A new pink color for the COGUMADE BIKE — a kick bike with an attachable pedal system designed for children aged 2 to 6 — is set to launch on June 13, 2026 (Saturday) across various online retailers.
Since its original release, the bike has built a strong following through word of mouth, with users praising its easy assembly and cute design. The new pink joins the existing lineup alongside tan, olive, and ash blue.
New Pink: Backed by the Most Popular Color Among Girls
According to survey data from the Gakken Educational General Research Institute's "Preschool White Paper (2025 Edition)"*1, pink is the number one favorite color among girls aged 4 to 6, with an approximately 70% support rate that far surpasses other colors.
The new pink was selected with a specific tone in mind — one that makes children's faces and complexions appear bright and healthy when riding. Soft pink is paired with black components on the handlebars and tires, resulting in a bicolor design that balances a cute look with a sporty edge.

From Kick Bike to Bicycle — One Bike That Grows With Your Child
COGUMADE BIKE starts as a kick bike and can later be converted into a pedal bicycle by attaching the included pedal unit. Because the child is already familiar with the bike's weight and handling, the transition to pedaling tends to feel more natural.
The bike's moderate weight — closer to that of a standard bicycle — helps with balance from early on. Children also get used to brake operation while in kick bike mode, helping support a smoother transition to riding a full bicycle.
Easy Assembly with a Dedicated Tool and Video Guide
Assembly is designed to be straightforward even for first-timers. A dedicated tool and a link to an instructional video are included with the bike.
Safety features include a U-frame for easy mounting and a chain cover to prevent clothing from getting caught. The frame has passed multiple strength tests based on JIS standards — including fatigue, drop impact, and F-fork strength tests — and a 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included.
The Story Behind the COGUMADE BIKE Name
The brand name reflects a mission of "supporting children until they can pedal a bike." It combines two meanings: "co–" representing cooperation and doing things together, and "cog," referring to a bicycle gear tooth. This is why the name starts with "C" rather than "K." The mascot is a bear cub (koguma in Japanese), with logo ears shaped like bicycle gears — a subtle nod to the brand identity that blends naturally with the bike's design.
