A Guide To Frog Bikes

When it comes to buying your child their first proper bike, or upgrading them to the next size - few brands are as trusted as Frog Bikes. Renowned for their lightweight design, child-specific geometry, and a focus on comfort, style, quality and performance, Frog Bikes are a go-to choice for families who want their kids to enjoy cycling from the very first ride.

At Tweeks Cycles, we stock a comprehensive range of Frog kids’ bikes, including the most popular sizes and models: the 44, 47, 53, 61, and 67. Whether your child is just coming off stabilisers or already flying along cycle paths or trails, there's a Frog bike to fit them perfectly.

Let’s take a closer look at these six key models to help you find the ideal ride for your young cyclist.

 

Why Choose Frog Bikes?

Before diving into the specifics, here’s why Frog stands out in the crowded world of kids' bikes:

  • Lightweight frames: Frog kids bikes are made from high-quality aluminium to reduce the effort needed to ride them, increase the fun factor and performance of the bikes AND ensure they’re built to last.

  • Child-specific geometry: Designed specifically for children’s proportions and strength. They aren’t just shrunk down adult bikes; they’re designed to fit kids perfectly.

  • Adjustable components: Handlebars, saddles, and brakes are all easy to adjust as your child grows. And if you want to pass the bike down to their younger siblings, you can re-adjust to fit them too!

  • Safety first: Frog’s brake levers are designed for small hands, and all models come with reflective tires and accessories.

  • Sustainability: Frog is committed to environmentally friendly practices, and their bikes are built to last and be handed down. Not only that, their packaging (and our own) follow the same principle.

Now you the brand’s biggest plus points, let's have a look over the range!

Sizing Tips

When choosing the right Frog bike, inside leg measurement is more important than age or height. Use a tape measure to get your child’s inside leg (from the floor to the top of their thigh), and match it with the corresponding Frog model:

  • Frog 44 – 44cm

  • Frog 47 – 47cm

  • Frog 53 – 53cm

  • Frog 61 – 61cm

  • Frog 67 – 67cm

  • Frog 72 – 72cm

You may have already spotted the pattern; each model is named after the minimum inseam required—making it easy to choose the right fit!
