Kids Bike

We normally wouldn’t recommend a 16″ wheel kids bike this heavy (9.5kg) but the Puky Steel 16 is an exception to the rule.

The very low step-through frame makes this a bicycle worth considering if your child has mobility issues that mean they can’t swing their leg over the crossbar of the majority of kids bikes.

Also, Puky are a renowned German kids bike company, so whilst you’re getting a quite heavy steel frame, this bike is equipped with much better quality components than the vast majority of cheaper heavy steel framed kids bikes with 16″ wheels.

Plus the Puky Steel 16 has Puky’s own impact-resistant paint, meaning the bike will continue to look good, even in the hands of a rough child!

The Cyke 24-8 features a lightweight aluminium frame, Shimano 8-speed gearing.

An integrated lighting system using a Shimano hub dynamo with automatic LED lighting.

SKS mudguards fitted as standard, perfect for the school run.

A low step-thru aluminium frame features on the Puky Skyride.

Intergrated front and rear lights.

7 speed Shimano Nexus hub gears.

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.

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.
