12” kid’s bikes are usually the place to start with little ones who are riding pedals for the first time, however, most balance bikes come equipped with 12” wheels. Typically, a child around 2-3 years old (82-100cm) can ride a 12” bike, some with pedals if they have mastered a balance bike, for those who are used to stabilisers, it may take a few rides to get used to the new bike.
Most 12” wheel kid’s bikes will come equipped with stabilisers. Many children won’t be ready to pedal at this point, so choosing a bike with stabilisers or a balance bike will be the best option. We have bikes available from some great brands like
Specialized,
Cube and
Raleigh meaning you’ll find something that suits.
When buying a bike, check out height guides and bike weight, you’ll want to make sure it will be manageable and will fit correctly.
