Frog Bikes Tadpole Kids Bike In Spotty

Season:2025

Brand:Frog Bikes

Code:L-FHTA-SPO

The 12-inch balance bike will make riding as easy as walking.

It is essentially a toddler bike without pedals and is designed to introduce toddlers ages 2 to 3 to the world of cycling, allowing them to develop the balance necessary to ride a bicycle. This premium toddler’s bike has a lightweight, sturdy aluminium frame, weighing just 4.17kg, making the bike easy to manoeuvre and easy for parents to carry.

The Tadpole balance bike is a great alternative to training wheels. It comes fully equipped with high-spec age-specific components, designed for comfort and longevity. The toddler-sized saddle with quick-release seat post allows for easy height adjustment as they grow and become more confident, and the Tektro brakes with small, easy-to-reach brake levers, mean better control for mini riders.

It also comes with chunky tyres for maximum stability and grip, and for added security, the bike offers the added benefit of a steering lock, which acts as a safety mechanism to prevent oversteering and serious falls.

Features:

  • Lightweight 12-inch toddler bike that’s easy to manoeuvre & light for parents to carry.
  • Small, easy-to-reach brake levers for tiny hands to brake with confidence.
  • Safety steering lock to prevent oversteering.
  • Free 10-year extended warranty on frames and forks.
  • Top-mounted brake arms to avoid feet catching.
  • Bell included.
  • Suitable for 2 to 3 years with a recommended inside leg of 31cm-41cm.

Sizing Information

Sizing a child for a Frog hybrid bike is an important step in ensuring a comfortable and safe riding experience. Here's a general guide to help you determine the appropriate size for your mini rider:

1. Measure their inseam: Ask your child to stand with their feet slightly apart, then measure the distance from the floor to their crotch using a tape measure. This provides an accurate inseam measurement.
2. Refer to the size chart below. Match your child's inseam measurement with the recommended bike size range provided. Take note of the age and height recommendations too, as they can further guide your decision.
3. Consider their overall height and age: While the inseam measurement is crucial, it's important to consider your child's height and age as well. This ensures a comfortable fit and allows for growth.
4. Test the bike fit: Once you've determined the recommended size, it's helpful to have the child sit on the bike and check for a comfortable riding position. Their feet should be able to touch the ground while sitting on the saddle, and they should have a slight bend in their knees when the pedals are at the lowest point.


Remember, these steps are general guidelines. For precise sizing ideally pop into the shop with your little person and we'll be happy to assist with this, we endeavour to keep all sizes available at all times but give us a quick call beforehand to check.
