What Is a Kids BMX Bike?

A kids BMX bike is essentially a smaller version of a standard BMX, designed for younger riders. They feature genuine BMX geometry to ensure a high-quality product that provides your child with an authentic BMX experience. Like their larger counterparts, kids' BMX bikes are durable, fast, and lightweight, typically made from either steel or aluminum.

Kids BMX bikes are available as complete bikes, meaning they are ready to ride straight out of the box. However, as your child progresses in their BMX journey, they might want to personalize their bike with individual parts.

What Is the Right Size BMX for my Kid?

To maximize their BMX experience, it's crucial that your child has the correctly sized bike. This is usually determined by your child’s height. The taller your child, the larger the model they will need. BMX sizes are generally measured by wheel size and top tube length (the top bar of the frame).

For kids BMX bikes, wheel sizes (diameter) typically come in 12, 14, 16, and 18-inch sizes. Top tubes vary in length, ranging from around 11 to 19 inches. You can find more details about selecting the right size in our BMX Freestyle Size Chart.

What About Balance Bikes?

In our kids BMX section, you'll also find a range of balance bikes. These bikes provide an excellent foundation for your child to develop their balance while riding around a driveway or at the park. They are designed for the youngest riders and can be used by children as young as two.

Remember, when riding a BMX, your child should always wear protective gear. Be sure to check out our selection of Kids BMX Protection.
