Kids Bike

The Frog 69 is no longer available and has been replaced by the Frog 67

If your child has an inside leg of 52cm but doesn’t need a bike with gears, then the Frog 52 Single Speed is a good option. 

You can even take the pedals off and use this bike as a balance bike, and add them back in when the time is ready. 

Note: The Frog 52 Single Speed was discontinued in 2021 so you need to look secondhand for this bike

We’re impressed with the low weight of the Forme Cubley 16 – it tips the scales at just 6.64kg.  It’s so important to have a bike that your child can pick up and manoeuvre without struggling if they’re going to enjoy riding it (plus it’s much easier for you when you’re carrying it around).

Other features on this bike include a size specific crank set for little legs, narrow bars, short reach stem and smaller pedals, plus grippy tyres so you don’t have to worry about your Cycle Sprog riding through puddles!

We’ve reviewed the slightly larger Forme Cubley 18, and we were very impressed. The Cubley 16 is just a slightly smaller version and equally as good.

A fun “Squish” figure and colourful splodges make the Squish 14 an appealing bike for young children starting on their pedalling adventures.

The bike has features such as shortened crank arms, stubby stem and short reach brake levers that are designed to make it easy to ride.

And at just 5.83kg it’s light enough for you to carry home when your sprog has had enough pedalling for one day.

We’ve not tested this particular bike, but you can check out our review of the Squish 18, which is a bigger single speed bike.

The Squish 26 comes with a 13″ frame for those with a minimum inside leg of 67cm, and a 15″ frame for those slightly taller (with a minimum inside leg of 70cm).  The bikes have been designed to appeal to older kids. 

The range of 8 gears should be sufficient for most lumps and bumps and the tyres will be fine for a variety of terrains, although if you’re thinking of mainly doing mountain biking Squish also do a 26″ wheel MTB.

We haven’t reviewed this particular bike, but we have tested two other Squish bikes and found them to be good quality, lightweight bikes that are great fun to ride. [sc name="bike-club-squish-bikes" bike_name="Squish 26" ][/sc] [sc name="bike-club-26-inch-deal" ][/sc]

With the Cube Acid 200 AllRoad they’ve taken their base Acid 200 model and added some accessories that are likely to be needed when riding on roads or (if you’re lucky) lovely safe cycle paths.

So with the Cube Acid 200 AllRoad you get dynamo-powered lights, snap-on mudguards and a kickstand, which make this a more versatile choice of bike for children who are going to be riding their bikes to school during the week and want to explore further at the weekends or holidays.
