Trade Up - Trails & Treads

When you buy a kids’ bike with us, you can bring it back within three years and get up to 50% of the bike’s original purchase price in credit toward the purchase of a new one. One of the best parts of our kids trade-up program is that we donate the older bikes to local charities when you upgrade. That way your little one has a fun, comfortable, safe ride that fits, and so does someone else.

What's the right size bike for my child?

Kids’ bikes range in wheel size from 12-26˝. For simplicity’s sake, it’s easy to think about your child’s age when determining which size is best for them. Though the guidelines below can help you determine the right fit for your child.

Ages 3-4

Our 12” wheeled bikes are just what they need to get started on two wheels.

Ages 4-6

16” wheels and training wheels if they need them will get them where they need to go.

Ages 6-8

Whether they’re ready for gears or not, our 20” wheel bikes have them covered.

Ages 8-12

24” and 26” wheels to handle race day or every day.
