Kids' Bike 7 to 9 years old | What to consider before buying

Is your child between 7 and 9 years old and their old bike no longer fits their current height? When buying a new bike with 20-inch wheels, we recommend that you pay attention to the following points:

Quality over price - Good bikes are expensive

Quality has its price, but in the long run, buying a high-quality product is often cheaper and involves less maintenance. We strongly recommend choosing a quality product that is well-made, ensuring it provides years of fun and can make several generations of children happy. A good kids' bike can cost over CHF 500.-. That may seem like a high price at first. However, if the bike lasts for several years, it will ultimately cost significantly less than three cheap models that have to be discarded after only a short time.

Light, lighter, lightest

The weight of a kids' bike is one of the most important quality factors. This is because low weight equals a high fun factor. We recommend that you also choose an aluminum frame for a bike for 7 to 9-year-olds. This makes the bike significantly lighter than models with steel frames and therefore much more agile and maneuverable to ride. This is more fun and saves energy on the first family outings.

With or without gears?

Children between 7 and 9 years old are often already so confident on a bike that gears pay off. That is why most bikes with 20-inch wheels are equipped with gears, just like the ones we are used to on adult bikes. Most models feature a 7-speed derailleur, which makes it possible to tackle routes with inclines with little effort.

Safety with 20-inch kids' bikes

It goes without saying that safety is the top priority, especially for children. Many children can already reach considerable speeds on a 20-inch bike. It is therefore absolutely worth following these rules of conduct:

• Always wear protective gear (helmet and pads)
• Let children ride according to their skill level
• Maintain brakes regularly
• Adjust saddle height correctly
• Only ride on safe roads and areas
