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.

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!

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.

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!)

The Squish MTB 26 is Squish's 26" wheeled mountain bike with a 13" frame aimed at kids aged 9+.

The MTB 26 comes with a range of features now common-place on quality children's bikes, such as, a tuneable air suspension fork, disc brakes and a lightweight, aluminium frame.

The disc brakes are of the mechanical variety, which means you get plenty of reliable stopping power, but with minimal maintenance.

At the front end, suspension duties are taken care of by SR Suntour XCR-LO air fork with 100mm of travel, perfect for most XC forays.

The drivetrain is provided by a Shimano 8 speed 11-32T cassette paired with a 32T chainring mounted to a 152mm crank.

The MTB 26 comes in at 12.5kg, which is on the heavier side within the world of lightweight quality children's bikes, but it is still a very respectable weight considering it features a suspension fork.

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'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 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.

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.

We think this single speed, easy to ride bike is going to be popular with children who are too tall for a standard 16" wheel pedal bike, but don't have the ability yet to move onto a bike with gears.

The Frog 47 has a minimum inside leg of 47cm and comes with all the features you'd expect from one of the best known premium kids bike brands.  This includes a lightweight aluminium frame, grippy tyres and child proportioned components.

We've not reviewed this particular Frog bike but we have reviewed a number of other sizes and they've all been great, long lasting and fun to ride.

The Hornit HERO 24 is well worth considering if you're not really into bike maintenance.

The bike has a belt drive and an internal gear hub rather than the more common bike chain and external derailleur found on kids bike in the UK.

This means there's less to go wrong, and less oily bits to transfer onto clothing.

The three speed gears make it really easy to change gear - something many children struggle with.

We’ve not reviewed this particular bike, but we have reviewed the smaller Hornit HERO 14 and were very impressed.

Even better news is the HERO 24 is currently reduced and they now offer Klarna 0% which lets you split your purchase into 3 interest-free monthly payments.

The BTwin 26 is a good choice if you're looking for a lightweight aluminium framed bike but don't want the cost of some of the more premium brands. The bike is aimed at ages 9 and over.

The Hoozar Cruz 12 balance bike is one of the lightest and best value balance bikes on the market which has a rear brake.

As well as the brake, the Cruz also features a lightweight frame, "proper" air filled pneumatic tyres, a footrest and adjustable scoop seat.

Weighing only 3.2kg the Cruz 12 is easy for young riders to manoeuvre and parents to transport. It is aimed at children from 18 months old to approximately 5 years old.

Rockrider (who are an in-house brand of Decathlon) are going through a makeover of their kids bicycle range, with some very good value bikes arriving in stock.

The Rockrider EXPL500 is a 26" wheel kids mountain bike aimed at riders around 9-12 years of age and between 135 and 150cm tall.

Featuring an aluminium frame and suspension fork at the front, the ST500 comes with a single chainring and 7 speed gearing using a thumbshifter to minimise complications (kids mountain bikes at this cheap a price usually have a lot more gears that are confusing to use and harder to maintain).

The bike is equipped with v-brakes and a set of tyres suitable for gentle off roading.

They've got a great video on the Decathlon website showing the types of fun you can have on these bikes.

The Rockrider EXPL500 really does represent value for money and would be a great way to get a child off road and muddy!

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.

Frog have three 26" wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It's a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn't really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning - Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more "adult" brand.

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!

The YOMO 26 is a premium lightweight bike that makes the jump to a larger size easy and fun for your child. It's an excellent choice for kids looking to tackle varied terrain and longer rides.

This bike stands out with its Tektro disc brakes, which are a premium feature not found on cheaper kids bikes. These provide reliable stopping power in all conditions and are easy for smaller hands to operate, giving your child more confidence and control on the bike.

With an aluminium frame and quality components, the YOMO 26 weighs just 9.9 kg, which is significantly lighter than many bikes of this size.
This makes it much easier for your child to handle and manoeuvre, whether they are on roads, paths or trails.

We have been impressed by the quality of the smaller bikes in the range and we're confident the YOMO 26 is a great choice. You can read our review of the YOMO 24 to find out more about the brand.
