I'm aware of the the financial considerations and that purchasing and reselling is probably cheaper in the long run, however just wondering if anyone has used a kids bike lease scheme like  https://thebikeclub.co/

In particular what condition the used bikes are in when you get them!?

Cheers!

Not sure how much you're willing to spend, but is this of any interest (not used it myself, but if bling is your thing its got to be worth a look)..

A mate has the 16” Hope bike for his kid, it’s brilliant. Nothing more to add...

There was a kid on one of those 16" Hope bikes at SSUK last year, by far the most bling and admired bike in the field, and with all the Ti at SSUK that's saying something!

Ha, TINAS, that’s the lad I’m talking about! He lead out the elite riders at the tweed love enduro too...

A couple of the kids at my lads Go Ride group have the Hope Academy bikes, and they are very nice indeed...

My lad has one of the Frog mountain bikes, the same type as the Bike Club hire. It's really very good as well... although we bought his as it didn't seem worthwhile doing the rental as he is on the largest one anyway. Some friends do the rental for their kids, and so far the support has been pretty good for them. The only issue they have had so far was a damaged frame when it arrived, and they had a new one in a couple of days.

Not sure what the second hand bikes will be like, am not sure they have really been running long enough for many bikes to have come back...
