The First Pedal 44 is the first in Frog's new and improved frame range. It is the perfect, great value bike for 4 to 5 year olds with an average inside leg of 44cm
Frog have reduced the weight of this model by using smaller tube diameters and thinner tube walls. The Frog 44 weighs only 6.39kg. Along with this weight saving, they have lowered the bottom bracket to achieve a more ergonomic position on the bike.
One of the biggest temptations is to buy a bike your child will 'grow into'. However, this is likely to have the opposite effect and put your child off bikes and cycling altogether! This new frame has a longer steerer tube which includes a 10mm spacer ontop of the stem. This allows room to move the handlebars into a higher position as they grow.
Another common mistake is to purchase a budget bike but these models are often as heavy as the child and leads to tears and frustration at not being able to cycle. Frog's lightweight bikes are a great confidence booster and can also be used as a balance bike for a taller child by removing the pedals.
