Frequently asked questions
What age and height are 12" wheels for?
12" wheels are recommended for children aged 2 to 4, height 90-105 cm. If your child is in this range, the models on this page are a good fit.
I need a kids bike for ages 2-4. Are 12" wheels right?
Yes, for ages 2 to 4, 12" wheels are usually the right choice. Still check height: your child should touch the ground with their toes on the saddle.
When should we move up from 12" wheels?
When your child exceeds 105 cm or no longer reaches the ground comfortably on 12" wheels, it is time for the next size. Do not buy too big: control and safety matter more than how long the bike will last.
What type of bike with 12" wheels should I choose?
For 12" wheels, choose a light frame, safe brakes and stable geometry. If your child already rides trails, MTB models with disc brakes and grippy tyres are an excellent choice.
