Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about children's bikes at Kofyria - where adventure begins on two wheels!

Size is the golden key to biking joy! We recommend selecting a bike where your child can comfortably touch the ground with both feet while seated. Generally, bike sizes correlate with age: 12" wheels for ages 2-4, 16" for ages 4-6, 20" for ages 6-9, and 24" for ages 9-12. However, your child's height is the most important factor. Visit our size guide for detailed measurements, or contact our "Bike Whisperers" for personalized assistance.

The great training wheel exodus happens at different times for every child! Most children are ready between ages 4-6, but it's more about confidence than candles on the birthday cake. Look for signs like good balance, coordination, and interest in riding without support. Our balance bikes offer a fantastic alternative path to two-wheel independence, often allowing children to skip training wheels entirely. Remember, patience is your co-pilot on this journey—no rushing required!

Safety isn't just a feature—it's non-negotiable! Every young cyclist needs a properly fitted helmet (we cannot emphasize this enough), and we offer free helmet fitting with every bike purchase. Beyond that, consider knee and elbow pads for beginners, reflective gear for visibility, and a bell to announce their grand arrivals. Our "Safety Squadron" bundle includes all essentials at a discounted price. Remember, the best protection is proper instruction, so spend time teaching good riding habits before your little explorer hits the trail!

Kids' bikes need love too! Establish a simple routine: regularly check tire pressure (squeeze test works for beginners), keep the chain lightly oiled (think gentle rain, not downpour), ensure brakes respond promptly, and tighten any loose bolts. We recommend a thorough check every 3 months for casual riders or monthly for daily adventurers. Our "Forever Free" program offers complimentary basic tune-ups for the first year. Teaching your child basic maintenance turns them from mere riders into responsible stewards of their two-wheeled steed!

Absolutely! We stand behind our bikes like proud parents at a recital. All Kofyria bikes come with a 2-year warranty on the frame and 1-year on components against manufacturing defects. Our premium models enjoy extended 5-year frame coverage. We understand kids can be... enthusiastic riders, so we also offer our unique "Growth Guarantee" program where you receive 30% trade-in value when upgrading to a larger Kofyria bike within 3 years. Peace of mind comes standard with every purchase!

Frame materials shape the entire riding experience! Aluminum frames are the lightweight champions (about 30% lighter than steel), making them easier for smaller riders to maneuver and parents to carry during inevitable tired moments. Steel frames are the reliable workhorses—more durable against dents, delivering a smoother ride by absorbing bumps, and often more affordable. Our mid-range and premium models feature aircraft-grade aluminum with child-specific geometries, while our starter bikes offer quality steel frames that can weather numerous tumbles and adventures.

The journey to two-wheeled independence varies wildly! Some children find their balance in a single determined afternoon, while others enjoy a more scenic route over several weeks. Balance bikes typically accelerate the learning curve—many balance bike graduates transition to pedals in just 1-2 sessions. The secret recipe combines gentle encouragement, consistent short practice sessions, and celebrating small victories. Our "First Ride Guide" shares proven techniques to make learning stress-free. Remember, it's not a race (though races come later when they're zooming confidently around the park!).

Our bikes arrive 85% assembled—think of it as a mini-adventure before the real adventures begin! You'll typically need to attach handlebars, front wheel, pedals, and seat—all with clear instructions and required tools included in the box. Most parents complete assembly in 20-30 minutes (and earn serious "handy parent" points). For those preferring a hands-off approach, our "Ready to Ride" service (+$25) delivers fully assembled bikes to your doorstep. Local customers can also select free in-store professional assembly and fitting. Our assembly videos make heroes out of even the most allen-wrench-averse parents!

We want smiles, not regrets! If your Kofyria bike doesn't perfectly match your young rider, we offer a 30-day return window for unused bikes in original packaging. Bikes that have been ridden but are in excellent condition qualify for our 14-day exchange program. We also offer our unique "Test Ride Promise" program: if your child tries the bike within 7 days and it's not the right fit, we'll exchange it free of charge—even if it has light usage marks. We believe finding the perfect bike match should be as carefree as riding one!

Happy child riding a colorful Kofyria bicycle

Pedaling Joy into Childhood Adventures

Welcome to Kofyria, where childhood dreams roll on two wheels. We're not just selling bikes; we're crafting vessels of joy, freedom, and unforgettable memories for your little explorers.

Born from a parent's wish to find the perfect bicycle for his daughter, Kofyria sprouted from a simple garage workshop into a wonderland of children's bicycles that prioritize safety without sacrificing the magic of childhood imagination.

Each Kofyria bicycle undergoes a meticulous journey from concept to creation, guided by our team of cycling enthusiasts who remember their own first wobbly pedal strokes. We understand that a child's first bicycle isn't merely a toy – it's a companion for adventures, a confidence builder, and often, a child's first taste of independence.

Our Mission & Values

At Kofyria, we believe every child deserves a bicycle that grows with them, challenges them, and celebrates their uniqueness. Our mission stretches beyond selling quality bikes – we're committed to nurturing a generation of confident, active explorers who feel the wind in their hair and freedom beneath their wheels.

Safety First, Adventures Second

We engineer every bicycle with rigorous safety standards that exceed industry expectations, so parents can watch their little ones zoom away with peace of mind.

Growth-Friendly Design

Our bicycles are thoughtfully designed to accommodate growing bodies and developing skills, offering adjustable features that extend your investment's lifespan.

Imagination Enablers

Every Kofyria bicycle is a blank canvas for adventure, deliberately styled to spark imagination while being robust enough to withstand the wildest of childhood expeditions.

Our Kofyria Family

Behind every Kofyria bicycle stands a diverse family of designers, engineers, parents, and former child adventurers themselves. We're united by our shared belief that childhood should be filled with outdoor exploration, physical activity, and the incomparable feeling of mastering something new.

Our workshop hums with innovation as we continuously refine our designs based on feedback from our most important critics – the children who ride our bicycles and the parents who invest in their joy. We don't follow trends; we create bicycles that become beloved childhood companions.

Our commitment extends beyond the point of sale. When you purchase a Kofyria bicycle, you're welcomed into our community of families who share tips, celebrate milestones, and swap stories of grand adventures on two wheels.
