Go for the best you can afford, we bought our 3 children Islabikes last Christmas. My wife was really really sceptical and couldn’t understand the weight aspect. Once delivered and she was there to receive the delivery even in the boxes she was surprised how little they weighted.

The children took to them really well, 7YO felt the difference in weight for hers, 4YO came off stabilsers very quickly after and the 1.5 YO was off on his rohan very quickly, he would even pick it up, can’t say the same for a halfords special.

We looked at getting used but the difference in price was very small, their residuals are amazing.

If you can take the plunge!
