Mountaineer Kodiak 24 inch children’s bike

With a 24 inch children’s bike, the children often move slowly towards the youth and accordingly already have precise ideas, like you has to look new bike. They are also so far from motor skills and comprehension, many situations right to be able to assess. For example, an efficient gear shift is mandatory.

What should be considered before buying?

The age range for 24 inch wheels is relatively wide and depends entirely on the individual development of your child. If your child is very advanced and tall in primary school, you can speak of a starting age of 9 years. For this, however, a height of at least 135 cm should already be reached.

Depending on how tall the child is a few years later, the maximum age is usually 13 years. The child can then grow up to a good 155 cm, until finally a youth or adult bike comes into question. With regard to the stride length, 66 cm should be seen as the minimum, more than 77 cm should not be measured. For the saddle height are at most. 81 cm advisable.

Age: 9-13
Height: 135-157 cm
Inseam: 66-77 cm
Maximum saddle height: 81 cm

Further criteria and equipment of a 24 inch children’s bike

With a 24 inch children’s bike, your child is now also obliged to ride on the road or on a bike path (from 10 years). This absolutely requires roadworthy equipment. As you may have read, this includes:

at least two independent brakes (preferably coaster brake hub + two high-quality rim brakes for front and rear)
screwed and non-slip pedals with two yellow reflectors each
a ringing bell
four yellow spoke reflectors or reflector strips
white headlight and reflector (front)
red taillight and two reflectors, one of which is no longer mandatory but is nevertheless advisable (rear)

In principle, a 24 inch wheel does not differ much from one 20 inch children’s bike. However, as already mentioned at the beginning, you can now definitely rely on a powerful and somewhat more complex gear shift. A 21-speed chain or hub gear is in the most Cases definitely appropriate. After all, the child rides so safely at this age that small or large bike tours can also be undertaken, where a sophisticated gear shift is advantageous.

With this bike size you can do without a closed chain guard. Ultimately, however, this is at your discretion, there are both versions to buy. A high top tube should still be avoided and a slightly sloping one should be used instead. In addition, a handlebar pad is still not to be neglected.

Falls at this age are still not uncommon. Impact protection can help to mitigate or even prevent injuries. Of course, increased security also includes a tight-fitting helmet and a high-quality folding or padlock. And since the child is going to be off-road more often now, fenders are almost essential!
