A 20-inch bicycle often becomes a child’s first “real” bike – already similar to an adult’s, with a gear system, just in a smaller size.

Who are 20-inch bikes for?
These bikes are designed for children aged 5–8 years with a height of about 115–130 cm. Unlike smaller models, they often come equipped with a gear system (6–7 gears), allowing the child to adapt their speed to the terrain: easily climb hills or reach higher speeds on flat stretches.
In Velonova’s range, you’ll find models suited to every type of adventure. Specialized Jett is a particularly popular model thanks to its lightweight frame and adjustable components, allowing the bike to grow with the child. If you’re looking for a cleaner and lower-maintenance option, consider the Early Rider Belter with a belt drive instead of a chain. If your child already enjoys riding more aggressively, Specialized P.Series or Early Rider Seeker will be perfect – these models feature wider tyres and a sturdy frame for added stability off-road, on forest trails and in BMX parks.
Yes, most 20-inch models already have gears. Children, especially those who regularly ride on different surfaces, usually learn the gear-shifting logic very quickly.
The best choice depends solely on your child’s interests and where you spend most of your time. A city/hybrid bike (e.g. Specialized Jett) is ideal for comfortable everyday riding on asphalt or paths. A mountain (MTB) bike (e.g. Early Rider Seeker) is for adventures and rough terrain. BMX bikes (e.g. P.Series) are for active play in parks or tricks.
