When a child learns to ride a bike, the brand on the frame is almost always the same: Toimsa. The Valencian company has been the main supplier of officially licensed children's bicycles in Spain for decades (Peppa Pig, Bluey, Paw Patrol, Frozen, Minnie, Disney Princesses, Superman, Batman, SuperThings), and also exclusively distributes Huffy bikes. At Híper Ocio, we work with Toimsa as official distributors and maintain a strong stock throughout the year. In this guide, we'll tell you how to choose the wheel size according to the child's age, what models we currently have in stock, and the details that matter (brakes, training wheels, basket, doll carrier...).
We have organized the article by wheel sizes (10" balance bikes, then 12", 14", and 16") because it is the most important decision when buying a first bicycle. It concludes with official children's helmets and a section on how to take advantage of national shipping. All products listed are in real stock in our Albox (Almería) warehouse. If you still have doubts after reading, send us a WhatsApp message at 625 325 295 and we will help you choose the right size.
Toimsa (Toy Industria Manufacturera S.A.) is a Spanish company based in Ibi (Alicante), one of Europe's major toy capitals. It has been producing children's bicycles since the 1970s and is currently the official licensee in Spain for major children's franchises: Disney (Frozen, Princesses, Minnie, Mickey, Cars), Universal/Hasbro (Peppa Pig), Spin Master (Paw Patrol), BBC (Bluey), Magicbox (SuperThings) and Warner/DC (Batman, Superman). It also distributes Huffy bikes in Spain, the American brand specializing in themed bikes.
Their recognition is not only due to licenses: Toimsa bicycles comply with the European standard EN-71 (the child safety standard), are approved for use by minors, and, in models with training wheels, the front and rear brakes are usually well-calibrated from the factory. It is a product designed for store sales and for Christmas/First Communions, not for online sales without context.
For Híper Ocio, Toimsa bikes are one of our strongest sections during Christmas and First Communion seasons. We have been selling them for years with the manufacturer's backing and, in case any component fails (pedal, seat, training wheels), we manage spare parts through the official channel.
The most common mistake when buying a first bike is choosing the wrong size. It is not measured solely by the child's age: it is measured by their inseam height, which indicates whether their feet can reach the ground. As a general guide:
If you are in doubt between two sizes, the rule of thumb we give at the counter is: the child should be able to touch the ground with the tip of both feet while seated on the saddle. If they can only reach with one foot or their sole is dangling, the bike is too small or too big. In a physical store, they can try it; if you buy online and are in doubt, send us a WhatsApp message with the child's height, and we will confirm the size.
Balance bikes (also called "Rider Bikes") are the modern and recommended way to teach riding. The child pushes off the ground with their feet and learns balance without the complexity of pedaling. When they transition to a pedal bike, balance is already acquired, and training wheels are almost unnecessary. Here are the ones we have:
The first jump to a pedal bike. All Toimsa 12" bikes come with removable training wheels, front and rear brakes, and the frame is designed for the little one to get on and off effortlessly. Models in stock:
The intermediate size. For children who already pedal well and want more height, more speed, and, in many cases, are ready to remove the training wheels. All come with training wheels and can be removed when the child needs them less. Models in stock:
The "real" bike. For children who have already given up training wheels or are about to. Toimsa 16" bikes usually also come with removable training wheels, but the vast majority of children no longer use them at this size. Models in stock:
A helmet is not optional. In Spain, it is mandatory for children under 16 on any public road. Toimsa helmets at €17.99 are adjustable and come with the same themed design as the bikes, making it easy to create a set. Models in stock:
Counter recommendation: helmets are chosen by size (head circumference), not by age. Toimsa children's helmets are adjustable with a rear dial and usually cover 48-54 cm in circumference. If in doubt, measure around the child's head with a flexible tape measure (just above the eyebrows and ears) and check before buying.
Some bikes in the catalog bear the Huffy brand in addition to Toimsa. Huffy is a century-old American brand that holds the rights to many Disney licenses (Frozen, Princesses, Minnie, Mickey, Cars), and Toimsa is its official distributor in Spain. Huffy bikes usually have a slightly premium finish (better paint, somewhat sturdier components) and a slightly higher price. The ones we have are: Frozen 12" (€134.99), Disney Princesses 14" (€139.99), and Minnie 16" (€149).
Authorized official distributors. We work directly with Toimsa, not through resellers. Bicycles come from the official channel with sealed box, manual and EN-71 certificate.
Real stock throughout the year. The peak season for bicycles is Christmas and First Communions (May-June), but we maintain continuous stock of the best-selling models. If you see it available on the website, it is physically in the Albox warehouse.
The Martínez family has been selling children's bikes for decades. We have seen three generations of children learning to ride at our counter. When you call our WhatsApp asking if the 14" is too small for a 110 cm child, you'll be speaking to someone who has had the bike in front of them.
Free national shipping from €49.99. Toimsa bicycles are eligible for standard national shipping (they are not appliances). Bicycles fall within a price range that always exceeds the free shipping threshold, so they arrive at your home without transport costs. Only appliances, televisions, and air conditioners are restricted to the local Almanzora area.
Aplazame up to 12 months interest-free. If you combine a bike + helmet (or several bikes for siblings), you can split the payment with Aplazame. This is very useful at Christmas when gifts accumulate.
Real advice on sizing. Getting the wheel size right is the most important thing. If in doubt, message us on WhatsApp (625 325 295) with the child's height and age, and we'll advise you without obligation.
