Kids Bikes
Here's our recommended brands of kids bikes to suit all ages, budgets and riding styles.
Our kids bike buying checklist will help you choose the best bike for your child.
B'Twin
For a great value kids' bike that won't break the bank, B'Twin is your go-to choice.
Offering affordable, well-designed bikes in a wide range of sizes and styles, B'Twin combines quality with unbeatable value.
YOMO
YOMO bikes are designed for a premium riding experience, combining top-quality materials with sleek design.
Plus, get a free helmet with every bike to keep your child safe and stylish.
Kidvelo
If your child hasn't started to pedal yet, Kidvelo is the perfect choice.
Specialising in balance bikes, they also offer larger models that convert into pedal bikes.
This gives your child the confidence and skills to transition seamlessly, and you enjoy the cost savings of not having to buy twice!
Available in 12" 14" and 18" wheels.
woom
No matter where your child is on their cycling journey, woom have the perfect bike.
From balance bikes and first pedal bikes for younger children to hybrid, mountain and city bikes for more experienced riders, woom delivers high quality and fun at every age.
Ridgeback
Ridgeback have developed a new range of kids bikes, and our reviewers have been fans from their first impressions.
Lightweight and coming in cool new colours, Ridgeback are a great choice for those looking for a solid all-round bike.
Carrera
Halfords sell more bikes than anywhere else in the UK, but you do need to be careful. Quite a lot of Halfords kids bikes are really heavy and poorly made "toy bikes", which can be difficult for your child to ride.
It's the Carrera kids bikes at Halfords that hit the sweet spot between price and performance.
Cube
For older kids and teens looking for mountain biking fun, we highly recommend Cube Bikes.
Their junior range is inspired by their adult MTB's and come in a range of prices to suit novice rides through to more advanced thrill seekers.
Islabikes
Islabikes, the original premium kids' bikes, stopped selling new models in 2023 and are now only available secondhand.
However, they still offer spare parts, so these bikes will last for years to come.
Accessories and essentials
Cycling with kids is about more than just the bike.
Discover our top picks for helmets, clothing, seats, and services to make family rides fun, safe, and hassle-free.
Smallest helmet
If you're looking for the littlest helmet for your Cycle Sprog, the B'Twin Baby Helmet is the smallest we can find.

Kids helmets
From fun toddler helmets to rugged mountain biking helmets for teens, Tredz offers a wide range of styles, sizes, and colours to suit every young rider.

Family cargo bikes
If you're cycling with your kids every day a cargo bike is fun, quick and more environmentally friendly than a car.
Estarli
The Estarli longtail cargo bike has a very powerful motor and easy to use gearing which makes it a good choice if you need some oomph to get up hills or over bridges.

A good value electric longtail cargo bike capable of carrying heavy loads or several children.
Smaller rear wheel for added stability on the road.
