BMX bikes with 20 inch wheels are usually designed for young riders who are just getting started in the sport. Choosing the right size BMX bike for your child’s age and size is important for their safety and enjoyment. Here is a guide to what age a 20 inch BMX bike is best suited for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 20 inch BMX bike is the ideal size for most kids ages 5-12<\/strong> years old. This encompasses the entry-level years in BMX where basic bike handling skills are learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal rider height<\/strong> for a 20\u201d BMX bike is up to 5\u2019 tall. Taller teens 13-15 years old will be better served by upgrading to a 24\u201d wheeled BMX bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When your child exceeds a height of around 5\u2019 (boys) to 5’2\u201d (girls), it\u2019s time to upgrade from a 20\u201d wheeled BMX bike to a 24\u201d size to accommodate growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Practicing proper safety precautions and adult supervision will help make your child’s BMX riding experience safe as well as fun at any age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So in summary, a 20 inch BMX bike is generally designed to fit kids in the 5-12 year old range, accommodating ages at which basic riding skills are learned. Consider your child\u2019s height more than age when deciding on wheel size. And be sure to emphasize safe riding habits on any size BMX bike. Following these tips will ensure an enjoyable introduction to this adventurous cycling sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Depending on the model and intended use of the bike, the age range for a 20-inch BMX bike can change.
