"We are a family business that truly cares about the environment and getting more kids cycling. Our lightweight,
child-specific bikes make it easy and
enjoyable for kids to ride, all whilst promoting a healthy lifestyle!"
In 2013, the founders, Jerry and Shelley, were inspired to create Frog Bikes because of the difficulty of finding good bikes for their own children. They left their corporate careers behind, and set about designing a range of bikes that children love to ride, parents want to buy and stores want to sell.
What makes Frog different? We specialise in creating high quality bikes specifically designed for the comfort and enjoyment of young riders, so that parents know they are getting an excellent product for their children which will hold its value. We offer a full range of children's bikes for every need, from balance to hybrid bikes to specialised MTB, road and even track bikes for cycling enthusiasts and future winners.
Our stores can be proud to sell our range, knowing that we pay attention to detail, use top quality componentry, many of them designed in-house to incorporate child specific anatomy. We lead the market with our designs, plus we give great customer service.
Now with an award-winning factory in Wales, 1800 stockists worldwide and numerous successful partnerships to help us, we promote healthier communities by encouraging more kids and families to ride bikes.
Everything we do revolves around our values of People, Planet, Product and Profit: treading lightly on the planet, treating
everybody with respect, and producing a responsible, sustainable and desirable product. We look for the same values in
our partners.
As a family run business, we put kids at the heart of everything we do. From the child-specific bike geometry to the bright and colourful range, we want to make every child’s journey as easy, comfortable and fun as possible!
The best fit…
Using findings from our independent scientific study and our child-specific bike fitting rig, we have identified the best bike fit for children. As Dr Tom Korff explains “we use an evidence-based approach and we always base the design of our bikes and the selection of our components on scientific data. With that in mind, we have worked with Sport and Exercise Scientists at Brunel University to determine the optimal position of the child on the bike and designed our frames based on this data to ensure that the child can ride comfortably and efficiently.”
There’s a science behind it all...
Together with Brunel University, we have reformed the thinking behind children’s bike design. As the man behind our bike geometry, Dr Tom Korff explains, “our bikes are not scaled down adult bikes, as children are not miniature adults. At Frog, we put the child into the centre and design our bikes around the child’s unique anatomy and his/her unique needs”.
Our journey began with our own kids and this family-friendly ethos still remains an integral part of our business today so we completely understand the needs of a growing child. Features such as adjustable brakes and our handlebar stem add-on provide room for growth whilst shorter crank lengths, scaled down handlebars and easy to reach brake levers help make their journey as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
The journey does not end there...
Our in-house research and development team systematically review and adapt our bikes, making incremental changes to our product and design to ensure we continue to offer a great product.
We want to foster a generation of healthy, active and happy children. To aid us with making cycling more accessible and enable children to learn a lifetime skill, we collaborate with like-minded partners across multiple sectors. This includes suppliers, partners and customers, and especially our independent bike stores that lie at the heart of many communities.
We build positive, long-term relationships with everyone we work with, sourcing responsibly and spending thoughtfully.
So whether you're big or small, established or a start-up, and share a passion for cycling, we’d love to hear from you!

"Under the guidance of our experienced team and with ideal areas to play and learn, the Frog Bikes were a perfect addition to our multi-sports holiday. Our teams show parents basic ideas and tricks to encourage the kids to quickly get the hang of balancing and pedalling the bikes, whilst having fun and taking pride in their achievement.”

“The Schools Bike Fleet Scheme, that uses Frog Bikes, aims to increase the number of children taking part in cycling by embedding it into the school’s curriculum. Some of the children using the Frog Bikes have never ridden a bike before but now have the opportunity to cycle at school.”

Member for Cardiff Council
