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!

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 Calver is a bike suited to cyclocross, triathlon or bike packing adventures. It features a lightweight, robust alloy frame, a 1 x 9 speed drive train with short reach levers and cable disc brakes for optimal handling in all conditions.

Weather proofed internal cabling and sealed bottom bracket keep the bike running for longer and help maintain the bikes value for when you come to sell on.

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 Specialized Jett 16 is the smallest bike in the Jett range. The bike is designed to be easily configured as your child grows so that they get maximum use out of it, and comes with an online app to key in your child's measurements.

The app tells you which position to put the saddle, handlebars and pedals for the most comfortable ride and you just recheck it every time your child has a growth spurt.

We've reviewed the slightly larger Jett 20 and were very impressed with it's performance in more urban settings, although it's able to handle gentle off road riding too.

The 10" wheel Frog Tadpole Mini is one of the very smallest balance bikes available and it’s suitable for children with an inside leg of just 24cm.

The Frog Tadpole Mini balance bike does have a rear brake which will allow your child to get used to braking when they are ready. However, don't expect a very young child to use them - feet are more than adequate for stopping!

The tyres are pneumatic, which means you can take this bike outside and ride on a variety of surfaces, and there's a quick-release seat post so the bike easily grows with your child.

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 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.

Over the years Frog have been constantly tweaking these bikes to improve the ride - improving things like the tyres and the suspension to better serve their young riders.

This is the attention what you get with a brand that does nothing  but design and build kids bikes.

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.

The Frog Road 67 is drop handlebar bike suitable for a child with a minimum inside leg measurement of 67cm.

When we reviewed the Frog Road 67 our tester really liked having the auxiliary brake levers on the handlebars, as the transition to cycling entirely on the drops takes time.

The handlebars are suitably narrow for kids shoulders and the gear shifters are nice and close to the bars to make changing gear easier for small hands.

There's cantilever brakes and enough clearance for wider tyres should you wish to use it for cyclocross / triathlon.
