Inside Leg

Bike Weight

If you're looking for a first bike for your Cycle Sprog then the woom 2 is an excellent choice as it's one of the lightest 14" wheel bikes available.

When we reviewed this bike we were really impressed at how well it performed on the daily school run in all weathers and our tester loved how easy the bike was to ride.

One thing that’s great about the woom 2 is the different coloured brake levers, so you can tell your child to use the green brake and there’s no chance of them getting their left and rights mixed up. Clever!

Black Mountain PINTO

Price
£399.00
Age Range
2–5 years
Colours
Green Orange Purple Blue
Bike Weight
5.73kg
Warranty
3-years frame and forks; 2-years non-consumable components. Warranty transferable

The Black Mountain PINTO is certainly a clever first bike! It's got a unique "growing frame" that means the bike grows with your child, allowing maximum use.

The PINTO is fitted with 14" wheels, but the sizing means it's designed to replace the need for a 12" and a 14" wheel bike.

Age wise it's designed to fit a tall two and a half year old, or an average 3 year old.

The PINTO can also start out in balance bike mode if your child hasn't quite mastered that stage of learning to ride yet, so you really can get the most out of this one bike.

Kidvelo Rookie 14 pedal

Price
£235.00
Age Range
3–6 years
Inside Leg
40–59cm
Colours
Blue Green Pink Red
Bike Weight
4.7kg
Warranty
Lifetime on frame and fork

The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is a great choice of bike if you're not sure whether your child is quite ready to start pedalling yet. 

Whilst the Rookie 14 is a starter pedal bike in it's own right, you can also remove the entire pedal / chain mechanism and quickly convert it into a balance bike.

So, you're essentially getting two bikes for the price of one, saving you the cost of buying a 14" wheel balance bike to get your child ready to pedal.

We also think this will be a good choice for families with younger siblings coming along behind, as you don't know whether that child is going to need a pedal bike or a balance bike.

Our reviewer has put the smaller Rookie 12 through it's paces and were very impressed with the quality of the bike and the design features.

Inside Leg
40–46cm
Colours
Orange Pink Green
Bike Weight

Warranty
Evans Cycles website says "All products ordered from Evans Cycles come with a full warranty which covers manufacturing faults and defects in workmanship."

The Pinnacle Koa 14 is a great kids bike at the lower cost end of the 14" wheel kids bike price spectrum. The lightweight aluminium frame with aluminium rims avoids this bike being too heavy. This will help your child feel more confident and in control on the bike, making it quite easy to move around.

The Koa 14 features many of the attributes we look for in a quality children's bike. It features proportionately sized, micro-reach brake levers, handlebars and cranks.

Quality bearings in the hubs, cranks and headset make for a smooth ride, and if the reviews on the Evans website can be believed, these are a popular choice for a first pedal bike.

Yellow Green Blue Orange Pink Red White
Bike Weight

2 years - extended to 5 years for frame if you register the bike within 28 days of purchase

Frog's smallest pedal bike is the 14" wheel Frog 40 (Frogs are named after the shortest leg length that the bike suits - in this case 40 cm).

It's a lightweight bike so it's easy for a child to ride, and has all the child-sized components that give parents peace of mind that their child is riding safely.

We've reviewed the earlier version of Frog's 14" wheel bike - the slightly bigger Frog 43 - and it got a thumbs up from our reviewer.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get the Frog 40 for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for a bigger Frog.

BTwin 14

Price
£100.00
Age Range
3–5 years
Rider Height
90–105cm
Colours
Black White Orange Blue Pink
Bike Weight
8.7kg
Warranty

Lifetime on frame, stem, handlebars. Other parts: 2 years

The BTwin 14 is sold exclusively at Decathlon (who are huge in Europe), which probably explains the more continental style "step through" frame design, and the ability to deliver this bike at such a low price.

The frame is steel, which usually means a very heavy bike. However, the style of this one, with the low step over and lack of cross bar helps keep the weight down to 8.7kg.

