The holiday season is just around the corner, time to decide on gifts for your loved ones, we think a new bike and bike accessories will be a huge hit!
Bikes are some of the best and most rewarding gifts for kids, because they give independence, build confidence, promote a healthy lifestyle and offer year round FUN. Be it your own kid, a friend’s child, or your siblings’ children, hang on tight as we are about to explore with you a range of bike-related gifts that any kid would absolutely adore!
KIDS BIKES
Do you want a gift that can be positively useful as well as a blast all year long? Not only is it a pleasurable physical activity, but also great for gaining independence and confidence. They can explore, embark on adventures and follow the rhythm of their heart with a new bike!
There are numerous different style bikes to choose from in the kids' bike category. First narrow down the desired riding style your child seeks and ultimately their long term cycling goals. It's common to start with a simple bike without excessive features to build a solid foundation of bike riding skills. Coaster brakes, single speeds, and balance bikes are all examples of user friendly technology popular with young children's bikes.
As their riding improves and they grow, so can their bike's abilities. Upgrading to a bike with gears, higher quality brakes and components designed for the style of riding is the next step as your child's riding improves. Kids' bikes are often split between hybrid/road bike style and mountain bike style.
Here are some options for bicycles that you can gift your young ones:
Little Kids Bikes
- PRE. Learning to balance and ride a bike has never been easier. Put a young rider on a PRE and watch them go! With a lightweight aluminum frame that’s designed with a low standover height, Pre inspires young riders to get rolling. Made with 12-inch wheels and a quick-adjust saddle, it’s the perfect way to begin their cycling adventures.
- 12" Bike. A child's 1st bike is one of life's greatest moments. A lightweight aluminum frame with a low stand-over height, plus 12-inch wheels, will make your child's first bike experience comfortable and confidence-inspiring.

BMX Bikes
It is the perfect ride for your prince and princess with age-appropriate sizes. They can smoothly ride this over bumpy roads and narrow lanes. Inspired by the motocross riding style and dirt jump tracks. From tricks and flips to cruising around town, these BMX bikes are all about action. Lightweight yet rugged frames, BMX bikes are ready to rip, be it the street, dirt, or the park. This bike would be a big jump from tricycles, so it is imperative for you to assure the safety of your children and to accompany them on their initial journeys.
Mountain Bikes
As your youngster gracefully moves into teen-hood, we recommend 26" wheels for riders in the 12-16 year old range. These bikes are on par with adult bikes, yet feature 26" wheels offering better handling for a growing teen. They have strong brakes and can make any adventurous journey enjoyable. Gift this to someone who is willing to up their game in bicycling.
E-Bikes for Kids
Electric bikes for kids are quickly gaining in popularity, and the technology powering them continues to get better and better. Electric bikes are the best for cyclists looking to get more out of their ride. Anyone can benefit from the amplified pedal power. It's still you pushing the pedals, only faster and further.
