How to measure your child

We size all our bikes using inside leg length (inseam) rather than relying on age as the determining factor.

This approach is considered the most dependable method for selecting the ideal bike size for a child. Although age and height can provide approximate guidance, they are not as reliable because there is a significant variation in leg length and height among children of the same age.

We recommend taking a bit of time to measure the riders inside leg - it’s really easy to do:

Taking the inseam measurement:

  1. Stand the child barefoot (or in socks) against a wall
  2. Measure from the floor to their groin as high as is comfortable for the child

Alternate method using a book:

  1. Stand the child barefoot (or in socks) against a wall
  2. Place a small book between their legs, as high as is comfortable and against their groin
  3. Ask the child to move away and measure between the top of the book and the floor.
