Even the littlest ones deserve the same amount of fun and comfort as adult cyclists. Our children's bikes are specially designed to meet the needs of young adventurers.
De Acid 240 Disc is precies wat kids graag willen. Logisch, want op en aan het lichte aluminium frame zit alles dat ook op een grote-mensen-mountainbike zit. Zo verbetert de soepel verende voorvork de controle in het terrein. En komt de 7-speed Shimano-transmissie met een breedbandige 11-34 cassette, waarmee ook kinderbenen overal boven en weer beneden komen. Veilig: de schijfremmen hebben speciale kinderremgrepen. Aandacht voor details, daar gaat het om. Zo staat niets spannende offroad-avonturen meer in de weg.
Our range of children's bikes includes different inch sizes, so you can find the perfect fit of the children's bike for your growing child. Whether you are looking for a small children's bike or a model for older children, we have a wide range of children's bikes to choose from. At CUBE you can go for cycling enthusiasts from 2 years old with a toddler bike! So a bike for young children is also available.
Safety comes first with our children's bicycles
Safety is our top priority, which is why our children's bikes and toddler bikes are equipped with top-quality brakes, including disc brakes on some models. For the littlest ones, there is a coaster brake on the children's bike . This allows children to stop easily and safely with the brake, regardless of the road conditions. The light and durable aluminum frame of our children's bikes (also called alu) ensures a stable and agile ride, while the rims of our high-quality children's bikes ensure the safety of your child. Many of our children's bikes are also equipped with gears.
Children's bikes and toddler bikes for fun and adventure
At CUBE we understand that children's bikes are not just about practicality, but also about fun and adventure. Our children's bikes come in a variety of colours and styles, so your child can choose the children's bike that best suits their personality. Our children's bikes are suitable for both boys and girls. They can therefore be used as both boys' and girls' bikes.

Tips for buying a children's bike or toddler bike
When buying a children's bike , make sure you buy a bike that is the right size. Your child should be able to get on and off without any problems in order to easily go out.
A child's bike that is too big can lead to dangerous situations. Your child will not be able to get off or brake easily, because their feet cannot reach the ground. So pay close attention to this when buying a child's bike. Let your child get used to learning to ride a bike without training wheels at their own pace, by building up from a balance bike to a real bike!
What size children's bicycle does my child need?
Children grow fast. That's why it's important to buy the right size bike for kids or bike for toddlers. Use the tool on the bike page to determine the bike size for your child.
Children's bicycle size - look at the clothing size
The age of your child does not always give a good picture, because one child can be taller than another child of the same age. The height and clothing size of your child are in most cases decisive in choosing a certain children's bike.
Sizes of children's bicycles are indicated in inches; this is the wheel size. Think for example of 18 inch, 16 inch or 12 inch children's bicycles.
A safe children's bicycle for your child
Some children grow very quickly. That is why it is important to regularly check whether your child's bike is still properly adjusted. Make sure that the handlebars and saddle are set to the correct height. The legs should not be completely stretched while pedaling and your child should be able to put his or her foot on the ground without stepping off the saddle.
Saddle height and legroom on children's bicycles
For optimal cycling fun, it is essential that the saddle of the children's bike is at the right height. With balance bikes and also with the first bike with chain drive, children should be able to easily reach the ground with their feet. This helps them when they roll their first meters on two wheels. As soon as your child can roll confidently, the saddle can be placed a little higher. But not too high, the child should preferably be able to reach the ground with the balls of his feet. The free space between the crotch and the bar of the bike depends on the leg length of your child and the shape of the frame. The lower the bar (= top tube), the more space. We recommend at least 3 to 5 centimeters of play space between the top of the bar and the bottom of the crotch. Or in other words: the top tube should be 3 to 5 centimeters shorter than the inside leg length of your child.
Bending the knee on children's bicycles
The bending of the knees is determined by the height of the saddle. This means that a low saddle position - such as with balance and learning bikes where the feet must be able to easily reach the ground - requires a stronger bending of the knees. Children who already have a lot of self-confidence on the bike can better place the saddle higher, preferably so high that the leg is almost fully extended while pedaling. This allows more power to be exerted and reduces fatigue. If your child's knees almost touch the elbows when cycling upright, then it is time for a larger type of children's bike.
Position of the foot on a children's bicycle
As we have already indicated above, children who are learning to ride a bike should be able to reach the ground with their feet. However, once they are able to ride a bike, it is better if they only touch the ground with the balls of their feet. For an effective pedaling movement, the ball of the foot should also lie flat on the pedal of the child's bike.
CUBE Children's bicycle inch sizes
At CUBE you can find inch sizes 12, 16, 18, 20, 24 and 26. Some CUBE children's bicycles are indicated in sizes XXS, XS or S.
Children's bicycle according to wishes for every child
When your son or daughter starts cycling, a child's bike with training wheels can be a solution. With training wheels, you can determine how quickly your child learns to cycle. This is how it works: the higher you set the training wheels, the more balance your child has to maintain. If you notice that your child no longer needs training wheels, then the real work can begin.
