5 Best 16 Inch Kids Bikes (for Ages 4 to 6)

If your child loves biking (or perhaps YOU love biking), then you want to make sure you are getting them a bike that they can grow their skills on. With all the bikes on the market, however, it can be confusing to know which bike to buy and how they stack up against each other.

To help you out, we’ve tested dozens of 16 inch bikes to help find the very best ones. We’ve rounded up a list of bikes that are truly THE BEST–lightweight, well-designed, and built to withstand abuse.

We bought the specialized for our daughter. It’s a great bike other than the bottom bracket. And they offer a awesome program that once she outgrows it, they give you full price back towards the next one. Then they donate a bike to somebody that needs it. So there you go that’s how you can justify spending the money. Well worth it in my opinion.

These bikes are expensive. Kids outgrow these things in no time and then boom... "daddy I want a bigger bike." Yeah, sure!

Spawn as a runner up??? Spawn bike is dope at 12-13 lbs and good components. Made well for small hands. Good geometry easy to maneuver.

Would love to see something about the best value kids bike out there. I know that if I spend a ton I can get a good bike, but what is he cheapest kids bike out there that is still high quality?

You won’t see me next time. Expensive snob bikes for a 4 to 6 year old.

Why not include a carbon fiber frame bike if your interested in real weight savings. Because a child at 4 yrs of age will get so much more enjoyment out a super light “professional style” bike.

I’m no socialist so if you have that kind of money to spend feel free to do that. But really 300 or 400 dollars for a youth bike. No thanks
