Best 10 Kids Bike Reviews for 2021

One of the greatest joys of being a parent is helping your child learn to ride a bike.
But before you get to the fun part, you’ve got to choose the best bike for them to ride.
It can be quite a daunting decision because there are so many to choose from.
If it’s their first bike, you want one that will be an excellent introduction to cycling.
 
If their cycling experience is a little further along the road, you want a bike that is comfortable, safe, and not too taxing on your bank balance.

There are many brands to choose from, and there’s not enough room on this page to cover them all. But we can share our top picks for 2021.

4. Pedal Pals

Low price at under £100
Seat height and handlebars can be adapted
Highly durable

Single-speed
5. Squish 18
Age range: 4+
Wheel size: 18”
Number of gears: single speed
Weight: 6.96kg
This bike is a good choice for those who are ready to move on from their starter bike.
It comes in at a lower price than the competition and is designed specifically for kids who aren’t quite ready to jump onto a geared 20” wheel bike.
Pros
Well designed
Child-specific chain set that makes it easy to ride
Warranty of three years on the frame and forks

No quick-release seat post clamp, so a tool is needed to raise the seat up and down

6. Hoy Bonaly 20
Age range: 5-8
Wheel size: 20”
Number of gears: 6
Weight: 8kg
As a transition bike, this one comes in at the top of our list. It provides a little bit more of a challenge when your kid is ready to ditch the stabilisers for good.
It has a mountain bike feel about it but isn’t over-complicated.
Pros
Support and control for small riders thanks to the rigid forks and short cranks
Semi-treated tyes make off-road cycling a little easier
Associated with Olympic legend Chris Hoy for added street cred
Cons
Stabilisers not included
Little bit on the pricey side

8. Islabikes Beinn Multi-Purpose Bikes
Age range: 5-10
Wheel size: 20-26”
Number of gears: 7
Weight: 7.9kg

From the moment it comes out of the box, this bike oozes charm and character. It’s bright, well-made, and a dream to ride.
Pros
Quick-release alloy hub wheels
Gear set up makes any terrain easy to ride

Gear change a little tricky for beginners

9. Ridgeback MX14
Age range: 2-13
Wheel size: 20-24”
Number of gears: wide range depending on the model
Weight: 7-12.5kg

This is the starter bike in the MX range and has all the features you’d expect. It’s a durable choice that should last several kids.

A little heavy for small riders
On the small side, which means your kids will grow out of it quickly

This road bike from Frog comes complete with a set of cyclocross tyres and is perfect if your junior rider wants to participate in road racing.
