Cube is a German bike company, which designs robust bikes in a variety of styles and price points.
Their entry level 20″ wheel offering is a 7 speed bike, the Cube Acid 200, which helps make the transitions to gears easier. 21 or more gears that you get on some kids bikes just confuses things – more to remember and more to go wrong!
Cube realise that kids aren’t always the most careful or thoughtful so features of this bike include a modulator on the front brake to stop them slamming on too quickly, plus an easily replaceable derailleur hanger – the bit that changes the gears that gets damaged when kids drop their bike on the floor gears side down (TOP TIP – teach them to lay their bike down derailleur side upwards!)
We’ve reviewed a number of different Cube kids bikes over the years and have always been impressed with the quality.
