The ease of switching bike sizes as kids grow with Frog bikes
- 16 Mar 2025
Every parent knows how quickly kids grow, and with that growth comes the need to update everything from shoes to clothes, and, of course, kids’ bikes! Finding the best bike for growing children can be a challenge, but Frog Bikes has revolutionised the way families approach this issue. Our innovative designs, lightweight frames, and adjustable features make it easier than ever to transition to the next size bike as your child grows.
Lightweight frames for easy handling
One of the key features that set Frog bikes apart from other children's bikes is our lightweight aluminium frames. Unlike many traditional kids’ bikes that can be heavy and cumbersome, Frog bikes are designed to be manageable for young riders. This makes it easier for kids to control their balance and transition to a new size without feeling overwhelmed.
FUN FACT
Award-winning design: Frog Bikes have won numerous awards, including those for innovation in children's bike design, thanks to our lightweight frames and ergonomic features.
Bike sizing made simple with Frog Bikes
Frog Bikes takes the guesswork out of finding the right size for your child. Instead of relying solely on wheel size, we use an inseam-based bike sizing guide to ensure the perfect fit. This child-friendly bike sizing approach helps parents choose the most appropriate bike, reducing the likelihood of an awkward or uncomfortable transition when it’s time to size up. If you’re wondering, “What size bike should I get for my child?” we offer a detailed bike size chart to make the process simple.
Adjustable features for extended use
Frog Bikes are built with adjustability in mind. All models feature adjustable saddles, handlebars, and brake levers, allowing the bike to be fine-tuned to a growing child’s needs. This means that a single bike can last longer before a full upgrade is required, making Frog bikes one of the best long-lasting kids’ bikes available today.

Confidence and comfort for young riders
Switching to a larger bike can be daunting for kids, but we make the process seamless. With ergonomically designed components, responsive braking systems, and optimised geometry for stability, children feel secure and comfortable as they transition to a bigger ride.
FUN FACT
Specialised for kids: Unlike many other bike brands, every Frog bike component is designed with children in mind, from narrower handlebars to custom-sized cranks and pedals.

Tips for selling a used Frog bike
- Clean the bike thoroughly: Give the bike a deep clean, removing any dirt, rust, or grime. A well-maintained bike is more attractive to buyers and can fetch a higher price.
- Take clear photos: Capture clear, high-resolution images from multiple angles, including close-ups of key features like gears, brakes, and tyres. Well-lit photos make a listing stand out.
- Describe the bike accurately: Be honest about the condition, including any wear and tear.
- Highlight features: Mention the lightweight frame, adjustability, and resale demand in your listing.
- Mention recent maintenance or upgrades: If the bike has had a recent Frog Bikes MOT, a tune-up, new tyres, or brake adjustments, mention it in the listing. This reassures buyers that they’re getting a well-kept bike.
- List on popular platforms: Try eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or specialist cycling resale websites.
- Set a competitive price: Research similar listings to determine a fair asking price. Frog bikes hold their value well, so don’t undersell, but remain competitive to attract buyers quickly.
- Offer flexible collection or shipping options: If possible, offer local pickup, delivery, or postage to reach a wider audience. Buyers appreciate the convenience.
- Engage with potential buyers: Respond promptly to enquiries and be open to negotiation. A responsive seller is more likely to close a deal.
Whether you need a lightweight bike for kids, an adjustable bike for growing riders, or a bike that retains its value well, Frog Bikes offers a hassle-free and high-quality cycling experience for young riders.
