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 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.

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.

The Specialized Hotwalk balance bike has a very low frame, making it easy for young children to clamber on and off of it, regardless of what they're wearing, or how long their legs are.

There's a little ledge for putting feet on when scooting along and picking up speed, and the frame is lightweight aluminium making it reasonably easy to carry once they've had enough and you're carrying home!

The low standover height of the Specialized Jett 24 means your child can get onto this bike sooner than many other 24" bikes and there's an extra hole for the pedals on the crank meaning you can extend the use of this bike as your child's legs grow.

It also has handy markings on the seat post and handlebars making adjusting the bike easy as your child grows.  To help, Specialized also provide an online Bike Fit tool - you simply input your child's measurements and they will tell you how to adjust the bike to fit.

The Pinnacle Koto 16 is a good value option if you're looking for a decent 16" wheel kids bike without the higher price tag of some of the more premium brands.

The aluminium frame with aluminium rims helps to keep this bike reasonably light, meaning it will be much easier for your 4 or 5 year old child to manoeuvre than a 16 inch wheel bike several kilos heavier.

Quality bearings in the hubs, cranks and headset make for a smooth ride.

Whilst the bike comes fitted with stabilisers, you may what to read this article about whether stabilisers are a good idea before deciding whether to fit them.

The Pinnacle Koto 16 makes a good secondhand choice - remember we always recommend buying a good quality used 16" wheel kids bike bike cheaply, than a cheap, poor quality new bike (which won't be anywhere as much fun to ride).

The Frog 78 is the largest of Frog's three 26" wheel bikes, and is an all round bike suitable for children (or smaller adults!) with a minimum inside leg of 78cm.   

The handlebars can be adjusted within a 54mm range and there's a quick release seat post that makes adjusting the saddle height easy to do. Your kid should hopefully therefore get a decent amount of time on this bike, but some kids do grow very rapidly at this age. 

It's comforting therefore to know the Frog Bikes really hold their value, so if you keep it well maintained you should be able to sell it on to fund the next bike.
