Back to School Bikes: Affordable Refurbished Second-Hand Kids’ Bikes
Looking for a quality second-hand kids’ bike that’s safe, better for the planet and supports a charity? You’ve found it. 🚲
Skip the school-run rush and glide into the new school year on two wheels. No traffic jams, no frantic parking, just a quicker, greener way to get to school.
We’ve got a great selection of second-hand kids’ bikes and children’s bikes, including lightweight bikes from some of the biggest names in cycling.
And because every bike is professionally refurbished, you can find a quality, safe bike for less than you might expect. Better still, your purchase helps someone else get on two wheels, too.
Looking for a quality cheap kids’ bike? Try refurbished second-hand
Kids grow quickly. That can make buying a brand-new bike feel like a big investment, especially when you know they might outgrow it in a couple of years.
That’s where second-hand kids’ bikes come in. Buying a pre-owned bike can be a great way to get a quality bike for less. Instead of paying the full price for a brand-new children’s bike, you can find a pre-loved bike that already has plenty of life left in it.
But there’s an important difference between simply buying a used bike and buying a refurbished second-hand bike. A used bike has had a previous owner. A refurbished bike has had a previous owner and has then been checked, repaired and prepared for its next rider.
That’s one way our bikes stand out.
Your second-hand bike purchase helps another child get on two wheels
There’s another reason to buy your next kids’ bike from us.
Your purchase helps support our work providing bikes to refugees and people seeking asylum.
For a child receiving a bike through The Bike Project, having their own bike can help them get around more independently, including making journeys to school, activities and other everyday places.
So while your child gets a great second-hand bike, your purchase helps another child get the chance to experience the freedom of riding their own bike, too.
One bike bought. Two children supported!!
Buying used is better for your wallet and the planet
A new bike requires new materials and resources to manufacture. Buying a used or second-hand bike gives an existing bike another life instead.
It’s a simple way to make a more sustainable choice when shopping for a children’s bike. Rather than automatically buying new, you can keep a good quality bike in use for longer.
And because children can outgrow bikes quickly, buying pre-owned can make particular sense. You can spend less on a bike they’ll love now, while helping to reduce the demand for new products and keeping an existing bike out of landfill.
Second-hand doesn’t mean second best!
Kids’ bike spotlight: Islabikes BEINN24
If you’re looking for a lightweight, high-quality 24-inch kids’ bike, take a look at the Islabikes BEINN24.
This pre-owned children’s bike is a great example of what you can find when you shop refurbished. The BEINN24 has a lightweight aluminium frame, 24-inch wheels and an 8-speed SRAM gear system. It weighs around 9kg, making it a relatively light option for a children’s bike.
What makes the Islabikes BEINN24 a great choice?
🚲 Lightweight aluminium frame
A lighter bike can be easier for children to handle, manoeuvre and ride confidently. The BEINN24’s aluminium frame helps keep the overall weight down.

The bike has an SRAM 8-speed gear system with twist-grip handlebar shifters, giving young riders a useful range of gears for different routes.
⛰️ Gearing for hills
The BEINN24 uses a 30T single chainset with an 11/32T 8-speed SRAM cassette and long derailleur cage. That gives riders a useful spread of gears for everyday riding, including tackling hills.
🛑 Tektro V-brakes
Reliable brakes are important on any children’s bike. The BEINN24 comes with Tektro V-brakes, giving young riders control when slowing down and sto
⭕ 24-inch wheels
The 24-inch wheels make this a great option for children who have outgrown smaller kids’ bikes and are ready for a larger bike.
And because this is a refurbished Islabikes BEINN24, you’re getting all of those features without buying the bike brand new.
