Kids Bikes
Kids bikes from Norco, Trek, Avanti, BYK and Base, from balance bikes through to 24-inch youth bikes, sized properly by the team at Cranks Chatswood.
Getting the size right
Kids bikes are sized by wheel size rather than frame size, and the right fit matters more than age. A bike that's too big is harder to control and less fun. As a rough guide:
- 2–4 years: balance bikes and 12-inch bikes
- 4–6 years: 14 to 16-inch bikes
- 5–8 years: 20-inch bikes
- 7–11 years: 20 to 24-inch bikes
- 10–15 years: 24 to 26-inch and small adult frames
The easiest way to get it right is to bring your child into Cranks Chatswood. We'll check their fit on the bike and set the seat and bars before you leave. Don't forget a helmet: see our kids helmets range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size bike does my child need?
Kids bikes are sized by wheel size and the right fit depends on your child's height and inside leg, not just age. Bring them into Cranks Chatswood and we'll check the fit on the bike.
Should my child start on a balance bike?
Balance bikes are a great way for toddlers to learn steering and balance before pedals, and many kids skip training wheels altogether as a result.
