The Minivelo GT24 is a 24-inch bike designed specifically for kids. Its lightweight aluminium 6061 frame and rims make it easy for children to handle and manoeuvre, and its 8-speed gears make it a good choice for kids who are ready to take on more challenging terrain.

Aluminium 6061 frame, fork and rims

The frame, fork and rims are all aluminium 6061, with a net weight of 9.3 kg. The fork has no suspension.

8-speed gearing

8-speed gearing lets children pick a suitable gear for the road: shift easier on climbs and harder on the flat.

V-brakes

The braking system uses V-brakes for reliable stopping power.

No training wheels, for independent riders

This bike does not come with training wheels, so it suits children who can already ride on their own. If your child is still learning to balance, see the Jollymap article below on how balance bikes help children learn to ride faster.

5 colours

Available in Black Blue, Blue Green, Blue Red, Pink Yellow and Brushed Silver. Please refer to the colour options on the product page for current availability.

Who Is It For?

Good fit: Children about 125–160 cm tall (Jollymap spec) who can ride independently.

Maybe not: Children who still need training wheels. Under 125 cm, compare the 20-inch Minivelo 20 inch 8 Speed Kid Bike or the single-speed minivelo 20 inch kid bike (115–150 cm in Jollymap's spec).

For sizing, see Jollymap's kids bike fit chart below. The chart is for reference only; the right size also depends on the individual bike's design and the child's riding skill.

Jollymap's Advice

In Jollymap's spec, the rider height ranges for 20-inch and 24-inch overlap between 125 and 150 cm. For children in this range, check inside leg length (inseam) as well as height: according to Jollymap's article "6 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Kids' Bike", when the saddle is about 2 cm lower than the child's crotch height, the child can put both feet flat on the ground. If you are not sure whether to choose 20-inch or 24-inch, please tell us your child's height and inseam before ordering via Chat with us on our shop or the Jollymap Facebook page, and we will help you choose a size.

FAQ

What height of child does the Minivelo 24 inch 8 Speed kid bike suit?

Children about 125–160 cm tall (Jollymap spec). Choose a kids' bike by height and inseam rather than age alone; according to Jollymap's article, a saddle about 2 cm lower than the child's crotch height lets them put both feet flat on the ground. If unsure, contact us before ordering.

What is the difference between Minivelo 20 inch and 24 inch kids' bikes?

The main differences are wheel size and rider height. In Jollymap's spec, this 24-inch model suits riders 125–160 cm tall, while the 20-inch Minivelo 20 inch 8 Speed Kid Bike and minivelo 20 inch kid bike suit 115–150 cm. Children between 125 and 150 cm can consider either size; compare saddle height with inseam before deciding.
