4 min readBlack Friday is the best time to get great deals on kids bikes.Save up to 25% on some of the best brands like Prevelo, Woom, and BIKY.
Choosing the right bike for your kid is one of the most important choices you make, because the right fit can define their entire riding experience. It can completely change how a child feels about riding—how confident they are, how often they want to go out, and how much fun they have once they do. As a former professional racer who’s tested bikes for years and raised two kids who have completely fallen in love with riding, I’ve learned that great bikes share the same core traits: they’re light enough for small riders to manage, sized correctly, and designed to make riding feel easy and exciting.
Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to find quality kids’ bikes on sale, especially from top brands like Prevelo, Woom, Biky, and Retrospec, along with budget-friendly picks from retailers like Walmart. This guide highlights the standout deals across those brands, whether you’re shopping for a first balance bike, a lightweight pedal bike, or a capable trail-ready model.
If you’re new to kids’ bike shopping—or just want a quick refresher—it’s worth remembering a few fundamentals. Weight matters a lot, because a bike that’s too heavy turns every ride into a struggle. Proper sizing is non-negotiable, since bikes that are too big are harder to control and often discourage kids from riding. And once your child is ready for longer distances or varied terrain, features like gears, hand brakes, and (eventually) suspension can make riding more enjoyable.
For a deeper breakdown on sizing, choosing the right style, and what features matter most at each age, check out my full guide: “The Ultimate Kids Bike Buyers Guide: Top Picks for Every Size and Age.”
Here are the best Black Friday kids’ bike deals worth grabbing this year. And keep checking back: I’ll be monitoring prices and inventory throughout Black Friday and Cyber Week, updating this list with the newest and best deals as they drop.

Prevelo is building some of the best kids’ bikes you can buy. One standout feature of the Zulu and Alpha series is how easily the smaller models (16-inch and under) convert between pedal and balance modes. Simply removing pedals on most bikes doesn’t work well—kids have short legs, and straddling crank arms makes it awkward to push and glide. Prevelo’s design avoids that issue entirely, making it ideal for kids learning to pedal.
They also nail the gearing. Prevelo’s single-speed bikes use the easiest gear ratios of any brand I’ve tested, which is crucial for young riders. When in doubt, it’s always better for a kid’s bike to have a gear that’s a little too easy than one that’s even slightly too hard.

woom EXPLORE 4
Now 20% Off
Best 24-inch
Woom was one of the first brands to focus exclusively on kids’ bikes and the specific needs of young riders learning to pedal. One standout feature is the color-coded brake levers—it’s far easier to teach a child to pull the “red” or “green” lever than to remember left from right.
Woom bikes are priced at a premium, but the brand’s excellent trade-in program helps offset the cost. When your child outgrows a bike, you can trade it in for a discount on the next size up. Those returned bikes are then refurbished and donated to non-profit programs Woom supports, so upgrading not only saves you money but also helps get more kids on bikes.
BIKY Black Friday Deals

Biky Air 12 (Balance Bike)
Best 16-inch
Best 20-inch
BIKY is one of the newest brands focused exclusively on kids’ bikes, and its models pack in many of the features found on the best options for young riders: low standover heights, easy-to-pedal gearing, and lightweight components. They also come in a bit cheaper than many of the other premium choices, making them a strong value for families

Retrospec is a Southern California–based brand that makes a wide range of sporting goods, including some truly unique products. Their bikes cost less than most on this list, yet the company still makes thoughtful design choices that deliver strong value. I especially like their broad lineup of balance bikes—everything from four-wheeled baby walker models to more advanced versions with hand brakes and rubber tires.

No list of Black Friday kids’ bike deals would be complete without a few picks from the retail giant. It’s hard to find a wider selection at lower prices anywhere else. And I’ll admit it—I couldn’t resist the Huffy with streamers. My daughter loves any decorative flair on her bike, and I know a lot of kids feel the same way.