This is still a lot heavier than the more expensive aluminium framed 14" wheel bikes -  but it's a lot less than the 10kg plus bikes you get elsewhere, and it has "proper" tyres - beware other 14" wheel cheap bikes with foam or plastic tyres.

The very low frame itself will be easy for children to get on and off - especially important for children who would struggle to lift their leg over a higher frame. The braking system is designed specifically for smaller hands.
The bike comes with front and rear lights too, plus the 500 model has mudguards fitted, which the 100 model doesn't.

The stabilisers unscrew easily - although if your child isn't ready to pedal we'd recommend a balance bike instead.

Forme Cubley 14

Rider Height

Lifetime on Frame

The Forme Cubley 14 has all the features that you want when your child is learning to ride so they gain confidence quickly.

Weighing in at just 6.12kg the Cubley 14 is light enough for your child to pick it up and manoeuvre themselves, and not too heavy for you to carry if they suddenly decide they’ve had enough halfway through your ride.

The geometry of this bike has been designed with the youngest of riders in mind, and it comes with a size specific crankset and pedals for little legs, narrow bars, and a short reach stem. The 14″ diameter wheelset is alloy and attaches to the frame with nuts.

We were very impressed with the slightly larger Forme Cubley 18 we were sent to review.

A fun "Squish" figure and colourful splodges make the Squish 14 an appealing bike for young children starting on their pedalling adventures.

The bike has features such as shortened crank arms, stubby stem and short reach brake levers that are designed to make it easy to ride.

And at just 5.83kg it's light enough for you to carry home when your sprog has had enough pedalling for one day.

We've not tested this particular bike, but you can check out our review of the Squish 18, which is a bigger single speed bike.

Wild Bikes are a good choice if you're looking for a lightweight, modern looking kids bike but don't have the budget for one of the really established names.

The Wild 14 features an upright riding position and a supportive saddle for your child to ensure they are comfortable whilst riding.

Wild Bikes have been popular with Cycle Sprog readers over the past few years as you're getting a decently specified bike for a very good price.

The warranty is only for 12 months whereas some of the other bikes on this page come with 5 years, but these other bikes are also significantly more expensive, so you should take that into consideration.

The Carrera Cosmos 14 is Halfords in-house pedal bike and is aimed at ages 4 to 6 years old.

The bike features an aluminium frame, Kenda tyres, child-sized alloy V-brakes and a chain guard to protect clothes and fingers.

This makes it one of the best options if you're looking to buy your kids' bike at Halfords, as it's significantly lighter and better quality than other bikes.

Scott Contessa/Roxter 14

Price
£349.00
Age Range
3–5 years
Rider Height
90–110cm
Colours
Black Pink
Bike Weight
7.4kg
Warranty
Frame - 3 years

The Scott Contessa/Roxter 14 are great kids bikes suitable for young riders aged 3 to 5 years old.

The main thing to realise about the bike is that the rear brake is a coaster brake. This means that your child needs to pedal backwards to stop their bike. This will happen without them having to use the brake lever for the front brake.

Some young children struggle with brake levers and prefer the backpedalling motion, and can learn to use the single brake lever in their own time. However, do remember that they will need to learn to use two brake levers when they move onto the next sized bike.

Whilst the Scott Contessa/Roxter 14 bikes comes with stabilisers we'd recommend a balance bike instead if they're not ready to pedal just yet. However, if your child has additional needs and cannot ride a balance bike, then the Contessa/Roxter is a great option.

YOMO bikes are an exciting new addition to the world of kids bikes.  Launching late in 2023 their ambition is to get more children riding quality, lightweight bikes. Their fun design and range of colours will appeal to young children, whilst you can appreciate the lightweight frame, child sized components and attention to detail with the geometry that will make the YOMO 14 an easy and enjoyable first pedal bike.

We've been sent a larger sized bike to review and we were really impressed with it, so we're happy to recommend the range to our readers.

YOMO are also doing a stylish range of kids cycle helmets in both matt and glossy finish and with vegan leather straps.
