Thinking about buying your child a city bike but unsure which to get? We’re here to help, with bike details, sizing, pricing and more!
YOMO 24
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!
There’s also a range of stylish kids bike helmets available in matt and gloss finish and vegan leather chin strap.
YOMO 12
If you like your child to have the latest products, then you’re going to love the fact that YOMO bikes are a brand new quality kids bike brand.
They only launched at the end of 2023, but are designed by a dad with years of experience in the kids bike industry.
We’ve been sent one of their larger pedal bikes to review and we were immediately struck by the attention to detail, and reckon their balance bike, the YOMO 12 balance bike will be a great way to get your little onto two wheels and preparing for the transition to pedalling.
YOMO also do child size bike helmets, with an extra small size for heads 46 – 50cm in circumference.
YOMO 14
YOMO bikes are an exciting new addition to the world of kids bikes. Launching late in 2023 their ambition is to get more children riding quality, lightweight bikes. Their fun design and range of colours will appeal to young children, whilst you can appreciate the lightweight frame, child sized components and attention to detail with the geometry that will make the YOMO 14 an easy and enjoyable first pedal bike.
We’ve been sent a larger sized bike to review and we were really impressed with it, so we’re happy to recommend the range to our readers.
YOMO are also doing a stylish range of kids cycle helmets in both matt and glossy finish and with vegan leather straps.
