A new school year. A new routine. Maybe a new city.
So, which bike is right for you?
The answer depends less on your age and more on your height and how you use your bike.
How do you choose the right bike size?
Most bike guides start with age. We start with height.
A 7-year-old who is 130 cm will ride more comfortably on a different size than a classmate who is 118 cm. The same applies for students: a 28-inch city bike requires a minimum height of 164 cm - regardless of whether you are 17 or 24.
Below, you will find the Veloretti guide based on height and stage of life.
The Junior - 20 inch (height up to 136 cm, ages 4-8)
The Veloretti Junior 20 inch is built for children who are ready for more: more independence, more speed, more confidence. The lightweight aluminium frame makes the bike agile enough for busy school playgrounds and quiet streets alike.
For: children up to approx. 136 cm | ages 4–8 Wheel size: 20 inch Material: aluminium frame
From Junior to 28 inch
There comes a point when the Junior becomes too small, while an adult bike is not yet the right fit.
Our City and Electric models are designed for riders from 164 cm. For children who are still growing, the transition to an adult bike may have to wait a little longer.
From 164 cm, our 28-inch models are designed for a new stage of independent riding and longer journeys.
City - 28 inch (164 cm and taller)
Veloretti City Bikes are designed for everyday city life, from the ride to work or school to meeting friends across town. The aluminum frame is built for daily use, while keeping the bike light enough to carry upstairs.
For: 164 cm and taller
Wheel size: 28 inch
Weight: approx 14 kg
Ideal for: short urban rides, students, daily commuting
Electric - Ace Two & Ivy Two (164 cm and taller)
Some distances are simply too far for a regular bike. Or you want to arrive without the extra effort.
The Ace Two and Ivy Two are electric bikes designed for longer journeys. The integrated motor supports you along the way, while the design keeps the experience distinctly Veloretti.
For: 164 cm and taller - students and commuters with longer routes
Wheel size: 28 inch
Weight: 27–30 kg (with motor)
Range: up to approx. 100 km per charge

FAQ
At Veloretti, the rider’s height is the most important factor when choosing the right bike, rather than age. For children between 118 cm and 136 cm, choose the Junior (20-inch kids’ bike). From 164 cm, you can move up to our 28-inch adult models, such as the City Step-through or the electric Ivy Two. For taller riders, the City Step-over (from 168 cm) and Ace Two e-bike (from 173 cm) offer the best fit.
For children between 136 cm and 164 cm, the transition to an adult bike will have to wait a little longer.
Both are electric bikes with the same motor and range. The main difference is the frame: the Ace Two has a step-over frame, while the Ivy Two has a step-through frame for easier mounting.
