If you\u2019ve been in the market looking for a 22-inch bike for your kid, you probably haven\u2019t found any. That is because 22-inch wheels are a very rare and unusual size in a bike brand\u2019s portfolio of wheel sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that is the case, then, how did you even end up searching for it in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s where the complexity of the wheel sizes for kids comes into the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a multitude of inch bikes<\/em> for kids that caters to all age groups and getting confused by that is only a natural outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But figuring out the right size wheels for your kid is also very important because that can have a bearing on how the kid takes to biking and whether they would find it to be a pleasant activity or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, first, let’s start with the below question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"giant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is There A 22 Inch Bike?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The answer is – It depends and it\u2019s a little complicated – yeah!. Let us explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 22-inch bike can either refer to a kid\u2019s bike or an adult\u2019s bike depending on the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A kid\u2019s bicycle is sized based on the diameter of the wheels whereas an adult bike is sized based on the size of the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if your question is for kids – then we don\u2019t know of any 22-inch wheel kids’ bikes that are available in the US or Europe, or most parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if it\u2019s for adults – then Yes! there are bikes with 22-inch frame sizes for adults often categorized as X-Large bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are There 22-Inch Kids Bikes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we\u2019ve mentioned above, none that we know of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are 20-inch and 24-inch bikes that cater to kids aged between 6 to 9 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 20-inch bike is ideal for a kid between 6 and 7 years of age<\/a> while a 24-inch is ideal for kids between 8 years<\/a> and 9 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The height of the kid also needs to be taken into consideration while sizing wheels as kids of the same age can vary in terms of their height and size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, depending on the height of the child, you can then select the right wheel size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Tall Should You Be For A 22-Inch Bike?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a 22-inch wheel bike for a kid, this size is an uncommon one and you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a manufacturer sporting this size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you can either opt for a 20-inch bike<\/a> or a 24-inch bike<\/a> that caters to kids between 6 years<\/a> and 9 years of age<\/a> and stands between 43 and 59 inches in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if your question is for an adult, then a 22-inch frame bike suits adults who are between 6\u20190\u201d and 6\u20193\u201d in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Age Is A 22-Inch BMX Bike For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 22-inch BMX bike is a rather new entrant in the BMX wheel size category and many of the brands don\u2019t have this size in their lineup as of now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe in the future, they may start to include this size in their catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 20-inch wheel BMX bike would be a good enough size for kids who are between 10 years<\/a> and 13 years of age<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the height of the child you can go for a 20-inch wheel with an appropriate frame size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 22-inch BMX bikes mostly cater to adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Age Is A 22-Inch Frame Bike For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kids\u2019 bikes are measured in terms of the diameter of the wheels and not by the frame size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The size of the frame is used to size adult bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 22-inch wheel bike is not a standard wheel size for kids and is not available in most parts of the world, except, perhaps in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can opt for either a 20-inch or a 24-inch bike for your kid that caters to kids aged between 6 and 9 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommended height for a 20-inch bike is between 43 and 55 inches whereas, for a 24-inch bike, it is between 51 and 59 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Size Is A 22-Inch Bike Frame?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 22-inch bike frame is size X-Large. This would suit an adult who is between 6\u20190\u201d and 6\u20193\u201d tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you are on the lookout for a 22-inch kid\u2019s bike, then it refers to the size of the wheels and not the frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 22 inches in this case would be the measurement of the diameter of the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, 22-inch kid\u2019s bikes are a very uncommon size in a brand\u2019s repertoire of sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you can opt for a 20-inch or a 24-inch bike based on the age and height of the child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
