Balance bikes for toddlers are designed as training bikes for children 2-4 years old. They are a great gift for a preschooler/toddler that simply wants to move a little faster around the neighbourhood. Getting a balance bike makes sure your toddler or kid can have fun on two wheels, even if they have no experience riding a bike.

Kids balance bikes are a perfect way to introduce your toddler to the wonderful world of cycling. Balance bikes are also known as toddler training bikes without a drivetrain or pedals. Our balance bikes are 30% lighter compared to other kids’ bikes, making them super easy to handle and learn how to ride a bike. A Kidvelo balance bike is a fantastic way to help your child first learn balance, steering, and control before learning how to pedal. Once Balance has been mastered then the transition to a kid’s first pedal bike is made much easier.

What is the best age for a balance bike?

To get the most use out of a balance bike, the best age to start a child riding a balance bike is between 18 months and 2.5 years. Starting them young will not only allow them to happily ride their bike independently for all of their toddler’s years, but it will also allow them to move up to a pedal bike by age 3 or 4.

What makes Kidvelo bikes so unique is that we have designed a balance bike range that will suit older kids who have never learned how to ride a bike. Our 2-in-1 Rookie14 balance bike converts to a kids pedal bike with the add-on pedal kit for kids aged 3-6 years old. Have an older or larger child? Our 2-in-1 Rookie18 balance bike converts to a larger 18″ wheeled kids pedal bike with the add-on pedal kit for kids aged 5-8 years old giving kids of all ages and abilities the ability to ride a bike for the first time without training wheels or stabilizers.

How do you ride a balance bike?

Balance bikes are really simple for kids to ride and often they won’t even need any guidance on how to use the bike. To ride the balance bike, kids sit on the low saddle while holding the handlebars. Then to move forward they can walk, run, stride or glide, depending on their confidence and experience.

Even smaller more timid kids can start on a balance bike by standing over the frame, in front of the saddle, and just walk normally. By holding the handlebars and getting used to the weight and feel of the bike, their coordination will improve and they can progress to riding while seated.
