More sizes simply offers better choice and a better fit“. “The 18” is a great stop gap for kids jumping up from a 16” to a 20”, and also those jumping from a 14” that are a bit too tall for a 16”. So, why did Squish taken the step of releasing this bike? I asked them and this was the answer I got: Is there a need for an 18″ wheel kids bike?Īt the time we got sent this bike none of the other players in the lightweight kids bike market had an 18″ wheel bike. The Squish bikes range in size and price from a 14″ wheel bike (£270) through to a 26″ wheel bike with two frame size options (£370). The price points on the Squish Bikes seem very competitive indeed, and they have been designed to be a more affordable light weight bike than the Dawes Academy. We’d read Squish Bikes promotional claims to be light weight, good quality and fun to ride, but we’ve been reserving judgement until we could actually get our hands on a Squish bike to review. They’re Birmingham based and do all their design and development work here in the UK.
Exciting times!!! So, without further ado, here is the first part of our Squish 18 review – first impressions only at this point.Ī good question! Squish Bikes are a new brand from Tandem Group Cycles, who also own the Dawes and Claud Butler ranges. Secondly, it comes in the form of a Squish Bike – a new entrant into the lightweight kids bike market.
We’ve been very excited at Cycle Sprog for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve taken delivery of our first ever 18” wheel kids bike (I know – it’s not a wheel size that you tend to equate with lightweight, well specified kids bikes).
