It’s a tedious and stressful time when parents have to purchase a new bike for their child. They have to take into consideration the latest trends. What are the best-selling styles in the market place today?
A child will want to be popular with his new bike. A good idea would be to take a look at the styles of his friend’s bikes. If the purchase will not be a secret, maybe speak to the child to find out what styles he is into. Then there is the size. Kids Dirt Bikes come in various sizes according to the inch size of the frame. Do you want a size that is just right for them now, or do you want something that they can grow into and last?
The ideal size is for them to be able to touch the floor while seated, but available with enough adjustments that it can be altered with growth. But the hardest task is knowing where to purchase that bike and knowing if you are getting a good deal. Are you looking for a second hand bike or a brand new model?
Secondhand Bikes
If you are looking for a secondhand bike you have to be very careful. You can purchase the bike from used bike centers, online used items from various websites and newspaper ads. The problem with secondhand bikes is that you don’t really know what you are getting. Are they safe? Most cases don’t even have warranties. If you are purchasing from a used bike center, you may be lucky enough to find a center that will offer 3-6 month warranty, but is usually only regarding the bicycle frame itself. If money is the reason for the interest in a used bike, which is usually the case, then be extra careful in making sure it is something that you will not regret. If money is not an option it is always a good idea to find a brand new bike from a respectful bike center.
Brand New Bikes
Purchasing a brand new bike from a respectful high street retailer or retail chain is always the smart way to go about purchasing that new bike for your child. There are some really great deals out there if you look around. Brand new bikes generally come with a 12 month guarantee on the frame, 6 month guarantee on moving parts and most centers offer free servicing.
Another advantage of a big retailer or chain is the fact that they hold in stock many models of one particular style and in a various range of colors for each model. So often the case when purchasing a used by bike you do not have the option of choosing models and colors as they may only hold one model in one color of a particular style. Also the sizes are a big factor. A large retailer will have models and styles in a range of styles better befitting your child.
Choosing The Right Bike
I know most parents want to keep the bike a secret from their child until the day that they reveal it, but an ideal way would be to take your child along to the retailer. This way they will be able to pick out the right bike as per what the child is interested in. The child will be able to choose style, model and color that is relevant to the fashion today and in line with what bikes their friends have. You can have your child sit on the bike to test for frame size and most stores will let them test ride to see how they are able to manage the bike. Most retailers offer accessory packages on bikes, meaning that the bike may come with a safety jacket, helmet and in some cases lights. It is always better to know you have a piece of mind in knowing that your child is safe while riding his bike because you took all the right precautions when selecting and purchasing the bike for them.
