Bike for 5 Year Old

Five-year-olds ride with purpose: to school, the park, a friend's house. They need a bike that keeps up, and our bikes for 5-year-olds lean on 14- and 16-inch wheels for riders 37-48 inches tall, the bridge between preschool trainer and confident pedaler. Many kindergartners are ready to shed training wheels entirely at this age, so a lightweight 16-inch frame, ideally under 13 pounds, with a low standover makes that leap safer. A coaster brake is standard, and some models add a front hand brake to introduce lever pressure. The result is sharper steering, real stamina, and the independent outdoor play every five-year-old craves. Browse our age-five line-up and set them up for miles of confident riding ahead.
