Sizing & Fit

Recommended height: 110–128cm. Inside leg: 50–58cm. Approximate age: 5–8 years according to Squish’s size guide. 18" wheels and a 9.5" frame.

For the best fit, measure the rider’s inside leg barefoot: stand against a wall, place a book firmly between the legs, and measure from the floor to the book’s upper edge. Use measurements before age alone. If between sizes, ask us for guidance.

Delivery & Assembly

Our current delivery estimate is 3–5 days, subject to supplier availability and your delivery address. You can select our optional £49.99 bike assembly service where offered for this model. If the bike is delivered boxed, some final assembly and safety checks will be needed before riding. We will confirm the delivery arrangements for your order.

Before the first ride, check brakes, wheels, steering and tyre pressure. If you are unsure about bike assembly, ask a qualified mechanic.

Key Benefits

Useful in-between 18-inch wheel size
Single-speed simplicity for developing skills
Lightweight triple-butted aluminium frame
Tektro mini V-brakes with junior levers
Shorter 114mm cranks and child-sized contact points

The Squish 18 fills the gap for children who have outgrown a 16-inch bike but are not ready for a 20-inch geared model. Its lightweight frame and well-proportioned 18-inch wheels make this an approachable option for building confidence at the next stage.

The single-speed drivetrain keeps riding uncomplicated, while junior-specific cranks, grips and reach-adjust Tektro brake levers help young riders pedal, steer and stop more comfortably. It is designed for park trips, easy family routes and everyday learning.

Why We Choose Squish

We choose the Squish 18 because bike sizing does not always progress neatly from 16 to 20 inches. This model gives in-between riders a lighter, better-proportioned option with straightforward single-speed operation and effective child-friendly braking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an 18-inch bike instead of a 20-inch?

An 18-inch wheel can be a more comfortable next step when a 16-inch bike is too small but a larger 20-inch bike feels difficult to handle. Measure the child rather than relying on age.

Does the Squish 18 have gears?

No. It has a single-speed drivetrain to keep learning straightforward.

What size rider will it fit?

Squish recommends 110–128cm in height and a 50–58cm inside leg.

Does it have child-sized brakes?

Yes. It uses Tektro mini V-brakes with junior reach-adjust brake levers.
