- 12/14-inch bikes
- 16-inch bikes
- 20-inch bikes

Afterwards, you can buy a bike online for an in-store pickup or directly in one of our multiple bike stores in the Quebec and Montreal regions.
How to choose the right size bike for kids?
To determine the size of the child's bike needed, you will need to measure the child's height. Then, simply choose the corresponding wheel diameter.
- 80-95 cm (2-3 years): 12-inch bikes (with training wheels and/or balance/push bikes (pedal-less bikes))
- 95-115 cm (4-6 years): 14-inch or 16-inch bikes (with training wheels)
- 115-135 cm (6-8 years): 20-inch bikes (with or without gears)
- 135-150 cm (9-13 years): 24-inch or 26-inch bikes (usually with gears)
