LittleBig Bike FAQs

What age / size is the LittleBig suitable for?

Designed for children approximately 2 to 6 years. Correct fit is based on inseam measurement. In balance mode, saddle height adjusts from 30 cm to 52 cm.

Does LittleBig grow with my child?

Yes. The frame flips to increase saddle height and reach. It has three modes: small balance, large balance, and pedal bike (pedal kit optional).

Does LittleBig come with pedals?

LittleBig is supplied as a small balance bike. The pedal kit is a separate add-on and can be fitted later.

Are stabilisers needed?

No. Children learn balance first, so stabilisers are not required when transitioning to pedals.

Are brakes included?

Yes. It includes front and rear hand brakes with short reach levers.

Is it difficult to convert to pedal mode?

No. Conversion can be completed at home in minutes using the supplied tools and instructions.

Can you ship to me?

Yes we deliver to the UK for £20 which takes 2-3 days for in stock items. All taxes and duties are included. The price you see is the price you pay.

3 Bikes in 1

LittleBig is designed to support every stage of learning to ride on the same frame. It starts as a small balance bike, flips into a larger balance bike as your child grows, and can later convert into a pedal bike using the optional pedal kit.

This approach helps children master balance first, then transition to pedals without stabilisers, and without needing to buy separate bikes for each stage.

Growing Design

The frame is designed to adapt as your child grows. Saddle height and reach can be adjusted for a correct fit, and the frame flip increases space and height for the next stage.

If you are unsure about sizing, use the sizing guide on this page and measure inside leg length for the best fit.

Converts

LittleBig is supplied in balance mode as standard. When your child is ready to pedal, you can add the optional pedal kit and convert it into a proper pedal bike.

Many families prefer this approach because it lets children build real balance skills first, making the move to pedals feel natural and reducing the need for stabilisers.

Lightweight

A lighter bike is easier for young riders to control, especially when starting out on a balance bike. LittleBig is designed to feel manageable for small hands and growing coordination, helping children steer, stop and pick up the bike more easily.

You can find full specifications and weight details at the bottom of this page.

Age 2 to 6

LittleBig is designed for children roughly age 2 through to 6 years, depending on inside leg length. Fit matters more than age, so we recommend measuring your child and using the sizing guide on this page.

In balance mode, the saddle height adjusts from 30 cm upward, so smaller riders can start safely and comfortably.

Why We Built the LittleBig

LittleBig Bikes was founded by Simon Evans - a parent, engineer, round-the-world cyclist and mountain biker - with one clear goal: to help kids learn to ride with confidence

After seeing how quickly traditional kids bikes are outgrown and discarded, Simon set out to create a bike that adapts as children develop their skills. The LittleBig starts as a balance bike and later converts to a pedal bike on the same familiar frame, supporting years of confident riding.

Thoughtfully engineered and built to last, LittleBig reduces waste while offering long-term value for families who want a more sustainable approach to learning on two wheels.
