Yotsuba Cycle is a sports cycle brand specializing in kids' bikes that was established in Japan in 2016. With the concept of "bringing the fun of bike riding to children," Yotsuba Cycle has been creating bicycles that parents want their children to ridE
(1) Lightweight design
Lightness is one of the most important features for children who are not strong enough during the growth process. The same weight of 1kg feels many times heavier to children. A Yotsuba bicycle, which weighs only about half of a typical children's bicycle, is easy for children to handle and will help them make rapid progress.
(2): The best size for children's physiquE
If a child's feet don't touch the ground or they can't hold the handlebars firmly, their fear of riding a bicycle will increasE
Yotsuba Cycle has designed the top tube lower to allow for a lower saddle position. The handlebar grips are narrower (23.5 mm in diameter) than those on most bicycles so that even children with small hands can have a firm grip. Cranks are also selected for each size of bicycle with a length that matches the target height.
(3): Special brakes for children
If you can't stop when you feel scared, you won't like bicycles.
Yotsuba Cycle uses thin grips that are easy for even small hands to grasp. The bike is also equipped with a lever specially designed for children that can be pulled with little effort and a V-brake that exerts powerful braking force, providing peace of mind that even a child's grip is strong enough to stop.
4) Thick tires
All models are equipped with thicker tires that are easy to balance even at low speeds, allowing the rider to make rapid progress. In addition, the fatter tires provide more cushioning, which improves riding comfort and allows for serious off-road riding.
New size for aggressive driving from the feet up!
The 22-inch size is ideal when 20-inch is too small and 24-inch is too big. By filling the size valley, it solves the problem of bike selection.

Yotsuba Cycle's concept of appropriate size
Yotsuba Cycle recommends the appropriate size for children to have both feet firmly on the ground when the saddle is in the lowest position, taking into consideration off-road riding on poor terrain. Therefore, please measure your child not only by age and height, but also by inseam length, and select a model from the size chart below whose height with the saddle at its lowest point is smaller than your child's inseam length.
