Kids Bikes at Eurocycles
Kids' bikes are specially designed bicycles for young riders. These bikes come in various sizes, styles, and features to suit the different stages of a child's development and cycling skills.
At Eurocycles, we are family-focused, and our selection of quality and lightweight children's bikes from renowned brands like Scott, Ridgeback, Bergamont, Raleigh, and Huffy reflects that.
What Size Bike Does Your Child Need?
Kids' bikes are sized based on the wheels' diameter, typically between 12 and 24 inches. The appropriate size for a child depends on their height and inseam measurement. However, a rough guide for sizes is as per below:
- 14-inch bike – 3-5 years
- 16-inch bike – 5-7 years
- 18-inch bike – 6-8 years
- 20-inch bike – 7-9 years
- 24-inch bike – 9-11 years
- 26-inch bike – 11+years

Balance Bikes:
Balance bikes are small bikes without pedals designed to teach young children how to balance and steer before transitioning to a pedal bike. They help kids develop fundamental riding skills and confidence.
Training Wheels:
Some kids' bikes are fitted with training wheels to help beginners learn to ride. These stabilisers can help your child gain balance and confidence, eventually allowing them to ride without support. You can also purchase training wheels to fit a kid's bike that doesn't come with it if you wish.
Single-Speed vs. Geared Bikes:
Many kids' bikes have a single gear, simplifying riding and maintenance for young riders. As children become more experienced, they might graduate to bikes with multiple gears to tackle different terrains.
Safety Features:
Safety features such as reflectors, spoke guards, chain guards, and cushioned handlebar grips are often included on kids' bikes to reduce potential hazards.
Regular maintenance and adjustments such as checking tyre pressure, brake functionality, and overall fit, are essential to ensure the bike remains safe and functional. If you purchase a children's bike from us, you will receive a complimentary basic service within the first six months of your purchase.
