Read our reviewSadly Forme Bikes went out of business in March 2023, so new bikes are now hard to find. However the good news is most of their warehouse was bought by Bike Club so kids can continue to ride these great bikes for years to come.

The Forme Cubley 18 is proving a popular choice for kids who aren’t quite ready for a 20″ wheel bike with gears, but have outgrown their smaller bike.
With the Cubley 18 you’re getting a very lightweight bike (it weighs just 7.56kg) so your child will be able to pick it up and move it around themselves (useful for climbing up and down any steps or obstacles on their route).
You’ll notice the difference too when you’re carrying it or trying to put onto a car rack.
Forme have specified this bike to have all the features we’d expect from a quality kids bike.
So you get appropriately sized pedals which are designed to keep pressure off the rider’s heel. This helps your child ride faster and reduces the risk of their foot slipping off the pedal.
The components are junior sized, for example, the cranks are proportioned for a child’s legs and the handlebars and stem have been sized for their arm length.
Kids want to ride their bike all year round so Forme have made the headset (the bit that connects frame and fork) fully internal to fend off foul weather and aid longevity.

Subscribe to the Bike Club and get this great Forme Bike for a low monthly cost. When it gets too small just upgrade it for another one (the bike, not the child!)
