Kids Bike

The Islabikes Cnoc 16 is a great bike for children starting out on their cycling journey.  It has everything you want from a first bike in terms of child sized components, longevity and is very lightweight (5.6kg).

Islabikes are so well made there will be plenty of Cnoc 16’s available secondhand for a long time.

Mudguards, off-road tyres and a kickstand are available for this bike, and these can still be bought direct from Islabikes who now only trade in spares and accessories.

If you’d rather buy a new bike for your child, we highly recommend these great quality bikes which are as equally well designed as the Cnoc 16, and just as fun to ride.

Woom 3   woom have stepped into the void left by Islabikes. We’ve always been seriously impressed with every one of their bikes we’ve reviewed and they’re built to last.

Woom 3 Automagic – this is our standout 16″ wheel bike as it comes with gearing that works without your child having to do anything. Magic!

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 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.

If your child is ready for their first geared bike for your child you can’t go wrong with the new YOMO 20.   This bike was only released in winter 2023, so is also great if you like to be a bit different to the crowd, but still want the quality associated with other more established premium kids bike brands.

We’ve been sent the YOMO 20 to review and not only were we really impressed with the specification and build quality, our reviewer is really enjoying the riding experience too, which at the end of the day is the most important thing.

YOMO also have a range of stylish kids bike helmets, with leather chin pad and a no-pinch magnetic fastener.
