Shyre Bikes – Frequently Asked Questions

Shyre Bikes is a family-owned and operated business based in Shropshire. Inspired by our own experiences as cycling parents, we’ve teamed up with a global leading bike manufacturer to produce top-tier kids’ bikes with local service and support.

We’re committed to delivering premium-quality bikes at mid-range prices, meaning parents get more for less, and kids enjoy the best ride available. Our bikes are light, tough, easy to handle, and purpose-built for growing riders.

All bikes are designed in the UK and manufactured by one of the world’s top bike producers. Final checks and despatch happen via our UK distribution partner or directly from our HQ.

We currently offer:

• 16” Hopton – ages 4–6
• 20” Hopton – ages 6–8
• 24” Hopton – ages 8–11

Each bike is designed with child-specific geometry and safety features to support confident, comfortable riding.

We use lightweight, rust-resistant 6061 aluminium alloy for the frame and fork, helping kids handle their bikes with ease while standing up to everyday use.

Use your child’s inside leg measurement alongside our online size guide. For personalised help, you can also book a one-to-one fitting at our Shrewsbury HQ via our Shyre 1-to-1 Sizing & Fit Page.

We accept all major debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Clearpay for four interest-free instalments.

We offer a 90-day happiness guarantee. If the bike’s unused and still in original condition, you can return it for a full refund—no fuss. .
