Question 1

Is a 20 inch bike suitable for a 10 year old?

Accepted Answer

A twenty inch bicycle may be slightly small for a ten year old. However the best way to tell is to measure the height of the ten year old.

,

A 20 inch bike is suitable for ages 7 to 10 years in age. While adults bikes are sizes based on a riders height, kids bicycles are sized based by age. Here is the age/size chart for kids bikes: Under 2yrs - Balance bike 2-4yrs - 12 inch 4-7yrs - 14-16 inch 7-10yrs - 18-20 inch 10-13yrs - 24 inch 13yrs + - 26, 27.5, and 700c

,

Possibly. Usually a 24 inch bike is recommended for a 10 year old or children who are 4'5" to 4'9". However a 20 inch bike could also be a BMX bike, at which point a BMX bike can be available in sizes that fit just about any height including full-grown adults.

Question 2

What age is a 20 inch bike suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Twenty inch bikes are an important stepping stone for young riders. Depending on rider height, they are suitable for riders from 7 to 11 years of age.

,

A 20 inch bike is suitable for ages 7-10 years in age. While adults bikes are sizes based on a riders height, kids bicycles are sized based by age. Here is the age/size chart for kids bikes: Under 2yrs - Balance bike 2-4yrs - 12 inch 4-7yrs - 14-16 inch 7-10yrs - 18-20 inch 10-13yrs - 24 inch 13yrs + - 26, 27.5, and 700c

,

A 20 inch bike is usually most suitable for children ages 5-7, however the most important thing above age is the height of the child. The most ideal height range for a 20 inch bike is 42 to 52 centimeters.

Question 3

Can a 5 year old ride a 24 inch bike?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, a 24 inch bike will be too large for a five year old rider. However, every child is different and it will depend on the height of the rider.

,

A 24 inch bike is suitable for ages 10-13 years in age. While adults bikes are sizes based on a riders height, kids bicycles are sized based by age. Here is the age/size chart for kids bikes: Under 2yrs - Balance bike 2-4yrs - 12 inch 4-7yrs - 14-16 inch 7-10yrs - 18-20 inch 10-13yrs - 24 inch 13yrs + - 26, 27.5, and 700c

,

Probably not. Usually a 5 year old will need a 16 inch or 18 inch bike. Most likely a five year old will not be tall enough to fit on a 24 in bike.

Question 4

Is a 20 inch bike good for a 5 year old?

Accepted Answer

Most likely a 20 inch bike will be too big for a five year old, but it's possible. A 12 or 16 inch bike will be more suitable. A 20 inch bike is often great for children ages 7-9.

,

Most kids bike sizing charts suggest that someone 4 to 6 years old ride a 16in wheeled bicycle, and those aged 5 to 8 years old look to a 20in bike. Unlike adults who bike sizing goes by height, kids bike sizes go by age, however each bicycle manufacturer will likely have their own sizing chart which should be consulted before purchasing a kid's bike.

,

A 20 inch bike, although a little bit big for many 5 year olds, is a perfect gift for a growing kid. A kid this age can probably fit in a 16" but will grow out of it in a year or two. On the other hand a 20 inch bike will probably last them until they’re 8 years old. So yes, a 20" bike is perfect for 5 year olds
