Choosing the best kids' bikes is not always an easy task. Here at Cycle Sprog, we've never been big fans of trying to single out just one child's bike because, what's best for a 3-year-old is miles apart from what suits a 13-year-old mountain biker or a 9-year-old cyclocross racer. Plus, your wallet and how often that bike's likely to be used will play a big part in the decision.
What really gets on our nerves are kids’ bike guides that simply round up a bunch of average, even sub-par bikes where the author hasn't actually tested them and they're only picked because they're bestsellers available from an affiliated retailer that’s paying commission.
So we're here to set things straight. We’ve set out a handpicked list of the best kids' bikes that cater to all ages. And the best part?
Over more than a decade we've personally tested all these brands right here at Cycle Sprog, and we've got the photos to prove it! Some brands we do have affiliate relationships with, but some we don't. It's basically a list of brilliant children's bikes we can vouch for and have been happy for our kids (and yours) to ride.
If you're not sure what to look for, then head to the bottom of the page for a full guide to how to choose the best kids' bike for your child's needs.
If you’re looking to kit out your littlest rider, we've got a full guide to the best balance bikes to help get them rolling on two wheels. And since safety always comes first, we've also got a roundup of the best kids’ bike helmets. And if you’re looking for something more specific for your older child or teenager, don't miss our guide to the best kids’ road bikes.
