From their very first toddler bike to their first pedal bike and all the way to their teenage rides, bikes are a constant companion in every stage of childhood. A kids' bike isn’t just a way to get around – it’s freedom, adventure, and an important step toward independence. That’s why it’s important to look beyond fun and adventure and focus on safety, ergonomics, and weight too.

Kids Bikes – Sizes & Types Made Simple
Children’s bikes come in all shapes and sizes – from toddlers' balance bikes to 12–14 inch starter models, all the way up to teen bikes and even kids' e-bikes. At BIKE24, you’ll find the right model for every stage of your child's development.
The two most important things to consider when you're buying a bike for kids are the right size and the right features. The right fit keeps your child safe and keeps cycling fun. Choose the right bike size based on your child’s height. Here’s a quick overview of the most common options:
- Balance bikes & scooters: Balance and coordination training for toddlers – the best way to build motor skills before pedals come into play.
- 12–14 inch bikes: Perfect entry-level bikes for kindergarten-age kids. They learn to use pedals and develop a feel for this new way of moving.
- 16–18 inch bikes: Usually reduced to the essentials. Fun is the priority here – these bikes are more for play and roughhousing than for long rides.
- 20–24 inch bikes: Typically for kids around age 8. In Germany, children from 8 years old are allowed to ride on bike paths and roads, so 20–24 inch bikes are suitable for the road and usually equipped with gears.
Buying a Kids Bike – Key Tips for Parents
Buying a child's bike isn’t just about picking the right size. Weight, safety, and ergonomics also play a decisive role. To ensure your child stays safe while riding and still has fun, here’s what you should look for:
- Frame size & wheel size: Match the bike to your child’s height and inseam.
- Weight: The lighter the bike, the easier it is to control.
- Safety equipment: Coaster brake, reflectors, bell, and fenders for all-around protection.
- Brakes: Easy-to-reach levers that need little hand strength.
- Ergonomics: Short cranks, narrow handlebars, and a child-friendly saddle.
- Adjustability: Handlebars and saddle that grow along with your child.
- Brand quality: Durable, reliable bikes with long-term spare parts support.
