Kids Bike

The Islabikes Beinn 26 is a multi purpose kids bike that is equally at home on the school run as bike packing across Europe.

The ability to easily add a pannier rack, mudguards and a bottle cage means you can tailor the bike to suit the type of riding you’re doing.

The Beinn’s come with a frame that is designed to fit a child like a glove, components are proportioned for children’s bodies.

Islabikes had two frame sizes for their Beinn 20 – the large is suitable for slightly taller children who are looking to move onto their first geared bike.

The attention to detail on an Islabike is second to none, which is why these bikes are popular with families who are doing long-distance cycling or the daily commute to school in all weathers.

You can add pannier racks, mudguards, bottle cages – everything a serious young cyclist needs to get the miles in.

The Beinn range was Islabikes’ multi-purpose, do-it-all range. Aimed at those who want to do a bit of everything. The Beinn 20 is split into two sizes, the Beinn 20 Small and Large.

The Beinn 20 Small is intended for ages 5+ and features a lightweight aluminium frame and fork, with micro reach brake levers that operate aluminium V-brakes.

The drivetrain features a 7 speed 11-34T cassette and a 32T aluminium chainring with a plastic double chain guard.

As with all Islabikes, the Beinn 20 Small features proportionately sized crank arms, in this instance 114mm.

The Beinn 20 Small weighs in at 7.4kg.

The Islabikes Cnoc 14 Large is a good secondhand first pedal bike. The attention to detail on an Islabike is second to none – you get over a decade of obsession all packaged up into one bike.

There are two sizes of Islabikes Cnoc 14 so measure your child carefully to make sure you’re getting the correct version. The measurements on this page are for the Cnoc 14 Large – there is the Cnoc 14 Small if your child doesn’t quite fit.

The Woom Now 6 is a unique design, sporting a 26-inch rear wheel coupled with a 20-inch front wheel, to accommodate a built-in front carrier for transporting bags, sports equipment, or whatever else your youngster might need to take with them. 

Chunky tyres make light work of Britain’s pot-holed roads, and the included wide mudguards make it practical year round. It also features a dynamo hub with lights that don’t ever need charging, disc brakes for weather-proof stopping power, and a frame-mounted bag for storing other essentials.

Frog have three 26″ wheel hybrid bikes, and the Frog 67 is the smallest, and is for children with an inside leg measurement of 63cm-76cm.

It’s a versatile bike which rides well on most terrains so is a good choice for anyone who isn’t really specialising in one particular type of cycling.

One word of warning – Frog is very much known as a kids bike brand, so if you have a shorter but older child (particularly an image conscious one in their teens) you may encounter the desire to move onto a more “adult” brand.
