How to choose and adjust the size of your child's bike?
Age and height are the first criteria when choosing a bike, but it's also good to consider its level of agility. If in doubt or to narrow down your choice, measure your child's inseam to compare their height with the minimum seat height of the bike.
The minimum saddle height is usually indicated on the specifications of the bike and / or on the manufacturer's website. If those measurements are not provided, don't waste your time with this bike!
At BEMOOV, we tell you absolutely all the dimensions of our bikes and even offer you a buying guide:
Why is this so important?
A bike size that is unsuitable for your child's body shape can cause discomfort and fatigue, which will demotivate him/her and prevent him/her from learning to ride under the best conditions.
So don't be tempted to choose a bike that's too big so that the child will be able to use it longer.
Also monitor the physical development and progress of your child, to adapt the size settings of the bike and when it has become too small, to change it in time.
