Sadly 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.
If you’re looking for a 20″ wheel city style bike with a step through frame for a relaxed, urban style of cycling then the Forme Hartington 20 is worth a look.
It has on trend “heritage styling” and the step through frame is aluminium which will help keep the weight of the bike down. This is an important consideration for children as they will need to be able to move the bike around – and at over 12kg this bike is heavier than most 20″ wheel kids bikes, which tend to weigh under 10kg. Your child may find this an issue if they’re having to carry the bike up flights of stairs, or up steep hills.
The Hartington 20 has high rise handlebars for a relaxed and upright riding position, easy-reach brakes, none slip pedals and a choice of 7 gears.
