If you're looking for a cheap Frog Bike we're here to help!
If you've already been searching, you'll probably realize that there's quite a shortage of new Frog Bikes - particularly in certain sizes.
It seems Frog Bikes have had a real problem with supply since Covid-19 struck, and recent shortages and transport disruptions have made things even worse.
You may even have seen them on the news, explaining away their shortages!
So, being honest, you're going to struggle to get a really cheap deal on a Frog bike, but don't despair - all is not lost!

In a hurry to get a cheap Frog Bike this June?
These are our three top picks for finding Frog Bikes that are in stock at the moment.
Or scroll down further to see each individual Frog Bike by size
For LEASED Frog Bikes:
BIKE CLUB - a subscription to Bike Club gives you a long term monthly lease of a Frog Bike - prices range from £6.99 to £25.49 per month depending on the size and type of bike.
If you don't want to fork out for a brand new, or secondhand bike, leasing one is an ideal alternative and saves you the hassle of selling when the bike is outgrown.
You can subscribe to the Bike Club and get the correct Frog Bike to fit your child now for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.
£5 off NEW Frog Bikes!
TREDZ - Buy any Frog Bike at Tredz and you can get £5 off just by signing up for Tredz newsletter.
Just scroll down to the bottom of their page, sign up and you'll get a voucher code to get £5 off at the checkout.
Cheap SECONDHAND Frog Bikes:
EBay - plenty of secondhand Frog Bikes available!
And if you've got an outgrown Frog Bike sitting at home that's no longer being used, PLEASE, PLEASE sell it on, as there are so many people out there looking for a Frog Bike.
If you don't have the time to do the maintenance, listing and dealing with a buyer, then get a valuation from The Bike Club, who will pick it up from your house, give you the money and then spruce it up to add into their fleet for another child to ride.
Frog 14" Wheel Bikes
Frog 43
The 14" wheel Frog 43 has now been discontinued new, and replaced with the Frog 40. Thankfully it's very popular secondhand.
Buy Used
Frog 16" Wheel Bikes
Frog 18" Wheel Bikes
18" wheel bikes are a good inbetween size if your child is too big for a standard 16" wheel bike, but isn't ready to move onto a large geared bike just yet.
See also: The best 18" wheel kids bikes
The 18" wheel single speed Frog 47 was released in early 2022 as a replacement to the larger Frog 20 Single Speed (see below)
Frog 20" Wheel Bikes
Frog 53 (ages 5-7 years)
The Frog 53 is Frog's new 20" wheel bike. It's designed to fit children with an inside leg of 53cm and longer, and is designed with a long seat post and adjustable handlebars to ensure your child gets maximum growth out of it.
The Frog 53 replaces the two previous 20" wheel bikes Frog used to sell - the Frog 52 and the Frog 55.
Frog 55 (ages 6-7 years)
The Frog 55 was the first 20" wheel bike Frog released, way back in 2012, and was in production through November 2021 when it was replaced with the Frog 53. There are plenty of models out there so expect this bike to be around to be available secondhand for years to come.
Frog 24" Wheel Bikes
Frog 26" Wheel Bikes (ages 10+)
For larger children who need 26" wheels, there are three different frame sizes available, depending on the inside leg measurement of your child.
Frog Road Bikes
Frog have three sizes of kids road bikes. They can be fitted with cyclocross tyres for triathlon and cyclocross racing, or for use as a gravel style bike.
Frog Road 70 (26" wheel)
Buy NewFrog Mountain Bikes (24" & 26")
Frog have 3 mountain bikes but unfortunately, these bikes are rarer than their standard hybrid cousins, so are more difficult to get hold off - at either full or discounted price!
Other places to check for a secondhand Frog Bike
CLICK HERE FOR FROG BIKES ON - PRELOVED
Bike shops which usually stock Frog Bikes and offer home delivery
Whilst Frog Bikes are in incredibly short supply, you may wish to call around some independent bike shops and see if they have any stock remaining.
They won't have any discounts, but if you're desperate for a new Frog Bike then you will have to pay full price and hunt around for somewhere with the size you need.
You can't be too fussy in terms of colour at the current time - sorry!
