List of Kids bike manufacturers

[MattyK]

Who are the specialist kids bike makers out there? That is, brands that identify themselves as making different products to the "big brands", and/or those that make bikes that claim to be better than the average. I'll set up another thread to discuss whether their virtues are real or imagined.

Specialist kids bike brands
ByK - Australian, range from toddler balance bikes to teens, urban and MTB styles

Islabikes - UK based, not much info in Aus, and don't ship here. balance bikes to adult, MTB urban and road/race

Fourty Bikes - 1 size model for 6-10 y.o. with single and 3-speed variants, and a track drop bar option.



manufacturers who do a "lightweight" range in addition to their generic fare:
Radius Bikes - Neo range claims lighter weight

XDS - Lite range, alloy framed



Feel free to add more and I will update this post if possible.

Puky - very German! No idea about availability/stockists The antithesis of lightweight kids' bikes, these appear to come with everything but a kitchen sink attached.

ByK appear to have added a 3-speed SRAM internal hub gear version of the E-450.
Yet to appear on their website but I have seen one in the flesh.

Frog Bikes - UK based/retailed only though. Interesting design on the smaller ones (small wheel with relatively higher seat than say a ByK), reasonably light, nice short cranks.
