THE ULTIMATE URBAN BIKE  FOR KIDS TO EXPLORE THE CITY!

FIT: 5-7 year olds with a recommended inseam of 19.3-25.6 inches. See SIZING for more details.

The 20 inch Frog City 53 Bike is the ultimate urban geared bike, suitable for 5 to 7 year olds. This premium children’s city bike is designed for everyday use allowing kids to commute to school or explore the city in comfort and style. It has a lightweight, aluminum step-through frame, weighing just 18.6 lbs. making the bike easy to mount and dismount and handle around town.

With this versatile city bike, kids will enjoy a more upright leisurely riding position, owing to a longer head tube and raised slightly swept handlebars. It is also equipped with 8-speed derailleur gears that provide more range for moderate speeds, and a floating chain glider to prevent clothing from getting stuck and the chain from getting dirty.

This urban kids bike comes with low-resistance Kenda city tires perfect for riding on concrete, full-length mudguards to keep clothes protected, a kickstand so that the bike is easy to park, and a pannier rack, for transporting books and equipment. And, it features Frog's patented cranks, for more efficient pedaling.

BIKE FEATURES

  • Lightweight 20-Inch Geared Bike: Built for easy urban handling with a step-through frame.

  • Patented Frog Cranks: For more effortless pedaling, with reduced distance between pedals to increase efficiency and comfort.
  • Child Specific, Easy-to-Reach Tektro Hand Brakes: Adjustable levers perfect for smaller hands. Better control means improved confidence for young riders.

  • 540mm Riser Handlebar: To ensure a comfortable reach for your child.
  • Kenda City Tires: Low resistance and perfect for paved riding.

BIKE WEIGHT (with Pedals) 18.6 lbs.

* MINIMUM INSEAM measurement for a child who is large enough to ride this bike. Beginner (or timid) riders must reach the ground comfortably and flat footed while straddling the seat, meaning their inseam must be close to the minimum seat height. Experienced (or confident) riders will be more comfortable raising their heels off the ground when straddling the seat. See Kids Bike Sizing Guide.
STANDOVER HEIGHT is measured from the top of the top tube to the ground, passing directly by the front of the chainring.

FITTING YOUR RIDER

Getting your kid on the right size bike is important and easy! All you need is:

  • RIDER INSEAM =  Your child's inseam, measured from the top of the crotch directly to the ground. (This is NOT a pant leg inseam measurement).
  • RIDER EXPERIENCE = Your child's ability, comfort and confidence levels while riding a bike.

With these two pieces of information, you can easily calculate the MINIMUM SEAT HEIGHT your child needs on their new bike.

See our Kids Bike Sizing Guide for more details. And see Choosing the Best Bike for YOUR Child for our comprehensive guide to find your kid's next bike!

If you do have any further questions or concerns about sizing, please contact us and one of our Kids Bike Experts would be happy to help!

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Our "Ride Happy" Guarantee: We want you to love your purchase, but if you are not completely satisfied, we offer hassle-free returns on all orders.

You have 30 days from receiving your order to initiate your return with us:

  • Returns must be in NEW condition with original packaging and product tags.
  • You are responsible for packaging and return shipping. You may purchase a return shipping label from us, which is likely your least expensive option with our discounted rates.
  • Please take your new bike for a "test ride" to make sure it's right for your Rider! Our standard for still being in new condition after a "test ride" is similar to a local bike shop that offers test rides outside their shop. We understand some "dust on the tires," but please keep it new (and hold on to packaging) until you are sure you're keeping it!
  • Your original shipping cost is non-refundable.

If you'd like to return your order, please start here.
