What is a kid's bike?
Kids' bikes, also known as children's bikes, are bicycles specifically designed for young riders. They come in various sizes, styles, and configurations to suit children of different ages and riding abilities. Kids' bikes are essential for helping children develop balance, coordination, and confidence in cycling. At Eurocycles, we offer the following types of kids' bikes:
- Balance Bikes: These bikes do not have pedals and are designed to help young children learn balance and steering before transitioning to pedal bikes. Kids push themselves forward with their feet and gradually learn to glide and balance.
- Training Wheels Bikes: These bikes come with additional small wheels attached to the rear, providing stability for kids learning to ride without assistance.
- Pedal Bikes: As children grow older and gain more confidence, they can transition to pedal bikes without training wheels. Pedal bikes for kids often come in various wheel sizes, ranging from 12 inches for toddlers to 24 inches for older kids.
- Future pro bikes: these are bikes designed for teenagers that do not quite fit adults' bikes yet but want to benefit from all their features.
When choosing a kids' bike, consider the following factors:
- Size: Ensure the bike's size is appropriate for your child's height and age. A properly sized bike will be easier to handle and ride.
- Safety Features: Look for bikes with safety features like hand brakes, reflectors, and a chain guard to protect young riders from getting caught in the chain.
- Weight: Choose a lightweight bike, easy for your child to manoeuvre.
- Quality: Invest in a durable and well-built bike to ensure safety and longevity.
- Adjustable Components: Some kids' bikes are fitted with adjustable seats and handlebars to accommodate growing children.
- Fun Design: Select a bike with a design or theme that your child will find exciting, as this can motivate them to ride more often.
We also recommend your child wears a helmet when riding a bike. Our kids' helmets range offers fun and eye-catching designs that ensure your child will be excited to wear it.
Why Buy A Bike For Your Child?
Even if our love of cycling is slightly clouding our judgement, we cannot emphasize enough the benefits of cycling for your kids.
As well as being an instrument of pure and simple fun, riding a bike will be an essential skill that will stay with your child all his life. It improves balance & physical fitness and benefits your child’s development and mental health. Kids that cycle to school have been proven to be more focused.
It also helps establish healthy exercise habits that will stay with them throughout their lives.
As cycling is for everybody and all ages, it is an ideal family activity. If you are running after precious quality time with your kids, we recommend you buy them a bike and go out together.
How To Choose The Right Bike For Your Child?
Buying a kid's bike can be a bit daunting. There are so many brands and styles to choose from; it can be disheartening. To help you choose, we have created a kid's bike buying guide to help you figure out which children's bike is best for your kid. You can also consult our kid's bike size guide to work out what bike size your child needs.
It is primordial that you pick a size that fits your child correctly. It might be tempting to buy a slightly bigger size to get more years out of it. However, if the bike is too big, there is a risk that your child cannot reach the handlebars or operate the brakes, making it dangerous. A bike wrongly sized can ruin your child’s cycling experience and put him off cycling altogether.
If in doubt when choosing your child’s bike, feel free to contact us for advice.
What Is The Difference Between A Kid’s Bike And An Adult Bike?
Where some children might be big enough to go for an adult’s bike, we’d recommend you stick with a bigger kid’s model until your child is at least 12 years old. Kid’s bikes have a simplified gear system, and adult bikes tend to be too complex for children. You might end up having to service the bike more than you’d wish to.
Children's Mountain Bikes
If you have a little adventurer at home, chances are he/she is looking to explore the trails and go off-road. This is why we carry a full selection of mountain bikes for kids from 20" bikes for 5 to 8 years old up to 26" bikes for teenagers.
We also carry a wide range of accessories for your kid's bicycle. From bike stabilisers and helmets to doll baskets and bottles, we have everything to customise their bike and keep them safe.
