Kids Beginner Bikes FAQ

  • What age should a kid get their first beginner bike?

    While every child is unique and develops at their own pace, we recommend that children around 3-6 years old can start exploring the world of beginner bikes. At this age, many children have developed sufficient motor skills and co-ordination to begin mastering the art of balance and steering. However, it's crucial to observe your child's individual readiness, considering factors such as their physical development, interest and comfort level. Remember, we also have a range of balance bikes, suitable for toddlers, providing a good kicking off point if they're not quite ready for a proper bike.

  • Are kids beginner bikes safe?

    At Progear, the safety of your child is our top priority, and our Kids Beginner Bikes are meticulously designed to provide a secure and worry-free biking experience. Our Kids Beginner Bikes undergo rigorous testing and adhere to strict safety standards. They feature sturdy frame constructions, reliable braking systems and detachable training wheels. We encourage parents to explore our collection with confidence, knowing that Progear beginner bikes provide a reliable experience that fosters a love for cycling in the safest possible manner.

  • Should I get my child a balance bike or a beginner bike?

    Choosing between a balance bike and a beginner bike is a common consideration for parents, and at Progear, we're here to help you make an informed decision tailored to your child's unique needs. A balance bike, with its absence of pedals, allows children to focus on developing balance and coordination first. This can be an excellent choice for younger toddlers, as they get accustomed to the sensation of being on two wheels. On the other hand, a Kids Beginner Bike, equipped with pedals, training wheels and sometimes gears, is designed for children who are ready to take the next step in their cycling journey. These bikes are ideal for kids around 3 to 6 years old, offering a more comprehensive introduction to riding and preparing them for the transition to a standard bicycle.

  • How do I find the right kids beginner bike size?

    Begin by considering your child's height, as it's a key factor in determining the appropriate bike size.

    To measure, have your child stand with their feet flat on the ground and measure the distance from the ground to their inseam. This measurement corresponds to the bike's seat height, ensuring that when seated, their feet can comfortably touch the ground.

    Additionally, consider the reach to the handlebars. Your child should be able to comfortably grip the handlebars without stretching too far.

    Progear offers a comprehensive sizing guide on our website to assist you further in finding the ideal fit for your child's beginner bike. Remember that as your child grows, their bike size needs may change, and we are here to accommodate every stage of their cycling journey.
