Kids Bike

The RASCAL Classic 14 is a premium lightweight first pedal bike for children aged 3 to 4.

At just 5.5kg, it’s impressively light making it easy for little legs to control and comfortable for parents to lift and carry when needed.

Child-friendly brakes mean little hands can slow down and stop with confidence, and a belt drive instead of a traditional chain means there are no greasy fingers to worry about – for you or your child!

The RASCAL Classic 16 is a premium lightweight kids’ bike, tipping the scales at just 5.8kg, making it a brilliant choice for children taking their first steps into pedal cycling or moving up from a 14″ wheel.

The brushed aluminium frame and narrow fork keep the bike sleek and easy for small bodies to handle, while the child-friendly brakes help build confidence from the very first ride.

A belt drive system rather than a traditional chain means no greasy hands – a small but very welcome bonus for parents!

The RASCAL Classic 20 is a premium, lightweight bike designed for children ready to explore on 20-inch wheels.

At just 7.8kg, this model is part of a new range of bikes that focuses on high-quality components and ease of use for young riders.

The lightweight frame makes it an excellent choice for every day cycling, whether that is riding to school or enjoying family trips on local paths and tracks.

The Bonaly range is definitely a subscriber to the philosophy of ‘keeping it simple’, with its rigid fork, low centre of gravity, and of course, lightweight.  It’s technically a mountain bike, but with its rigid forks, it’s suited to mixed terrain (although probably not the best choice if you’re doing lots of on-road riding).

Hoy upgraded the Bonaly range in 2019 to make it lighter and improve some of the design features. It has a fresh, modern look with a lower spoke count and a redesigned frame. We haven’t tested out this particular bike, but have been impressed with the smaller Bonaly 20 we’ve reviewed.

One of the appeals of this bike will be its disc brakes – the Shimano RT200 hydraulic discs with RT26 160mm rotors mean this bike looks and feels like a grown up bike – but with the correctly sized components for a younger rider.

The 9 gears come via a 32 toothed front chainring matched up to a Sunrace M90 9 speed 11-34T cassette, with the power transferred to ground through Kenda Small Block 8 tyres.

The Hoy Bonaly 20 is the smallest bike with gears in the range created by the Olympic cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy.

With grippy Kenda small block tyres, the Bonaly is equally at home on road or trail.

Our 7-year-old reviewed really enjoyed riding this bike – it was easy for her to lift up and carry when needed, plus she found the gears easy to operate. Despite riding it regularly on the school run as well as at the weekend the bike remained in pristine condition. You can read the full review of the Hoy Bonaly 20 kids bike here.

The Bonaly 24 kids bike is a borderline hybrid/mountain bike, with gearing that is designed to get up steep hills!  This means the Bonaly 24 would be a good choice for children who are likely to be doing quite a lot of riding in hilly areas (either on or off road). 

It’s a really lightweight bike and doesn’t have the added weight and complications that a suspension fork brings on traditional mountain bikes.
