Kids Bike

The Hornit HERO 24 is well worth considering if you’re not really into bike maintenance.

The bike has a belt drive and an internal gear hub rather than the more common bike chain and external derailleur found on kids bike in the UK.

This means there’s less to go wrong, and less oily bits to transfer onto clothing.

The three speed gears make it really easy to change gear – something many children struggle with.

We’ve not reviewed this particular bike, but we have reviewed the smaller Hornit HERO 14 and were very impressed.

Even better news is the HERO 24 is currently reduced and they now offer Klarna 0% which lets you split your purchase into 3 interest-free monthly payments.

We like the Hornit HERO 20 for it’s simplicity.

With just 3 easy to use gears, your child only has to remember uphill, downhill and flat.   Much easier than the 6 plus gears most kids bikes have, and the gentle introduction to changing gear that some kids need.

This bike also has a belt drive rather than a chain.   This means it’s maintenance free so you don’t need to worry about oily or rusty chains, something we know many parents are too busy to deal with!

The lightweight frame means this bike will be easy to manoeuvre – both for your child and you (if you need to get onto roof rack etc).

We’ve reviewed the smaller Hornit HERO 14 and were very impressed.

Hornit offer payment by Klana – allowing 3 monthly installments.

If you’re looking for a first bike for your Cycle Sprog then the woom 2 is an excellent choice as it’s one of the lightest 14″ wheel bikes available.

When we reviewed this bike we were really impressed at how well it performed on the daily school run in all weathers and our tester loved how easy the bike was to ride.

One thing that’s great about the woom 2 is the different coloured brake levers, so you can tell your child to use the green brake and there’s no chance of them getting their left and rights mixed up. Clever!

The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is a great choice of bike if you’re not sure whether your child is quite ready to start pedalling yet. 

Whilst the Rookie 14 is a starter pedal bike in it’s own right, you can also remove the entire pedal / chain mechanism and quickly convert it into a balance bike.

So, you’re essentially getting two bikes for the price of one, saving you the cost of buying a 14″ wheel balance bike to get your child ready to pedal.

We also think this will be a good choice for families with younger siblings coming along behind, as you don’t know whether that child is going to need a pedal bike or a balance bike.

Our reviewer has put the smaller Rookie 12 through it’s paces and were very impressed with the quality of the bike and the design features.

PLEASE NOTE THIS BIKE IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK UNTIL LATE 2024
If you want to be the talk of the town (or at least the playground) then the Hornit HERO 14 is quite possibly the bike for you.  It’s part of the newest range of kids bikes released in August 2021, plus, it’s got a belt drive rather than a traditional bike chain which will help start conversations!

The Hornit HERO is one of the lightest starter bikes around, and with a low inside leg requirement it’s ideal for younger / shorter children who are ready to start pedalling. 

We’ve reviewed the Hornit HERO 14 and were very impressed with its lightweight, good looks and ease of use.

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.
