—
From 1 to 3 years. The youngest age group. It includes only tricycles (see "Type"), and the design often includes additional features that ensure safety and allow parents to use the bike as a stroller. Such features include, in particular,
seat belts, a bumper,
a visor(see "Package") and a parent handle (see below).
—
From 2 to 4 years. This group may include all 3 types of bicycles (see "Type"). At the same time, three-wheeled models usually look less like pushchairs and are more designed for independent movement of the child than in the previous group; for two-wheeled models, the presence of side wheels is mandatory (see "Package"). And almost all balance bikes are designed for children's aged 2-4 years.
—
From 3 to 6 years. For children's of this age, a tricycle is no longer interesting, and their physical development allows them to learn to ride on two wheels. Accordingly, this category mainly includes two-wheeled models (see "Type") with the obligatory presence of side wheels in the delivery set (see "Package").
—
From 5 to 8 years. Bicycles for children's of primary school age are very similar to adult models: only two-wheeled machines are included here, and side wheels (see “Equipment”), although they may
...be present, are far from mandatory.
— From 6 to 10 years. Models of the older age category provide the opportunity to ride "like an adult". This category includes bikes with 20-inch wheels. Some models for this age already have a hand brake and some additional functions. However, such bikes must be selected taking into account the child's readiness for independent riding.
— From 8 to 10 years. The age group from 8 to 10 years unites under its wing children's's bicycles with truly "adult" equipment. This includes models on 20-inch wheels with multi-speed transmissions, brake handles on the handlebars (including advanced disc brakes) and other attributes of truly adult bikes, but in a smaller format. In fact, bicycles of this age range are a transitional link between children's's and teenage models.
The age group limits are quite arbitrary, but it is still not recommended to violate them too much. It is important to consider not only the age range specified by the manufacturer, but also the overall level of development of the child. Also note that children's of a certain age can have different heights and builds - when choosing, you should pay attention not only to the age group, but also to the maximum load (see below).Bicycle wheel diameter is traditionally indicated in ". The overall height of the bike directly depends on this parameter, so each age category has its own wheel size - in accordance with the height of the young cyclist. However, cars of the same type and age group may differ in wheel diameter; this is especially pronounced among two-wheeled bicycles. In such cases, it is worth considering the following point: larger wheels behave better on rough roads and allow you to coast for a long time, but they are reluctant to accelerate and require more effort on the pedals; small wheels - on the contrary, they spin without much effort, but they hold speed worse and are more sensitive to pits and potholes.
Tricycles predominantly have a wheel diameter of
10 ", balance bikes -
12 ". In two-wheeled models, there are sizes in
14,
16,
18 and
20 ". Larger diameter wheels are no longer used in children's, but in teenage bicycles (they are listed in our catalog in the section with older bikes).
