Kids bikes sized by age and height for confident riding

About Glerc Bikes
Children's bicycles and the fittings that go with them, sized by wheel diameter rather than age alone, bought by parents working from an inseam measurement rather than a birth year. The stated range runs from toddlers through to young teens.
Wheel sizes run 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", 24" and 26", with models named rather than numbered: Little Molly and Maggie at the smaller end, Gemini as a 12" BMX-style bike, Skyline and Nova built as 20" and 24" multi-speed mountain bikes with disc brakes, and Missy as a beach cruiser hybrid with a rear rack. Categories on the site split by single speed, hybrid, mountain and belt drive. Beyond the bikes themselves, the range takes in helmets, training wheels, baskets, bells, streamers and a doll bike seat for a second rider on the back.
Frames and forks carry a lifetime warranty against material and workmanship faults, with other parts covered for two years; normal wear to tyres, chains, cables and the like sits outside that. The brand is distributed in the UK by MEMO CYCLE LTD under licence from GLERC, with assembly support given through a dedicated YouTube channel rather than in-home fitting. Bikes ship free from a UK warehouse, with accessories sometimes arriving separately.

Questions about Glerc Bikes
What age or height suits the Little Molly bike range?
Little Molly bikes come in several wheel sizes aimed at different ages, from 12 inch for 2 to 4 year olds up to 20 inch for 7 to 13 year olds, each with an adjustable seat and handlebar height. They include short-reach brake levers, a protective stem pad and removable stabilisers for learner riders.
What makes the Nova belt drive bike different from a chain bike?
The Nova uses a belt drive instead of a chain, which needs no grease and avoids rust, keeping rides quieter and reducing upkeep. It is built on an aluminium alloy frame with a narrow 140mm Q-factor crankset for a natural pedalling stance.
How much assembly does a Glerc bike need on arrival?
Glerc bikes arrive 85% pre-assembled with the basic tools included, so only a few parts need fitting before riding. The site's FAQ also points to a YouTube assembly channel for step-by-step guidance.
What safety features does the Skyline mountain bike have?
The Skyline is built with a high-carbon steel frame, aluminium disc brakes and a reinforced front suspension fork to absorb bumps. It also has a 21-speed gearing system and partially hidden brake cables to reduce wear.
What is included in the Glerc Kids Helmet Set with Padding?
The set includes a helmet made from an ABS shell with shock-absorbing EPS foam, plus two knee pads, two elbow pads and two wrist pads for full body coverage. It has a quick-release buckle and 11 air vents for ventilation.
How long does Glerc Bikes delivery take?
Orders are processed within 48 hours of payment and then shipped, with an estimated total delivery time of 4 to 7 working days within the UK. Bikes and accessories ship separately, so accessories may turn up a few days after the bike.
How do I return a Glerc Bikes order?
Items can be returned or exchanged within 45 days of receipt, provided they are new, unused, resalable and include all original parts and accessories. Returns for reasons other than a fault, such as changing your mind, mean the customer pays the return postage, while quality issues qualify for a free return.
What does the Glerc Bikes bike warranty cover?
Frames and forks carry a lifetime warranty against material and workmanship faults, while other bike parts are covered for two years against the same. Normal wear items such as tyres, pads, cables, chains, grips and saddles are not included, and the warranty excludes labour and postage costs.
Does Glerc Bikes ship outside the UK?
Glerc Bikes currently only delivers within the United Kingdom and does not offer international shipping. Anyone ordering for a birthday or other occasion is advised to order at least 7 working days ahead of the date needed.
What happens if a Glerc Bikes order arrives damaged?
Customers are asked to take two or three photos showing the damage to the box and its contents and send these to customer support, who will then arrange a resolution. The returns policy also lists cosmetic damage from transit as a recognised quality issue eligible for a free return or exchange.
