Imagine this:

Your child rides to school in the morning, zooms down the park trail in the afternoon, and joins you for a family countryside adventure on the weekend—all on the same bike. That’s the magic of a Frog Hybrid bike - they eliminate the need for multiple bikes for different uses.

Hybrid bikes are the ultimate all-rounders, built for adventure, versatility, and real-world everyday use. Whether your child is weaving through urban streets, taking on forest paths, riding over gravel, or powering through puddles, a hybrid handles it all with ease. They combine speed and efficiency with strength and control, creating a ride that’s ready for anything, anywhere.

And when it comes to choosing the right hybrid, Frog Bikes leads the way.

At Frog, we believe children deserve more than just “mini versions” of grown-up bikes. That’s why every Frog bike is engineered from the ground up, specifically for young riders. Every angle, every measurement, and every feature is crafted to match a child’s proportions, skill level, and riding style—empowering them to feel confident, comfortable, and in control from day one.

Frog Hybrid frames are built with heat-treated aluminium alloy - in other words they’re strong, durable, and super lightweight. This makes them easy for kids to handle, push, pick up, and ride for longer distances without fatigue.

Children aren’t just smaller adults, they move differently, hold handlebars differently, and need bikes that work with their bodies. That’s why every Frog Hybrid includes:

• Shorter crank arms for efficient pedalling
• Narrower handlebars for better control
• Slim grips for small hands
• Easy-reach Tektro brakes for quick, confident stopping
• The result? A bike that feels right, rides right, and builds skill without fear.

Learning gears can be intimidating, but not with Frog.

Frog bikes feature youth-specific 8-speed gear shifters with short lever travel and ultraslick gear cables, making it effortless for kids to shift up and down, even while riding.

Perfect for hills, trails, or that sneaky shortcut home!

We believe that building great bikes for kids shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet they’ll inherit. That’s why sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Frog.

While not every model is fully there yet, we’re actively working to increase the number of eco-conscious features across our entire range.

Some of our hybrid bikes, such as the Frog 53, now includes a frame made from up to 25% recycled aluminium and already feature:

• Partially recycled aluminium frames
• Eco-friendly rice husk pedals, cutting plastic use by 50%

With adjustable components, such as handlebars and a quick-release child-specific saddle, they’re built to grow with your child and to be handed down with pride - ride after ride, sibling after sibling.

And that’s just the beginning.

Our goal is to expand these features across the bike range - making every Frog Hybrid as sustainable as it is safe, durable, and fun to ride. Because the future of cycling is green—and we’re proud to be pedalling in that direction.

At Frog, safety isn’t a feature—it’s a foundation. That’s why every bike undergoes rigorous ISO, BSI, EN, and ASTM testing, meeting (and often exceeding) the same standards required for adult bikes. You can trust that each Hybrid Hero is secure, stable, and road-ready—whether your child is riding to school or exploring forest trails.

But we know safety and performance aren’t everything, practicality matters too, especially for busy families.

That’s why our hybrid bikes come fully equipped for everyday adventures, with:

Full-length mudguards to keep clothes clean on wet rides

Mounting points for a pannier rack, perfect for carrying school books, PE kits, snacks—or even a favourite soft toy

A bell included as standard, to help kids learn safe cycling habits from day one

Frog Hybrid bikes are more than just a means of getting from A to B. They’re a companion for childhood— equipped with Kenda small block eight tyres for maximum stability and grip, making them ready for spontaneous races, muddy detours, wildlife discoveries, and big dreams.

Whether your child is just starting out with gears or already planning weekend bikepacking adventures, a Frog Hybrid is the perfect ride to grow up with.

"I first purchased my son a Frog bike when he was 4 years old... He’s now on his third Frog bike with the Frog 61, lightweight even with the larger size and easy to use child-friendly gears." 

 

“We purchased the Hybrid 67 in neon green, it's incredibly lightweight, and the colour is beautiful and vibrant. We look forward to purchasing another bike from Frog, but this time for our daughter :)” 

Before pedals come balance skills and the Tadpole 12” balance bike is where it all begins.

This isn’t just a cute little balance bike for toddlers, it's a secret weapon for learning to ride. The Tadpole helps little ones develop balance and coordination from the get-go, so by the time they’re ready for pedals, they’ve already nailed the trickiest part. And since there are no stabilisers or clunky training wheels in sight, they can focus purely on building their confidence.

