Forme Kinder 26″ 

Looking for a proper kids’ bike that isn’t made of cheese? The Forme Kinder 26″ is one of those solid, well-built junior bikes that actually rides like a real bike — not a wobbly toy. Lightweight frame, smooth gearing, decent brakes, and all-round “let’s get out and ride” vibes. It’s built to handle school runs, family rides, canal paths, and the usual kid-level chaos.

This bike has come from a reputable rental fleet and has been fully refurbished by the Shifta team. We’ve put it through our usual checks so it’s safe, smooth, and ready for its next little shredder. Depending on the grade (A, B, or C), you might spot the odd cosmetic scratch — but mechanically, they all pass the same strict standards.

This Specific Bike

The bike is in good overall condition, Little ware to the components but the frame does have a few scratches (see pics). It has had a full service with the chain and cassette replaced.
