Why the right size bicycle is so important:
 Choosing the right size children's bicycle is essential for a positive cycling experience for your child. A well-fitting bicycle provides better control, stability and safety while cycling. And that makes the children enjoy it much more! It is always possible to book a test ride at BikeFlip , so that your child can try out several bikes and we can give advice on the right size.

For a more personalized experience, we recommend our BikeFinder . This smart tool makes bicycle suggestions based on age, height and clothing size.

Useful tips for choosing a children's bicycle:

  • Measure your child's height : Be sure to measure your child's height and use this information when consulting our size chart.
  • Avoid cycling 'as you grow': Be careful with a children's bicycle that is too big. A bicycle that is too big can be dangerous and reduce the enjoyment of cycling. It is better to choose a bicycle where your child can comfortably reach the pedals and handlebars and can sit upright. An advantage of BikeFlip: if your child has outgrown the bike, you can easily flip it for a larger size. See how our children's bicycle subscription works here .
  • Check the minimum saddle height : Make sure to check the minimum saddle height of the bike to make sure your child can touch the ground with his/her feet.

At BikeFlip we think it is important to help parents choose the right children's bicycle. With our tips and useful tools, we are ready to provide your child with the perfect cycling experience.
