The Cube 240 is a great mountain bike for a 7 or 8 year old. Here’s our review
Here at Cycle Sprog we're here to help you find the perfect bike for your child.
We don't sell bikes ourselves - we independently review and recommend bikes (and we do sometimes get a commission if you buy which allows us to keep doing this!).
We only feature quality kids bikes that will last several children, which we've either ridden ourselves or which have been recommended to us by other keen cycling parents.
Our various articles on the best kids bikes for different ages will help you decide which bikes you should be considering for your child and your budget - plus where to buy your final choice from.
We'll also help you through the process of deciding whether to buy a bike (either new or second-hand) or lease one.

If you already know what type of bike you’re looking for, you can go straight to our recommendations for each type of bike:
Kids bikes are sold according to their wheel size (in inches). Small starter bikes (12″ to 18″ tend to come without gears) and 20″ wheels and over you can add in gears to make getting up hills easier.
If you’re not sure what type of geared bike you’re looking for, then we always recommend a good quality hybrid bike.
We’ve selected the best kids bikes in each size to help you find that perfect bike. We’ve included new, secondhand and lease options so all budgets are covered.
