Frog Bikes is a UK based bicycle manufacturer specialising in children’s bicycles. They offer a range of bikes (Balance, First Pedal, Road, Track, Hybrid, MTB) for children between the ages of 1 and 14 [1] [2]. They currently have a selection of around 1,800 retailers worldwide and thriving partnerships which include British, Welsh and USA cycling along with Tour of Norway for kids and Sustrans to name a few [3] [4].
Frog Bikes was founded by Jerry and Shelley Lawson in 2013 when they set out to build lightweight and affordable children’s bicycles. With help from world renown bicycle engineer Dimitris Katsanis and a team of sports scientists at Brunel university they developed child specific frames and componentry[5].
Since 2016, Frog Bikes has manufactured their bikes in a state-of-the-art warehousing facility based in Pontypool Wales [6]. This saw them receive support and funding from the welsh government along with the Queens Award for Enterprise. In more recent times, Frog have won the Manufacture of the Year award at the ‘Made in the UK’ awards.
Frog Ranges
[edit]BALANCE BIKES: The Balance Bike is where a child’s cycling life begins. The Frog Balance Bike is effectively a toddler’s bike without pedals and helps the child to develop the necessary balance to cycle. A great alternative to using training wheels.
FIRST PEDAL BIKES: The Frog First Pedal Bike is the best bike for a child to build confidence. It can also act as a Balance Bike for a taller child by taking off the pedals.
HYBRID BIKES: The Frog Hybrid Bike is the perfect all rounder kids’ bike. It is the ideal multi purpose bike for any child that wants to cycle in multiple disciplines, from forest trails to riding to school.
ROAD BIKES: Our affordable kids’ Road Bikes increase distance and speed with their super lightweight frame. Great for road, cyclocross and triathlon use.
TRACK BIKES: Our aerodynamic teardrop tubes reduce drag which improves speed and performance! These bikes are great for kids looking to get into both track and grass track racing.
MTB BIKES: Our three MTBs are equipped with lockout and compression control suspension forks, that work in unison with the rider, hydraulic disk brakes & stunning colours allowing you to truly Push The Limits.
PTL HYBRID BIKES: Whether on the trails or riding to school, our lightweight hybrid bike lets you ride wherever in style.
