Frequently asked questions
What age and height are 26" wheels for?
26" wheels are recommended for children aged 10 to 12, height 135-150 cm. If your child is in this range, the models on this page are a good fit.
I need a kids bike for ages 10-12. Are 26" wheels right?
Yes, for ages 10 to 12, 26" wheels are usually the right choice. Still check height: your child should touch the ground with their toes on the saddle.
When should we move up from 26" wheels?
When your child exceeds 150 cm or no longer reaches the ground comfortably on 26" wheels, it is time for the next size. Do not buy too big: control and safety matter more than how long the bike will last.
What type of bike with 26" wheels should I choose?
For 26" wheels, choose a light frame, safe brakes and stable geometry. If your child already rides trails, MTB models with disc brakes and grippy tyres are an excellent choice.
