How to Choose the Right Size Bike for Your Child
Choosing the right sized bike is essential to provide an optimum fit for the rider. Our recommended ages provide a guide, but the physical size of your child will determine which bike you should choose.
Measure Their Inside Leg
The inside leg measurement is the most accurate way to guarantee you choose the correct size bike for your child:
1) Stand your child against the wall in the shoes they'll wear to ride with their feet slightly apart and flat on the floor
2) Place a book between their legs
3) Slide the book up the wall until it is makes contact with their crotch
4) Making sure the book is parallel to the floor, mark the wall at this point
5) Measure from that marked point on the wall to the floor
Once you have this measurement, you can then select which bike is most suitable for your child.

HERO Geometry
A comfortable riding position is key both on the flats and the uphills. This translates into a geometry that is optimised to allow a leaned-in position and a narrow Q-factor to cater to children’s narrower hips. HERO's lower handlebar position offers more stability, balance and control making it quicker and easier to learn.

Why choose HERO
Market leading quality & extraordinary value
Our goal was to create beautiful, reliable and great value bikes that spark joy and build confidence. No stone was left unturned in our quest to make the HERO range one of the lightest, highest-quality, and most affordable on the market.
Bikes kids will love to ride
We know parents want the best for their kids. We pored over the details (crank lengths, stand over height, wheel-base, Q-factor, frame geometry and riding position) so you don’t have to. The HEROs are designed for comfort and supreme handling. They also happen to be beautiful to look at – giving children the confidence to ride in style.
Seriously lightweight
A lighter bike is easier to learn on and means your child will be happy to ride further than on a heavier bike. At 8.82kg the HERO is among the lightest 24” bikes in the market. The ‘leaned-in’ geometry makes it easier to pedal uphill than bikes with a more upright geometry, making for a more enjoyable riding experience.
Lifetime warranty
We stand by the top quality of our bikes. This is why we offer a free lifetime warranty on the frame and forks to the original owner for as long as they own the bike. This gives you ultimate peace of mind over their safety, durability and all round value. Visit our 'Warranty Information' page for more details.
"Overall, the HERO is a robust, lightweight and thoughtfully designed bike that makes riding feel effortless for kids and handling easier for parents."
"In a highly competitive market, the HERO really does stand out as a kids’ bike that delivers an exceptionally high spec at a great price. The dimensions are spot on, making it easy for kids to handle and improve their cycling skills."
"HERO is an outstanding first pedal bike. It’s light, beautifully designed and clearly built to last. More importantly, it’s confidence-boosting for children and easy on parents’ backs."
Explore HERO 24"
Perfectly proportioned frame.
A comfortable riding position is key both on the flats and the uphills. This translates into a geometry that is optimised to allow a leaned-in position and a narrow Q-factor to cater to children’s narrower hips. The lower handlebar position offers more stability, balance and control making it quicker and easier to learn.
Child-friendly brakes, bars and grips
We use short-reach, adjustable brake levers to make it easier for children with small hands. We also use narrow child-friendly handlebars and contoured grips for improved handling and control.
Maximising efficiency
Given that so many children learn on balance bikes, they are ready for a comfortable, sportier riding position. Our riding position and crank lengths and gearing are all designed for maximum efficiency as we want children to love their HEROs as much as we loved designing them.
Shifting made easy
The MicroSHIFT Acolyte shifter takes the learning curve out of changing gears. Designed to be as simple and intuitive as possible: index finger makes it harder, thumb makes it easier. Add in a crystal-clear gear indicator, microSHIFT’s signature light yet positive action, and enough gear range to climb any obstacle; its perfect for children using gears for the first time.

This is the second bike we’ve bought for our son (the first being the 14 inch balance bike). The quality is great and it’s been such a smooth transition from the balance to this bike. He’s only 2 and a half and already riding a peddle bike!
