Kids bikes
Which bike should I choose for my child?

The most important thing when buying a Kids bike is that it fits the size. If the bike is too big, it can be difficult, if not almost impossible, for your child to control the bike. If the child has difficulty controlling his or her bicycle, there is a greater risk of him or her falling over. So for the child to feel comfortable on his kids bike, the right size is extremely important. If your child feels safe on a bicycle, the chance that the kids bicycle will be used is much greater.

If the child has many successful experiences on the bike, the child will have more courage to develop on his kids bike. Children are very different, and it can be difficult to give exact figures on which bike your child should have. However, there is a rule of thumb and a number of guides for which kids bike size you should go for in order to give your child a bike that fits. It is usually children under the age of 10 who have the biggest challenges when it comes to bicycles and the balance on a bicycle.

Therefore, it is recommended that children under 10 years of age get a bicycle where they can have a flat foot on the ground when they are sitting on the kids bicycle. In order to avoid your child falling over on a bicycle, it is therefore important that your child has a bicycle that fits, right from the start. When the child gets his first kids bicycle with pedals, it can be advantageous to buy support wheels for kids bicycles.

When choosing the size of kids bikes, you can start from these measurements, but remember that all children are different and therefore the sizes may vary.
- A child aged 2-4 must have a kids bike size 12".
- A child aged 4-6 must have a kids bike size 16".
- A child aged 5-7 must have a kids bike size 18".
- A child aged 6-8 must have a kids bike size 20".
- A child aged 8-10 must have a kids bike size 24".

Which bike should my child start with?

If your child is to have his first bicycle, the child must first learn how to use a bicycle. When the child has not had a kids bicycle before, the child has for good reasons not yet learned to ride a bicycle. Here it can be a good idea to start with a running bike, which is very similar to the walkers or kids motorbikes that the child has had so far. A running bike is a kids bike without pedals, which the child must push forward with their legs.

On an exercise bike, the child has both feet on the ground, and therefore it is easier for him or her to keep his balance. A running bike is really good for small children, to create successful experiences before the child has to try their hand at a real kids bike. When the child rides an exercise bike, the child's motor skills and balance are trained. A balance bike can be used by children up to around 1.5 years old.

What safety equipment do I need for a kids bike?

When you buy a kids bike for your child, it is important to have the safety in order so that nothing happens to the child. Once the child has become comfortable on his or her bicycle, speed may well pick up, and the child risks injury if he or she falls on the bicycle. The most important equipment for the kids bicycle is a kids bicycle helmet.

Make sure you buy a bike helmet that fits your child well so that it neither tightens nor falls off. If your child is unsure about his bike, you can advantageously add a set of support wheels for kids bikes.
