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.
This is the bike that all youngsters are going to want – light, strong and equipped with everything they'll need for off-road adventuring with friends and family. Hydraulic disc brakes are powerful and easy to control, with levers specially designed for small hands. The Suntour suspension fork improves comfort and control on rough trails, and the 8-speed, wide-ranging gears are easy to use and give a range that'll make light work of any hill. And every component, from the saddle to the handlebar and grips, is designed to fit smaller humans just right. Off-road adventures are just a few pedal strokes away...Frame descriptionBuilt from the same heat-treated 6061 aluminium tubes as our adult bikes, the Acid 240 Disc's frame is every bit as tough as a full-size mountain bike, but with the right weight and proportions for a child. Disc mounts allow the use of these powerful, safe and easy-to-use brakes. There's a bottle mount for mid-ride refreshment and rack mounts, too. The handling is designed to be both fun and confidence-inspiring. And, because we know accidents can happen, we made the gear hanger easily replaceable so that a knock or crash needn't result in an expensive repair.
Few bikes are more versatile than a mountain bike, and that's as true of this junior rider's version as it is of our adult bikes. For the Acid 200 FE we fitted lights and snap-on mudguards, so it's all set up for any adventure. There's 7 easy-to-use gears and strong V-brakes with levers specially designed for small hands. With its large 34-tooth rear sprocket, there's a little extra help on steep or long uphills. It's all your child needs to build their confidence and riding skills.Frame descriptionWe don't cut corners at CUBE, and we're not just talking about the lights and mudguards that come as standard on the Acid 200 FE. Its frame features the same 6061 aluminium and attention to detail as our adult bikes, so you can be assured of its safety and durability. It's also light and tough, because we used frame tubes designed especially for a young, light rider. There's a replaceable gear hanger in case of accidents, and V-brake bosses front and rear are exactly the same as you might find on mum or dad's bike.
The Acid 160 is the bike to sow the seed of off-road riding in any junior cyclist, and more than rugged enough to withstand the rough and tumble of adventurous exploring. We fitted light but strong V-brakes with levers proportioned for small hands, so your aspiring mountain biker can control their speed easily. The gears are safely tucked out of harm's way, and everything from the handlebar to the saddle and grips is designed to fit a junior rider perfectly. Just add a sense of adventure and watch their confidence grow.Frame descriptionJust like with our adult bikes, the Acid 160 blends the fun of responsive handling with the safety of stable, predictable steering – and the reassurance of having passed through our rigorous in-house testing processes. The lightweight 6061 aluminium frame features rounded edges and corners to help minimise the risk of injury, but it's also more than tough enough to stand up to enthusiastic use.
You can't just stick brakes designed for adult hands on a kid's bike. That's why, for the Numove 240 Disc, we fitted 140mm rotors and child-specific levers for its Tektro hydraulic disc brake system. With a wide range of adjustment and just the right amount of power and modulation for a lighter rider, they're the perfect accompaniment to the Newmen Performance 22 Light wheelset and Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres. Easy-shifting 8-speed gears cover a wide range, and the adjustable stem means it's straightforward to tweak the bike's fit as your child grows. It's the complete package for adventurous youngsters.Frame descriptionHow d'you make a great kid's bike even better? You fit disc brakes, for safer and more controlled stopping. With its flat mount for hydraulic callipers and another for a kickstand, the Numove 240 Disc is all set for adventures of the all-terrain kind. The lightweight aluminium frame and fork are designed for fun, safe handling, and you can rest assured that it's passed our incredibly rigorous in-house safety tests. Bring on the adventure!

