THINK BIKE RENTAL.
ONLY DIFFERENT.

Using our lightweight, durable components fitted to well-made,
high-quality frames, we've created bikes that kids will enjoy riding.

What makes us different?

The Academy is part of Hope Technology, one of the world leaders in engineering bicycle components. Since 1989, the company has been pushing the industry forward, designing, testing and manufacturing virtually all products in-house at our factory in Barnoldswick, the UK, and over that time the Hope brand has become synonymous with high-quality products and sustainability.

We have some of the best designers and engineers in the UK, so our kids’ bikes have the same specifications as adult bikes, just on a smaller frame. This allows us to make modifications such as fitting our Duo Brake or blanking the frame to make any size bike a balance bike.

We understand that each child has different biking needs which is why we offer a wide range of bikes. Whether your little one is tearing up the trails or riding on the road for family adventures, we’ve got you covered. 

Our monthly charges help to make this an affordable option.

  At Hope Academy we understand the important role cycling and bike clubs can play in your child’s cycling journey, and the freedom being a member of a club can give them. Whether it’s part of a coached session or group rides, clubs can help young riders develop their skills and confidence, as well as build their love of shredding with other kids who share their passion.   

To help find the right club for your child we have put together a ‘Bike Club Finder’ so once you have received your new bike, you can find the closest club to help kick-start your child’s journey on a bike.

With the help of Guy Martin we go behind the factory door, for a light-hearted look at how things are made at the Hope Academy HQ.

The new workforce can get a bit hangry, and never interrupt nap time, but production is up!
