Figuring out the height for a 14-inch bike can be a puzzling affair as there are numerous bike sizes that cater to different height ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add to it, the different types of bikes, wheel sizes, frame sizes, etc, and this process can get confusing pretty fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But getting the right inch bike<\/em> for the height goes a long way in ensuring that the kid really enjoys the bike and finds the whole biking experience to be a fun and inspiring affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would also set the tone for the kid for the future where they would look forward to taking their bike out for a spin and enjoying the outdoors rather than clamming up inside the house and resorting to sedentary activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Height<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

14-Inch Wheel Bike Height:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When wheel<\/strong><\/em> sizes are mentioned, it\u2019s generally for kids\u2019 bikes, as that\u2019s how kids\u2019 bikes are measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch wheel bike is ideal for a kid who is between 36 and 42 inches tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a recommended bike size for 3-year-olds<\/a> and 4-year-olds<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The optimal way to match the height with the bike<\/a> is by measuring the inseam height of the child and matching that with the standover height of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standover height of the bike is the measurement of the distance from the floor to a point on the top tube (the top tube is the tube that connects the front and rear of the bike from the head tube to the seat post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have the kid stand against a wall without the shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold a hardcover book between the thighs and measure the distance from the floor to the crotch. This is the inseam height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This inseam height should be a couple of inches taller than the standover height of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch bike<\/a> will have a standover height between 13 and 14 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might vary slightly between brands and different bike models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the inseam height of the kid is between 15 and 16 inches, then the kid will find the bike to be comfortable and confident with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is important during the early years, especially when the kid is learning to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch wheel bike size is a new category and not all bike brands will have this size in their portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, most of the kid-specific brands have ditched the 12-inch size and carry only 14-inch bikes in their portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because a 14-inch<\/a> bike has better geometry for a good fit and overall experience for the kid than a 12-inch one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14-Inch Bike Frame Height:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch bike frame<\/strong><\/em> is for adults as the size of the frame<\/strong><\/em> is used to measure adults\u2019 bikes along with the wheel size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch frame suits an adult who is between 4\u201910\u201d and 5\u20192\u201d tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch frame is sized like a size XS bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The below size chart\/guide will give you a better idea of how bike frames are sized based on the rider’s height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14-Inch Mountain Bike Height:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch mountain bike refers to the frame size of the bike and not the wheels as 14-inch wheel bikes would be too small for an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch frame<\/strong><\/em> mountain bike suits someone who is between 4\u201910\u201d and 5\u20192\u201d in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are taller than this height range you can try out a 15 or 16-inch frame mountain bike that can be a better fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to figure this out is by testing out the bikes and seeing which one you are comfortable with and go with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14-Inch BMX Bike Height:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch wheel BMX bike is an uncommon size with most of BMX bike brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the brands start at 16 inches that suit riders between 3 feet and 4 feet tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14-Inch Ladies Bike Frame Height:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch frame<\/strong><\/em> lady\u2019s bike would fit a woman who is between 4\u201910\u201d and 5\u20192\u201d in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 14-inch bike is sized like a size Small<\/strong><\/em> bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next size for a woman is 15 – 16 inches. So, if you are taller than the above-mentioned height range you can consider a bike with a 15\u201d-16\u201d frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, if you are shorter, you can look at a 26-inch wheel kids bike or even a 24-inch wheel<\/strong><\/em> bike which would be a better fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