Light, tough, adaptable and fun – they're all words that describe the Numove 240 FE. We started with a lightweight aluminium frame and fork, because a light bike is one that's better to ride. Controls like handlebars and brake levers are specifically proportioned to fit smaller hands, so your young rider will always feel in control. The full set of accessories – including luggage carrier, mudguards, lights and kickstand – makes for an adventure-ready bike. And the high-quality Thun bottom bracket – made in Germany – plus Schwalbe tyres and 8-speed gears are indicative of the quality components we've chosen for durability and peace of mind. It's all set for two-wheeled fun!Frame descriptionA light bike is one that's fun, fast and easier to control. That's why we built the Numove 240 FE's frame and matching fork to be tough enough to stand up to enthusiastic use, but light enough to put a grin on your youngster's face. Plus you know it's safe, because it's passed all our in-house testing. With geometry tailored to a young rider's needs and a full set of accessories – including mudguards, carrier, lights and kickstand – included as standard, it's all your child needs to have fun and build their cycling confidence.
The Numove 240 is designed for low weight, because a lighter bike is one that's easier and more fun for your youngster to ride. The svelte aluminium frame and fork are just the start. We chose a lightweight Thun bottom bracket – made in Germany – and grippy but fast-rolling Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres. V-brakes are powerful and easy to use, thanks to levers that are specially designed to fit small hands. Handlebars and grips are also narrower than usual, while the light and fully adjustable CUBE stem means you can easily tweak reach and height as your rider grows and their skills develop. And the 8-speed gears are the finishing touch, giving the confidence and range to keep up on family adventures.Frame descriptionEven kids know that light is fast. That's just one of the reasons we built the Numove 240's frame to be as light as possible, whilst still retaining the strength and durability that a growing child's bike needs in order to be able to withstand the rough and tumble of everyday use. With geometry designed to be both fun and safe and a matching fork that flatters the frame's low weight, it's the ideal base from which to grow your child's skills and confidence.

Small things can make a real difference. It's the reason why the Numove 200 Disc has child-specific brake levers – with a wide adjustment range – and 140mm disc rotors. Those two details ensure that the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes aren't just powerful, but can also be easily controlled by your child's smaller hands. There's an adjustable CUBE stem to make it easy to adjust the height and reach of the handlebars as your child grows. And grippy Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres on Newmen Performance 22 Light wheels are driven by easy-shifting 8-speed gears. Add it all up, and it makes for a safe, fun and versatile all-terrain bike for adventurous youngsters.Frame descriptionWe do like to sweat the details at CUBE, and that applies just as much to our kids' bikes as it does to our adult range. For the Numove 200 Disc we added a flat mount for the discs, and incorporated a kickstand mount for good measure. The lightweight aluminium frame has been meticulously designed to offer just the right blend of low weight, strength and durability to meet the needs of a young, keen rider. With a matching rigid fork and geometry that's designed for lively but safe handling, it's the ideal starting point for your junior cyclist.

The Numove 200 FE takes everything we know about building great, versatile bikes, scaled perfectly to fit younger riders – and with a full set of touring accessories so it's ready for any two-wheeled adventure. With handlebars, grips and brake levers proportioned specifically for smaller hands, it has easy and safe handling. There's an adjustable CUBE stem to help fine-tune the bike's fit as your child grows. Easy-to-use 8-speed gears are similar to the ones on mum or dad's bike. We fitted a luggage rack, mudguards, lights and a kickstand, too. And grippy tyres on lightweight wheels finish things off, for a bike that your child will love.Frame descriptionWe lavish the same care on our kids range as we do on our adult ranges. That's why the Numove 200 FE's lightweight aluminium frame has been carefully designed to have exactly the right balance of strength, durability and low weight to suit a young rider. We fitted a rigid fork to keep the weight savings going, and then added a full set of accessories – including mudguards, luggage carrier, lights and a kickstand – so your youngster is ready for anything.
Details matter, and never more so than for younger riders. That's why, to take just one example, the Numove 200 has narrower diameter handlebars and grips – to better match the size of kids' hands. Light, strong V-brakes are operated by levers that are also designed for shorter fingers, and a fully adjustable CUBE stem makes it easy to adapt both the height and reach of the handlebars for a better fit as your child grows. The 8-speed gears are easy to use and light, grippy tyres on strong, fast-rolling but lightweight wheels finish the package. It is, in every sense, a lightweight version of mum or dad's bike – and your child is going to absolutely love it.Frame descriptionIt might seem like it's the high-end race bikes that get all the attention, but that's not how we work at CUBE.

