Children's bicycles

If you list products on our store, you must comply with all federal, state, and local laws and our policies applicable to those products and product listings, including this policy.

Children's bicycles covered by this policy

A children’s bicycle is a two-wheeled vehicle that has a rear-drive wheel that is solely human-powered and a seat height of 25 inches or less, or is designed or intended for use by children 12 years of age or younger.

This policy does not cover one-of-a-kind bicycles made to the order of an individual without assembling stock or production parts. This policy also does not cover track bicycles that are designed and intended for use in competition and have tubular tires, with a single crank–to-wheel ratio, and no freewheeling feature.
