The Pokemon Company International and Ides announced two new variants of Pokemon Bicycles for kids in Japan. One features a Charizard theme, while the other is a generic “Blue Party” option based on characters like Blastoise, Garchomp, Gengar, Greninja, and Lucario. The 16 inch model costs ¥27,280 (~$180), while the 18 inch version is ¥28,380 (~$187). The smaller of the two bikes is recommended for children around three and a half and up, while the larger is for ones around four and a half to six. Each design is available in both sizes.

Both of the bicycles feature a similar sort of design, only with different Pokemon on the cover near the pedals and crank and different color schemes. The Charizard one features a red frame with the series’ logo on the down tube, and blue accents on the tires. It also features a matching red seat. The Blue Party version has a blue frame and matching seat and white accents on the tires. Both feature black baskets on the front of the bike, optional training wheels with Poke Balls on them, and a Poke Ball on the handlebar that can open to hold a Pokemon figure. As an example, the sample photo showed a Pikachu inside, even though the bikes don’t come with any figures. 

Here are the official Ides photos of the bikes. These included some close-up shots to show the Poke Ball training wheels and handlebar accessory.

The Ides Pokemon Charizard and Blue Party bicycles are available in Japan now. The next game is Pokemon Legends: Z-A for the Switch and Switch 2, and that debuts on October 16, 2025.
