Children's bicycles refer to bicycles suitable for children aged 4 to 8 to ride, with a maximum seat height of 435mm to 635mm, and are ridden by a driving mechanism acting on the rear wheel. Available in a variety of wheel diameters and styles, with or without balance wheels.
What bikes do children need?
If your child is 1-3 years old, you will definitely need a bicycle or tricycle with auxiliary wheels. If your child is 3 to 5 years old, you can choose a balance bike.
However, if your child is over 5 years old, it is best to buy him a regular bike.
Bikes with auxiliary wheels usually have more wheels in the rear. Suitable for children 1-3 years old.
When can the auxiliary wheel be removed?
When you see your child is not jumping from wheel to wheel very often and your child starts riding in a straight line. The next step is to try giving your child a balance bike.
