Have a look at the Raleigh Performance 20. We bought ours for just under £200. Significantly cheaper than an Isla etc.
Aye, and a very similar spec (including the mighty SB8s). Can't find a weight quoted though.
Got a Raleigh performance 20 for my eldest last year. Paid about £185. It's a cracking bike and weighs in at just under 9kg. Have just bought an isla 20 for my 6 year old. Got it second hand for £180. Both really excellent bikes

Sadly, the difference here is that you'll be able to resell the Islabike for the £180 you paid for it (maybe more if they keep cranking up the prices!) but the Raleigh...well, if you get half of your money back, I think you'll be doing well.
For kids bikes, resale is everything...
No, not for me, for kids bikes it's seeing them enjoy riding something that will hopefully mean that they carry on riding as they get older.
Would be nice not to lose too much, but that wasn't the primary aim
I don't doubt that at all 🙂
But there's a lot of people talking about used Islabikes being too expensive and then suggesting other cheaper alternatives that would certainly work out much more expensive in the long run!
Glad your kids like their bikes 🙂
