How to Choose the Best Kids Mountain Bikes

Do you know how to choose a mountain bike for you child？Are you struggling with it? Parents may do not consider too much if this mountain bike is for themselves, but it is for kids, we should be more careful. If so, you’ve come to the right place, we are going to guide you how to purchase it with consideration of health and safety of your kids. So what should we pay attention to when choosing?

Thick bicycle tire and tire tread

The tire must be thick, because it has a large air capacity and the elasticity of rubber, which can well protect the rim and strip. It can filter the vibration of the ground when riding intensely. It will be relatively comfortable when riding. 

And the tire tread also needs to be thick. The advantage is that it has a large landing area and anti-skid safety. Especially when turning quickly, it can provide good side anti-skid ability. There are also bicycle tires with thick tread, which can also effectively prevent puncture. That's because the large tread pattern will support the tire wall a high distance from the ground, which can effectively prevent the puncture of broken glass and small stones and reduce a lot of trouble. After all, there are few bicycles repaired now. Although the rolling resistance of coarse tread is a little bit, I think it can be ignored when children ride.

Bicycle frame

A steel frame is highly recommended. It's cost-effective. It's inevitable for children to ride without paying attention to bumps. The steel frame is stronger. In addition, bicycles with the same steel frame are much cheaper than bicycles with aluminum frames.

Brake

The brake must be a disc brake, because if it is a disc brake, other places should also be more rigorous, such as the rigidity of the car frame. If the rigidity is not good, the brake seat of the disc brake will deform due to the torque caused by the brake. In addition, the flower drum of the disc brake is much better than the general flower drum in accuracy and strength. Another is to pinch the bicycle brake handle. If it is too astringent, it means that the brake line is not good and the child's strength is limited. Astringent braking will affect the braking distance and effect. Another thing is to see the effect. Generally, you can try riding where you sell bicycles. When you try riding, pinch the brake to see the strength and effect. You can't let the master of the car store adjust it.

Size

Kids bikes are “sized” by the diameter of their wheels. And remember to measure inseam of your kids. The wheel size is ranged from 12 inch to 24 inch. The 24 inch kids mountain bicycle is the biggest size, and the next sizes are for adults.

Screws for seat tube

The screws for adjusting the height of the seat must not be old-fashioned screws, for you have to use a wrench to adjust the height.

Transmission

Now many businesses in the world sell non-variable speed bicycles. Personally speaking, mountain bicycles with transmission is better even though most of the gears are not convenient to operate and most children don't change gears.

It's the 21-speed transmission is recommended, because fewer parts than 21 speed are difficult to match, and children with higher speed can't use it.
