Our expert technicians will not only build your bike, they will also carry out the necessary safety checks so you can be assured your child’s bike is safe and secure. We have a selection of fantastic kids bikes that can be built and delivered to your home for a price of just £20.
Lowest price guaranteed
This Christmas, we guarantee that you’ll get the lowest price on all our kids bikes. If we change the price of your bike from 30th September to 24th December, we’ll refund the difference back to you on a Halfords e-gift card.
CycleCare
When you buy a shiny new bike with Halfords, you can take advantage of our £10 Kids CycleCare plan to ensure your bicycle stays in perfect working order.

At the end of the year, you can also take advantage of our silver service, which guarantees bike labour and workmanship for 6 months.
Personalisation
At Halfords, you can customise your child’s bike by adding their name for just £5. We also have a handy bundle during the Christmas period, where you can also add a cool bike gift bag to help you wrap the bike and a large bow, all for £10 to make your gift look extra special.

Why are Halfords kids bikes and scooters such great gifts?
In addition to the many benefits of buying a kids bike with Halfords, there are also many other reasons why they make the perfect gift, whether it be for Christmas or birthdays.
Here are some of the primary reasons why buying a bike for your child can be so rewarding:
-
Make memories
Whether you’re teaching your child to ride a bike or cycling together as a family, buying a bike for your child can allow you to create wonderful family memories. Taking them to the local park can help build their confidence by practicing in a large, open space. If your child is already an experienced cyclist, why not try a more complex family trail such as a national park?
-
Learn valuable skills
Riding a bike is an excellent way to help your child learn valuable life skills from building strength to gaining independence. Keeping up with their bike practice can also teach kids the importance of determination and not giving up.
-
Be more active
Being amongst the great outdoors, breathing in fresh air is beneficial for our health both physically and mentally. Cycling is a brilliant way to help relieve anxiety and can help children let off steam, particularly after a challenging day at school. Riding a bike also helps boost muscle development and cardiovascular fitness, helping children keep healthy and active.
-
Excellent stocking fillers
It’s not just the bike itself that makes the perfect gift. Kids bike accessories also make excellent stocking fillers, helping add some extra fun to your child’s cycling experience.

Number plates

Bike bells
Bike bells are the ultimate accessory and make a perfect stocking filler for Christmas.
