HOW TO CHOOSE A KIDS BIKE?

HOW TO CHOOSE A KIDS BIKE?

Just like adults, young riders need the right bike for the right kind of riding. At Station Ski & Ride, we strongly believe that opting for a quality bike and choosing a model suited to their needs will ensure that their learning and first adventures on two wheels are as positive as possible. Whether it's for family rides, trips to the park, exploring the neighborhood woods, or their first mountain bike ride, we've got what you need. Because we're parents too, and we know what a reliable bike is all about! We offers a diverse range of bikes for kids. From 12" to 27.5"

We understand that purchasing a bike for your child involves a variety of factors, from price to safety considerations. All our children's mountain bikes are built to last, be visible, and withstand the rigors of the terrain, and probably a few falls too! 

When discussing bike sizes, there are some differences between adult and children's bikes. For adults, we generally measure the frame, while for children, we measure the size of the wheels. For kids' bikes, the wheels range from 12 inches to 27.5 inches. Generally, the child's age is a good starting point for determining the right bike size your kid will need. Then, considering their height and also their skill level, you should be able to make a good choice. If your child falls between two sizes, choose the larger size if they are more comfortable and skilled on a bike. And in the case of your kid just starting and being less experienced, we recommend opting for the smaller size.

Setting up your family with the right equipment is the first step for your children to begin to love biking and taking part in the sport with you.  We understand the investment you make into the sport so to help keep your kids in the right product we have an affordable way to keep up with your Child's growing needs. Buy any NEW kids bike and come back within 2 seasons for a store credit of 25% of what you paid to put towards your same child's new equipment. 

Still unsure about which bike to choose or what size to go for? Come in with your child. You will be able to see our different models in person, try out the different sizes, and find the perfect bike for your kid.
