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.
Every youngster wants a bike just like mum or dad's, and that's the inspiration behind the Acid 200 Disc FE. It's got the rugged design inspired by our adult mountain bikes, with 7 easily selected gears and the addition of powerful hydraulic disc brakes. Just like our full-size bikes, then, but with controls designed specifically to fit young, small hands. We also fitted lights so that sunset needn't stop the fun, and snap-on mudguards to help keep things drier and cleaner on damp days. It's everything they need for loads of safe, inspiring two-wheeled fun.Frame descriptionWe don't cut corners on our kids' bikes, which is why you'll find the same high-quality 6061 aluminium tubing here as on our adult range. Strong, light and durable enough for loads of enthusiastic use, the Acid 200 Disc FE's frame features disc mounts front and rear. We included mudguards, lights and a kickstand in the price. And there's also a replaceable derailleur hanger, so that the occasional mishap doesn't write off the entire frame.

A mountain bike is a great choice for a young rider with an adventurous spirit. That's why we kitted the Acid 240 FE out with a full range of accessories, including mudguards, lighting system and kickstand – because you never know where their curiosity will take them next. There's also a Suntour suspension fork for improved comfort and control, and powerful V-brakes with levers designed for small hands. The 7-speed gears are easy to use, and the replaceable derailleur hanger means the occasional knock needn't mean a costly repair. It's all ready for adventure...Frame descriptionBuilt from the same heat-treated 6061 aluminium tubes as our adult bikes, the Acid 240 FE's frame is every bit as tough as a full-size mountain bike, but with the right weight and proportions for a child.

For those times when the road peters out on a family ride, the Nuroad Rookie has the cojones to keep going. With tough, comfortable and grippy 40mm Schwalbe tyres fitted to a pair of CUBE disc wheels as standard, it doesn't care whether you're rolling on tarmac or gravel. The full carbon fork saves weight and adds extra comfort, even for long days in the saddle. Mechanical disc brakes serve up ample stopping power whatever the weather gets up to, and 1x10 gears have the range to make light work of any route. It's got adventure in its DNA, so you can feed their curiosity.Frame descriptionBlending the off-road pedigree of our cyclocross bikes with the agility of our road machines and a hint of mountain bike DNA, the Nuroad Rookie's frame is perfectly proportioned for younger riders. We've not skimped on the details, either. Generous clearances mean there's plenty of room for larger-profile tyres, and rack and mudguard mounts open up a host of options for add-on accessories and extended adventures. There's even a full carbon fork, too, which is a more comfortable option than aluminium.
A bike represents freedom for a young rider. A great bike opens up even more possibilities. For the Acid 260 Disc FE we took our proven junior mountain bike, complete with Suntour suspension fork and powerful disc brakes, and added a full range of accessories – including clip-on mudguards, kickstand and lighting set – as standard to make it even better. With 16 wide-ranging Shimano gears and a tough, lightweight frame, it's ready for anything.Frame descriptionWe take just as much care with our kids' bikes as we do with any other, which is why the Acid 260 Disc FE features the same mechanically formed, double-butted, heat-treated 6061 aluminium tubes as our adult range.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