Places that offer home delivery to check for in-stock Frog Bikes:
The Little Bike Company Leisure Lakes Bikes
Cheapest Frog Bikes - June 2022
There is such a shortage of Frog Bikes at the moment, but here's where we suggest looking:
Places to check if you want a discount on a new Frog Bike
Lease a Frog Bike from The Bike Club and get your first month FREE!
The best place to try and get hold of a cheap Frog Bike at the moment is to sign up for a monthly rental from the Bike Club.
They operate a really great kids bike leasing service, where you pay them a monthly subscription payment, ranging from £6.99 per month for a mini balance bike through to £25.49 per month for the largest Frog Mountain Bike.
In return, they take away all the hassles of having to find a new bike every time your child grows.
HireThe Bike Club is a great idea and a lot of our friends and family use it. Just select the size bike your child needs now, and return it for an upgrade when it's too small.
They have a range of brands and models so if they don't have the size in stock you need you can try a different type of bike for a while and return to Frog if you want to next time around.
You can opt for a new bike or a reUsed bike, and all returned bikes get serviced and send out to the next user, meaning this is a really environmentally friendly model of bike ownership.
It's worth noting that if they have Frog bikes available this June they're quite likely to be reUsed given the overall shortage of Frog bikes.
However, everyone we know who's had a reBike has been really impressed - they get put through the workshop before being sent out again, and as we all know Frog Bikes are built to last you end up with a really good bike, for even less money than if you were renting a brand new one.
If you really want a new bike and Frog's aren't in stock then you can opt for the brand new Forme Bikes, which launched late last year and is a great alternative option to a Frog Bike.
The Bike Club seem to have good stock levels of Forme bikes whereas they have gaps in their stock of Frog Bikes.
If you have an old Frog Bike, Hoy Bike or Islabike that your child has grown out of they will even buy this from you so they can add it to their fleet.
Hire
£5 off every new Frog Bike at Tredz!
Tredz Bikes have a very easy to use website and often have availability of Frog Bikes (although like everywhere else they're restricted as to what colours and sizes are available).
They offer free home delivery and a 365 day returns policy plus interest free finance if you need it.
We regularly use Tredz ourselves and they have a very high Trust Pilot rating.
If you sign up for the Tredz newsletter before you pay (which you can do from the bottom of any page), you will get sent a £5 voucher off your first purchase immediately which you can apply before you checkout
Buy new Frog Bikes via eBay
Another good place to look for a Frog Bike at the moment appears to be eBay - there are a number of independent bike shops who are listing their stock there.
Sadly you won't get a discount on these but this might be your best place to look.
Buy NowSecond hand Frog Bikes
The good news is that Frog bikes are so well built that they will last numerous children, so if you don't want to lease a Frog Bike it's well worth looking for a secondhand option.
We can attest to Frog Bikes longevity as we recently passed a Frog 55 onto its 5th rider in 5 and a half years.

Hi, I followed your link to tredz to look at purchasing the frog 69 mtb for my boy, entered the ‘sprog10’ code and it won’t accept it, any reason why not? Thanks.
Hi Phil – apologies for this and thank you for making me aware. I’ve written to Tredz to ask if there’s a reason why the Mountain Bikes (and it turns out road bikes) are not included in the discount code. I’ve updated the article in the meantime to make our other readers aware of this. Thanks Karen
Phil, just to update you – Tredz have now added Frog Mountain Bikes into their discount code. Regards Karen
Hi,
The tredz discount code doesn’t work. Just a quick heads up. Looking to buy 3 bikes so was worth the discount.
Hi Ian – I’ve just retested the code and it seems to be working for the Frog Bikes I’ve tested, apart from the Road and Mountain Bikes. Was it these you were trying to buy? I’ve written to Tredz to find out whether these can be added in, and in the meantime I’ve updated the article to say the code is not currently valid on these bike. Apologies for the inconvenience. Karen
You say that Frog has forbidden discounting – what evidence do you have of this please as it would be a clear breach of UK competition law.
Hi Ian – apologies – I was slightly over zealous in my wording there and have removed. There are various bike manufacturers who are regularly excluded from the on-line stores discounting (i.e. not included in a 10% off code). In my experience there’s usually only several times a year when you can find discounts on new Frogs across all their retailers. However, when we find discounts on an individual store basis then we do list them. Apologies for the confusion. Karen
You can find second hand frog bikes on Secondbike too.
It’s often better to buy a brand new bike but if you are planning to use it occasionally, you should go for an used bicycle.
