Frog 44 First Pedal Kids Bike
Super Light and Incredibly Fun. One of Our TOP PICKS for 16" Bikes!
The Frog 44 First Pedal Kids Bike is the first of Frog's new and improved frame range. It is the perfect bike for 4 to 5 year olds with a minimum inseam of about 17" (44cm).
In addition, Frog has reduced the weight of this model - it is now feathery light at only 14.0 lbs (6.39kg)! Along with the weight reduction, Frog has lowered the bottom bracket to help kids achieve a more ergonomic position on the bike.
A bike that grows with your child! The new frame has a longer steerer tube that includes a 10mm spacer on top of the stem. This allows room to move the handlebars into a higher position as your child grows.
This amazing all-aluminum bike has a very lightweight high quality frame and fork. A longer wheel base and low center of gravity make balancing easy, making this a great first pedal bike. The Frog 44 inspires confidence which means your tike will want to get out and ride more. Once they're rolling, your little ripper will be leaving you in the dust!
Frog's design team continues to innovate and lead in child-centric bike design. Frog has literally thought of everything! The Frog 44 features:
- Patented Frog cranks for easier pedaling, with reduced distance between pedals to increase efficiency and comfort.
- Child specific, easy-to-reach Tektro hand brakes with adjustable levers, perfect for smaller hands. Better control means improved confidence for young riders.
- Rear freewheel (no coaster/foot brake) installed. A 16" rear coaster brake wheel is available at no additional cost upon request.
- 440mm width riser handlebar to ensure a comfortable reach for your child.
- Safety steering lock, preventing oversteering that can cause an accident. Safer for learners, but still super nimble for more aggressive riders!
- Mudguards you can easily install if you ride regularly where the mud is flying.
- High quality chain guide is installed. Includes an optional full chain guard to be installed if you prefer.
- Soft handlebar grips for comfortable riding.
- 4 reflectors (1 front; 1 rear; 1 on each wheel).
- Black Frog bell to let others know you're approaching.
- Matching "touch-up" stickers to cover those inevitable scratches that arise from everyday use.

We love the bike
Is such a cool, good quality bike. We got the red one, the color is amazing, the most beautiful red. I think is worth the money, a little real bike.


Amazing customer service
The best. Hands down. Third bike purchased in less than 2 years.


Bike awesome!
Used a balance bike for a month and then gave this to our daughter and she was able to pedal independently by her 4th bday! This bike is super light and great! Wish the kickstand was included. We definitely need it.

Great bike and great service!
The bike arrived in great condition and the assembly instructions were excellent. We also found the bike to be of the finest quality. Kudos.
