16 inch bike FAQs
Can you put stabilisers on a 16 inch bike?
Yes, you can fit stabilisers on most 16-inch bikes. Some come with them included, but if not, you can usually buy a compatible set separately. Just make sure they’re the right fit for the frame and wheels. Quick-release options are handy if you plan to remove them later.
What height is a 16 inch bike good for?
Honestly, it depends a bit, but usually it’s a good fit for kids around 5 to 7 years old. Height-wise, maybe somewhere close to 110 cm, give or take. Best thing to do is get them to sit on the bike and see if they feel comfortable. Every kid’s a bit different, so trying it out is always the safest bet.