• Light as a feather: The lightweight frame is easy for toddlers to push, glide, and even carry (or for parents to carry when energy runs out!).
• Sized just right: With an adjustable seat and handlebars, the Tadpole grows with your child, because we all know toddlers don’t stay one size for long.
• Brakes made for tiny hands: Tektro child-friendly brakes help kids learn how to stop safely, even at a gentle roll.
• Packed with personality: Available in a rainbow of colours and three sizes (Mini, Regular, and Plus) based on your child’s inside leg measurements, so you can find the perfect fit and style. The three balance bikes from Frog are perfect for young kids with an inside leg measurement between 24–47cm. Find out more here…

1. Encourages balance and coordination
2. Makes the transition to pedal bikes smoother
3. No need for stabilisers
4. Durable, quality construction (but not heavy!)

Parent Tip: Many children go straight from a Tadpole to a pedal bike without ever using stabilisers. It’s that effective.

Your little one has mastered the art of balance, now they’re ready for their first pedal! The Frog 38 is our newest and smallest 14” pedal bike (which has now replaced the Frog 40), created for children with an inside leg of 36-41cm. If your child is 3-4 years old and itching to ride “like the big kids,” this is your go-to kids’ bike.

• Built just for kids: Every part of the Frog 38 is made with small riders in mind, from the crank length to the brake lever reach.
• Scientifically designed: Our patented FrogFit Technology, developed with experts at Brunel University, ensures the perfect ergonomic fit.

2. Child-specific components = better control
3. Low centre of gravity for easy balancing
4. 10 year warranty on frame and forks for peace of mind

Parent Tip: The Frog 38 is perfect for kids coming off a balance bike—it’s small, sturdy, and gives them instant confidence.

As your child grows in height and confidence, it’s time to level up. The Frog 44 16” kids’ bike is the natural next step, designed for children with an inside leg of 40-53cm and ready for more independent riding.

Whether they’re zipping down the pavement or exploring the local park, the Frog 44 offers a stable, supportive ride that helps kids go further and feel prouder every time.

• Still lightweight (6.39kg), so your child can handle it with ease.
• Child-specific build for better posture, control, and comfort.

Parent Tip:  Both, the Frog 38 and Frog 44, can be used as a balance bike by simply removing the pedals. Why not try it if your kid is not ready to cycle just yet.

Balance bikes are an excellent first step in a child’s cycling journey. These pedal-free bikes help young riders develop balance and coordination without the need for stabilisers. Most toddlers can start using a balance bike as soon as they can walk confidently, usually around 18 months to 2 years old.

Benefits of balance bikes:

• Helps develop balance naturally
• Builds confidence and independence
• Lightweight and easy to handle
• Makes transitioning to a pedal bike smoother

Once a child is comfortable balancing and steering on a balance bike, they may be ready to transition to a first pedal bike. Typically, kids aged 3 to 6 years are ready to make this leap, especially if they have practised on a balance bike. To find your kids' ideal first bike from Frog Bikes – check out our fitting guide and measure your kid's leg inseam to find out which first pedal is the right choice for your young beginner. 

Signs your child is ready for a first pedal bike:

• Can balance and glide comfortably on a balance bike
• Shows an interest in pedalling
• Has the strength to push down on pedals
• Can control their steering and braking
• Can overcome their fears of cycling

Some parents opt for stabilisers at this stage, but they aren’t necessary, especially for kids transitioning from a balance bike, as they’ve already learned how to balance - the core skill of cycling.

By the time children reach 6 to 10 years old, most will have the coordination, confidence, and motor skills needed to ride a hybrid bike for example independently. At this stage, they can refine their cycling technique, practice longer rides, and even learn essential road safety skills. Perhaps by now, your child has found their passion for cycling and may be interested in learning to roadbike or mountainbike. Support your child’s outdoor hobbies where you can and embrace their potential. 

Encouraging independent cycling

• Practice in safe, open spaces like parks or quiet streets
• Teach basic road safety and hand signals
• Gradually introduce them to more challenging tasks on their bike through fun games and activities 

As soon as your child is a coordinated and confident young cyclist - they’re ready for more advanced cycling, including family rides, off-road trails, and even cycling to school. Encouraging regular riding at this age helps develop lifelong healthy habits and confidence on the road.

Tips for family cycling adventures

• Plan scenic, safe routes to keep rides enjoyable
• They can join a cycling club
• Equip kids with helmets and explain the importance of bike gears and what gear to wear
• Teach them how to check their bike for safety before riding
• Encourage regular practice to build endurance and skills and family bonding
