What is a Kid’s BMX Bike?
A Bicycle Motor Cross or BMX is lightweight and has a more petite frame which is an excellent starter bike for juveniles, especially when they are learning the ropes. These bicycles are much easier to get around with when you're training them around the neighbourhood or on short dirt tracks.
BMX Kid’s Bikes are rugged and speedy two-wheelers inspired by motocross motorcycles. Initially designed for racing and dirt jumping, they have become increasingly popular, especially among children.
These are some of the standard features:
- Strong rear hand brakes
- Lightweight frame and parts
- Smaller geometry
- Knobby tires
- 20-inch wheels
- Upright handlebars with crossbars
- Small saddles
- Small saddles
Once kids have mastered balancing on Balance bikes, it's time to level up their training and get them on a BMX Bike for Kid’s.
Choosing the Appropriate BMX Bike for Kids
There are many ways to find the perfect BMX for your youngster. But with this quick guide, you'll have the information to keep you on the right track when picking a bike.
Determine the BMX bike's purpose
Is your kid mainly using it to have a bike for strolling around, or are you training them to do some tricks? The first step to getting a BMX is singling out why you're buying one. After knowing why you're getting one, you can point out the features and characteristics you want.
Kid’s BMX Bikes excel at dirt-track racing; however, more kids are now using them to go to and from school for around-town or short off-road rides.
Types of BMX bikes
Here are the three main types available:
True
The True Bicycle Motor Cross is the original type modelled off motocross bikes minus the engine, and it is very versatile as you can use it for racing and casual riding. The perfect beginner bike without complications or hassle.
Freestyle
A freestyle Kid’s BMX is known for being robust and built for many riding styles, including street courses and skatepark-style ramps. You can get this type of bike when your child has already gotten the basics down and progressively looking for more challenging trails.
Dirt Jumper
The Dirt Jumper or DJ, sometimes called Jump or Jumpers, has combined features of the standard and freestyle bikes. With an approach trail and landing area, this bike can withstand more hardcore environments like kid-built and natural dirt mounds. It can manoeuvre dirt easier, take punishing landings and get bigger airs with less effort.
Shop for their age
Our BMX Bikes for Kids come in various sizes designed according to their age.
The size chart mainly has four main categories:
- Mini has appropriate standover height for shorter riders, more effortless pedalling and manoeuvring, and is great for children between ages 4 to 6 years.
- Junior has a slightly bigger frame than the Mini size and is ideal for children between ages 6 to 9 years.
- Expert has a more extended top tube than the Junior size and is perfect for those between ages 9 to 13 years.
- Pro is a fully-sized frame with adjustable stem length and seat height to accommodate different rider heights, excellent for those above 12 years old.
If the would-be riders are below four years old and you want to get them started on cycling, they are better off with balance bikes and later transition to a BMX.
