Description
Yotsuba Cycle is a sports bicycle brand specializing in kids’ bikes that was founded in Japan in 2016. Guided by the concept of “Bringing the Joy of Cycling to Children,” the brand brings to life the bikes that parents—based on their own experiences raising children—want their kids to ride.
①: Lightweight Design
For growing children with limited strength, “lightweight” is one of the most important features. Even a single kilogram feels many times heavier to a child. Weighing about half as much as a typical children’s bike, Yotsuba Cycle is easy for children to handle, so they’ll improve rapidly.
②: Sizes Optimized for Children’s Statures
Even something as simple as not being able to touch the ground with their feet or grip the handlebars firmly can increase a child’s fear of riding a bike.
Yotsuba Cycle is designed with a lower top tube to allow the saddle position to be lowered further. The handlebar grips are thinner (23.5 mm in diameter) than those on standard bicycles so that even children with small hands can grip them firmly. Additionally, the crank length is selected for each bike size to match the target height range.
③: Brakes Designed Specifically for Children
If a child can’t stop when they feel “scared,” they’ll end up hating bicycles.
Yotsuba Cycle uses slim levers that are easy for small hands to grip. Furthermore, the bikes are equipped with child-specific levers that can be pulled easily with minimal effort, along with V-brakes that deliver powerful stopping power, providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing they can stop safely even with a child’s grip strength.
④: Thick Tires
All models are equipped with wider tires that make it easy to maintain balance even at low speeds, helping children improve rapidly. Furthermore, the wider tires offer superior cushioning for a smoother ride and allow for serious off-road riding.
The 18-inch size we’ve always wanted!
Born from the question, “Aren’t kids’ bike sizes too general, considering how children grow in small increments?” the “Yotsuba 18” is one of Yotsuba Cycle’s flagship models. It’s perfect for children for whom a 16-inch bike is too small and a 20-inch bike is too big.Seeing your child ride a bike that fits them perfectly will surely make them shine brighter than ever, and their beaming smile is sure to bring a smile to Mom and Dad’s faces too.

Yotsuba Cycle’s Recommended Size Guide
At Yotsuba Cycle, with off-road riding on rough terrain in mind, we recommend a bike where both of your child’s feet can firmly touch the ground when the saddle is in its lowest position as the appropriate size.Therefore, please do not rely solely on age or height; instead, measure your child’s inseam and select a model from the size chart below where the saddle height at its lowest setting is less than your child’s inseam measurement.
