#1. Peppa’s Bicycle
A lovely one to start the little ones off. This game features Peppa Pig and her familiar friends, and lets your child either race against Peppa’s pals or freewheel on their own. While riding, you’ll need to dodge ducks, rocks, muddy puddles and even the odd dinosaur. Tapping the screen makes Peppa’s bike jump, and you can change the speed and collect stars to boost your score.
Available free for iOS and Android.
#2. Mario BMX Champ
Super Mario is a familiar face to most kids, and in this game he’s riding his BMX over bumpy, challenging tracks. It’s playable online, using the arrow keys to ride and balance the BMX through each level’s obstacles.
Available free online.
#3. Kids Bike Wash
Bike games often lean toward the boys, so this one is a nice option to get younger girls started with apps too. Get your bike prepared and fixed up for a big day out — choose the design, wash it, repair it, and even create your own colour scheme and custom basket.
Available for iOS and Android.

#5. Uphill Rush 2
An exciting game that lets players race a variety of tracks on a motorcycle, skateboard or car.

#7. Bike Rivals
Hop on your bike and face some of the toughest tracks around, complete with loops of death, deep caverns and explosive platforms. The game starts fast, so it’s a good pick for newer players who don’t want to spend hours building up bike skills before the fun starts.
Available for iOS and Android.
#8. Extreme Stunts
This one takes things up a notch and definitely isn’t the easiest game on the list. The levels get trickier as you progress, so it’s worth taking it slowly. There’s no time limit, so kids can build up their skills at their own pace, and they can collect energy balls along the obstacle course for extra points.
Available free online.
