Choosing the Right Bike

The right bike should be the correct size, lightweight and easy for your child to control.

Wheel size is only a guide, as bikes with the same wheel size can fit differently. Your child should be able to reach the ground comfortably, use the brakes easily and hold the handlebars without stretching.

Weight also matters. A lighter bike is usually easier to balance, steer and start, especially for children who are still learning.
