Your child's bike journey
One subscription carries them from a first balance bike at around 18 months to full-size 26" wheels at 14 - six bikes, always the right size, exchanged as they grow. Drag the slider to see where your child is today, and what the journey costs next to buying every bike new.

Signs they've outgrown it
Knees brushing the handlebars as they pedal
Saddle already at its maximum height
Feet flat on the floor, knees clearly bent
They look scrunched, or say it feels "small"

Their perfect fit
You've probably got a few questions
What happens if something breaks?
+
Repairs and normal wear and tear are included in every plan - get in touch and we'll sort it. Damage beyond normal use is repaired at cost, and Laka insurance covers theft and accidents.
How do I cancel?
+
After your bike's 6-month minimum, cancel any time from your account. Return is free, and you only ever pay the rate for the time you kept it.
Will I be charged for signs of use?
+
No - scratches, scuffs and worn tyres are normal life for a kids bike and completely fine.
Is Wheelies worth it for me?
+
If your child is still growing, almost certainly - always the right size, no upfront cost, and typically hundreds cheaper than buying each bike new.
My child has grown and we need a different model.
+
That's what we're for - exchange from your account in two minutes. Free at the end of your plan, and never more than a small fair adjustment before it.
What does shipping cost?
+
Nothing. Delivery and returns are always free.
