Kids’ bikes have come a long way since the mid-2000s when first Islabikes redefined and redesigned what we thought a child’s bike should be. In 2013, Frog Bikes joined as a key player in the revolution, focussing on designing bikes that fitted the proportions of kids rather than being just scaled down versions of adult bikes.
The 53 is Frog’s smallest 20” wheeled and geared bike for kids with a 50-65cm inseam (typically 5-7 year olds). As it will be for most kids, this was our tester’s first time riding with gears and with wheels this big. How would he get on and how would the Frog 53 stack up against the rest of the best kids’ bikes?
