. Read our review of the woom 2 and the woom 3 review to find out more.

If you're looking for a quality 20" wheel bike with gears for general use then this bike is certainly worthy of consideration.

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.

It tips the scales at just 6.64kg and is fitted with all-terrain tyres plus it has an integrated headset where the bearings are hidden to protect from the rain and give you peace of mind that your Sprog can enjoy year-round riding whatever the weather.

Other features on this bike include a size specific crankset for little legs, narrow bars, short-reach stem and smaller pedals.

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 Cubley 18 is a great bike for all round riding, if your child isn't quite ready to move up to a geared bike.

It's a good value, lightweight bike with well designed child sized components and performs well on most surfaces a rider of this age is likely to want to go.

The Forme Kinder MX20 is a really versatile all round bike, ideal for children gaining their first experiences on a geared bike, as the rapid fire gears are really easy to use.

When we reviewed this bike we found it shines best on steady gravel tracks as well as on tarmac and where its nimble steering and agility can be used to full effect to nip around tight turns.

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.

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!

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.

The Squish 18 is a good choice if your child isn't quite ready to move up to a geared bike. It has a long wheelbase to give confidence and easy-to-use 'child-sized' brakes that are perfect for smaller hands.

The Squish 18 is fitted with lightweight components, and our 6 year old tester was impressed when she reviewed this bike for us.

Small block tyres are fitted to give good grip on a variety of surfaces, so the Squish 18 can be used for fun in the mud too.

The Squish 16 is a good quality kids' bike built with a focus on being light and easy to handle.

It features a lightweight frame made of triple-butted aluminium, making it easy for a child to control and manoeuvre. All the components, from the shorter cranks to the junior-specific grips and stem, have been designed to fit a young rider's proportions.

With a weight of just 6.30 kg, this bike is a good option for a child aged 4 and up, or with a minimum inside leg of 47 cm. It is equipped with responsive alloy V-brakes with adjustable reach levers, which offer reliable stopping power for small hands.

This bike is a solid choice for a young rider, providing a straightforward and enjoyable cycling experience. It comes with a 10-year warranty on the frame and forks, and a free sticker set, making it a durable and customisable option for a child's first or second bike.

A fun "Squish" figure and colourful splodges make the Squish 14 an appealing bike for young children starting on their pedalling adventures.

The bike has features such as shortened crank arms, stubby stem and short reach brake levers that are designed to make it easy to ride.

And at just 5.83kg it's light enough for you to carry home when your sprog has had enough pedalling for one day.

The Frog Tadpole Plus is a 14" wheel balance bike designed for taller and/or older children with a minimum inside leg of 38cm for whom a 14" wheel pedal bike isn't suitable.

It has a rear brake, but not a front brake, which will help ease a child into learning to brake gently if that's appropriate.  If not, then stopping with their feet is much more fun!

The Tadpole Plus is fitted with a steering lock, which acts as a safety mechanism to prevent any serious falls and damage - to the child or the bike.

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.

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.

Our 10 year old reviewed the Frog 69 MTB over the summer of 2018, so can you find out exactly what we thought of the early iteration of the smaller version of this bike.

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.

The Shimano rapid-fire 9-speed shift lever is an easy to use way to move the chain.

When we reviewed the slightly larger Frog MTB 69 our only complaint was with the supplied tyres, but the later versions have been upgraded to have a bespoke mountain bike tyre which is much better for off road riding.

The Frog Road 70 is a good bike if your child is racing cyclocross or triathlon, as well riding on road, as the frame has enough clearance to fit wider cyclocross tyres as well as slick road ones.

As well as integrated short reach brake levers the Frog Road 70 is also fitted with additional levers on the tops of the handlebars.  This is useful for children who are just progressing to drop handlebars and skinny tyres, as it can be a big step to spend all (or even any) of your time on the drop handlebars.

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.

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.
