The Perfect In-Betweener!

Making the leap from a 16" wheel bike to a 20" wheel bike can be a big step for many kids. Comfort and confidence are crucial for a positive riding experience, and that's where our 18" Squish comes in to save the day.

 

Ideal Transition Bike

The 18" Squish is designed to bridge the gap perfectly between smaller and larger bikes, providing a smooth and enjoyable transition. It’s sized just right for kids who aren't quite ready for the jump to a 20" bike but are ready for a bit more adventure. With a similar spec to its smaller siblings, this bike keeps things simple—no gears to worry about—so your child can focus on building their skills and having fun.

The 18" wheels and 9.5" frame make it an ideal choice for children aged 4 and up, and its lightweight design—just 6.96kg—means it’s easy for little ones to handle while still being sturdy enough for a great ride. Whether they’re moving up from a smaller bike or just ready for a new challenge, the 18" Squish offers the perfect blend of comfort and fun.
