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. 

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the bike for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

Toddlebike/Lena Scooter

Age Range
1–3 years
Colours
Red
Bike Weight
0.8kg

The Lena Toddlebike is a perfect beginners 'scooter' (or pre-balance bike) for when a child has begun walking (usually around 18months, but it can be earlier) and has an inside leg measurement of 20cm.

The Toddlebike features two wheels at the rear, making it more stable than a balance bike if your child isn't at that stage yet, and requires more stability.

The geometry is narrower than a traditional three-wheel trike, which enables your child to learn the balance skills needed to progress quickly onto a balance bike when they are ready.

It can be used inside and outside the house and is REALLY lightweight (less than 1kg).

The Specialized Rockhopper 27.5 is a classic mountain bike that has been going for decades. In fact, Cycle Sprog's founders Karen and Chris bought Rockhopper Comp's way back in 2000 (years before they got married and had kids) and it was these bikes that really got them into mountain biking.

As with everything, the range has got more complicated, with the bikes now coming in a variety of models.  The main difference is in the quality of the components as you go from the standard model, through the Sport, Comp and Expert models.  Just choose the one to suit your budget and you or your kid will have a fine time out on the trails.

The bikes are available in XS and S frame sizes making these suitable for younger teens or smaller adults.

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 OFF 4 is a premium, high-spec mountain bike designed for adventurous children aged 6 to 8 who want to explore off-road trails.

We have reviewed this exact bike and found the components to be incredibly well-thought-out, making riding genuinely enjoyable for little kids.

The bike's biggest stand-out feature is its extremely lightweight design, which is a major confidence booster when tackling mixed terrain.

The frame geometry is specifically tuned for comfort and inspiring confidence on the trails, allowing your child to focus on riding.

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 Rockrider Kids’ Mountain Bike 26″ EXPL 900 is designed for children aged around 9 to 12 years (135–150 cm tall) who are ready to take their riding up a notch.

With a lightweight aluminium frame and an 80 mm suspension fork, it’s built to handle proper trails and give young riders the confidence to roll over bumps, roots and rougher ground. The simple 9‑speed gears are easy to use, so kids can focus on enjoying the ride rather than fiddling with tricky gear changes.

One of the real stand‑out features at this price is the hydraulic disc brakes. Many kids’ mountain bikes around this budget come with basic V‑brakes, so having the same smooth, powerful stopping power you’d expect on an adult mountain bike is a big win. Paired with grippy 26″ all‑terrain tyres and strong double‑wall rims, it’s ready for weekend rides on the trails as well as everyday cycling. Everything – from the child‑sized cranks and short stem to the comfy saddle – is designed with young riders in mind.

At around £450, this is one of the best value kids’ mountain bikes out there. You’re getting the kind of quality and components you’d normally expect to pay a lot more for, but without the big‑name branding.

If your child is starting to outgrow basic bikes and you want something trail‑ready that will last, the EXPL 900 is a smart choice that won’t break the bank.

With a minimum inside leg measurement of just 26cm the woom 1 is one of the best balance bikes for shorter toddlers with little legs who are ready to move onto two wheels.

However it's got 12cm of growth so it's good for slightly taller children too - and with plenty of room for growth.

The woom 1 is really lightweight which means it's easy for a younger rider to move about - plus it's kinder for you to carry when they get fed up and decide they've had enough balance biking for one day!

The Forme Cubley 14 has all the features that you want when your child is learning to ride so they gain confidence quickly.

Weighing in at just 6.12kg the Cubley 14 is light enough for your child to pick it up and manoeuvre themselves, and not too heavy for you to carry if they suddenly decide they’ve had enough halfway through your ride.

The geometry of this bike has been designed with the youngest of riders in mind, and it comes with a size specific crankset and pedals for little legs, narrow bars, and a short reach stem. The 14″ diameter wheelset is alloy and attaches to the frame with nuts.

We were very impressed with the slightly larger Forme Cubley 18 we were sent to review.