Taking our inspiration from our range of adult bikes, we created a rugged, lightweight all-terrain bike in miniature. Its front and rear V-brakes – operated by levers designed specifically to suit small hands – are easy to use and have just the right amount of power for slowing and stopping safely. A chain guard keeps the chain safely hidden, and the Schwalbe tyres are just like the ones fitted to mum or dad's bike. The handling is designed to be both fun and safe, and you can rest assured that, like all our bikes, this one has passed our in-house safety tests with flying colours.Frame descriptionYoungsters may be small, but we know they're capable of giving their bikes a really hard time. That's why we've given the Numove 180's frame and fork as much attention as we do our adult frames. The light, strong 6061 aluminium that we use is built into a structure that's easy to ride, but tough enough to withstand plenty of young enthusiasm and energy – and the odd mishap, too. It's every inch a real bike just like the ones we make for grown-ups, but stripped down to the bare essentials.

Learning to ride a bike is a rite of passage for all of us, and a light bike just makes the process a little easier. The Numove 140's specially designed frame and fork is built with low weight in mind, and matched with components – like the CUBE stem and German-made Thun bottom bracket – that are also light and durable. Light wheels are shod with narrow tyres, and we fitted V-brakes front and rear – with levers, handlebars and grips matched to small hands – for their simplicity and ease of use. We haven't forgotten safety, of course, which is why edges are all rounded and the chain is entirely enclosed. And, although it's light, it's also built to be child-tough, so it'll easily stand up to some spirited play as your child's confidence grows.Frame descriptionYour aspiring young rider deserves a bike that's every bit as well designed and made as mum and dad's. That's why the Numove 140's slimline frame is designed from the ground up to be as light as it possibly can be, without sacrificing the strength that any child's bike needs to shrug off the rough and tumble of play and the occasional mishap. With a matching alloy rigid fork and proportions and geometry to flatter a youngster's growing confidence, it's the starter bike you probably wish was available when you were a kid.
The Acid 240 Hybrid Rookie Pro is a real mountain bike, scaled down for smaller riders. From its perfectly proportioned frame to the 19mm-diameter handlebars and shorter cranks, we built it to fit properly. And the attention to detail extends further, with a Suntour suspension fork offering 80mm of travel, easy-shifting Shimano Cues 1x9 gears, grippy Schwalbe 2.1in tyres, powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and even a flat mount kickstand. But the ace up this little bike's sleeve is its lightweight Bosch SX motor and 400Wh battery. Together they provide up to 55Nm of pedalling assistance up to a maximum of 20km/h, which is more than enough to give your youngster the boost they need to keep up with the grown-ups. And that's sure to put a big smile on their face...Frame descriptionFrom its Advanced Internal Cable Routing to its Boost rear axle and UDH gear hanger, the Acid 240 Hybrid Rookie's frame is bursting with exactly the same kind of attention to detail as our adult mountain bikes. The lightweight Bosch SX drive and fixed 400Wh battery sit snugly in the frame, providing up to 55Nm of pedal assistance to a maximum speed of 20km/h, plus full compatibility with the optional 250Wh PowerMore range extender. It's even dropper seatpost ready and SIC 2.0 compatible, for easy fitting of a luggage carrier. And, with the included kickstand, your youngster will never struggle for somewhere to park it.
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.
Popular colours for a children's bike are for example blue, pink, black, green & orange. Your ideal colour is also among them! Discover our collection of children's bikes and give your child the chance to explore the world on two wheels.
At CUBE we understand that kids bikes aren't just about practicality, they're also about fun and adventure.
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.
