Standover checkLook for standover under about 14.7".
This is a starting point based on common sizing charts — always confirm against the specific bike model’s own size chart, since geometry varies by brand and bike type.
How this result was chosen
- The kids result uses both height and inseam, then adjusts for riding confidence.
- Good starting size with room to fine-tune at the saddle
- 32.0"-19.0" minimum seat-height target
- Either brake style can work, but test reach and stopping control before the first ride.
- Aim for a bike under about 40% of the child’s body weight so starts, stops, and lifting the bike stay manageable.
- Check the actual model’s minimum seat height, not just the wheel size on the box.
- A child should be able to start, stop, and turn the bike without fighting the weight.
