Rough Frame Size Guide

Which Size Bike Does My Child Require?
Children's bikes are generally measured by wheel size, rather than by frame size. Remember children do grow very quickly and you need to take this into consideration when buying a kids bike, However, if you buy a bike that is simply too big for your child, you will compromise your child's safety, and ultimately discourage your child from cycling.

Age of Child	Wheel Size
2 to 4 Years	12 inches
3 to 5 Years	14 inches
4 to 7 Years	16 inches
5 to 8 Years	18 inches
6 to 10 Years	20 inches
10 to 13 Years	24 inches
