Product News: With the introduction of its new Kids Gravel Bikes, Frog Bikes has underscored its commitment to inspiring young cyclists to embark on adventures off the beaten track. The models are aimed at children aged 5 to approximately 13 and are available in three wheel sizes: 20", 24", and 26". This allows Frog to cater to a wide range of abilities, from younger children getting their first pedal bike to teenagers eager to tackle more technical trails.
The Frog Kids Gravel Bike models are designed to perform well on gravel, forest trails, and even in cyclocross—a true all-rounder for young adventurers. The frames and components are child-friendly and feature shorter cranks, adjusted handlebar widths, and easily accessible brake levers. These kids gravel bikes ensure comfort, control, and safety.
Another key design principle at Frog is robustness and durability: The bikes are built to retain as much of their original value as possible, even after intensive use. Furthermore, more sustainable materials and processes are used in production, for example, through smaller frame and component dimensions, fewer spokes, and special pedals made of rice bran.
Another special feature is the option to convert the bikes for use on smooth surfaces using wheel conversion kits. For example, the 26" gravel model can be equipped with slick tires, essentially transforming it into a fast kids' racing bike—ideal for riding more on the road and less on gravel.

Additional products: Wheel Conversion Kits
To further increase the versatility of the Frog Kids Gravel Bike models, Frog also offers conversion kits. These kits allow you to use slick (“road”) tires instead of chunky gravel tires—an easy way to "switch" the kids' bike when the focus is on more asphalt and less off-road.
With its gravel bike range, Frog Bikes deliberately focuses on modularity, child-friendliness, and sustainability. These models aren't toys, but rather well-designed bikes designed for real adventures – and with conversion options that can grow with your child over many years. For parents looking for a durable, versatile bike for their child, this can certainly be a worthwhile investment.
