Brilliant bike, light enough to manoeuvre but not too light so as to be jumpy for the learner.
So good that it has brakes for balance bike, which is rare.

Perfect First Bike – my 4 year old was ready to pedal but liked her balance bike too much, despite it being far too small. We decided to buy the Rookie 14 as it was a great 2 in 1 bike for her as she got to build up her confidence on a larger bike in balance format and within 2 months she asked for the pedals to go on. We put the pedals on and she literally just rode off without a second thought 🙂

Rookie 14 Balance Bike – Blue
Having mastered the Rookie 12 balance bike, we upgraded to the Rookie 14 for her birthday. Our 3.5 year old daughter loved the colour and couldn’t wait to get on. We first assembled it as a balance bike but it was quickly apparent she was ready for pedals so we promptly changed it over and within 10 minutes she could ride! So pleased with the quality and service from Kidvelo would highly recommend!

This is a super lightweight bike, and it is very easy for our little daughter to handle. This is her first bike. It is great way for her to learn pedalling as she now uses it as a balance bike. It seems to be easy and straightforward to do the conversion when the time comes. Our daugher is very excited about having this bike and she keeps asking us go to the park with it all the time. I’d think she’d score it 10/10!

The Absolute Best Way to Learn to Ride!
This bike is nothing short of revolutionary. We completely bypassed the dreaded training wheels phase. Our 4-year-old spent a month mastering his balance and gliding around like a pro. When we decided it was time, we attached the pedal kit in about 10 minutes. He hopped on and was pedalling independently within the hour. No fear, no tears, no frustration. The quality is fantastic and it’s light enough for him to handle on his own. Best money we’ve ever spent on a kids’ product.

A Grandparent’s Dream Gift
We wanted a special gift for our granddaughter’s 4th birthday and the Rookie 14 was perfect. It’s an incredibly well-made bike that feels safe and sturdy. The real magic is that it grows with her. Watching her gain confidence in balance mode and then seeing the pure joy on her face when she started pedalling was a priceless memory. It’s two bikes in one and an incredible value.

Simply a Game-Changer
If you’re debating this purchase, just do it. This bike is a game-changer for teaching kids to ride. The transition from balance to pedals was ridiculously smooth. Brilliant design!

Worth the Investment a Hundred Times Over
I’ll admit, I hesitated at the price initially, but now I see it’s a bargain. Instead of buying a cheap balance bike and then a separate pedal bike, you get one premium, lightweight aluminium bike that does both jobs perfectly. The build quality is exceptional – it will easily last for our younger child too. The low-profile frame gave our daughter so much confidence, and the easy-to-use brakes are a fantastic safety feature. This isn’t just a bike; it’s an investment in a crucial life skill, taught the right way.

Ingenious and Practical Design
We live in a unit with limited storage, so the 2-in-1 concept was a huge selling point. The Rookie 14 saved us from having to store two different bikes! The conversion process is straightforward, and the bike itself is so light that I can easily carry it up the stairs. It’s a smart, practical solution for modern families.

Built for Confidence, Not Tears
Our older child had a terrible experience with training wheels, which left him scared of riding. We were determined to do it differently this time. The Kidvelo Rookie 14 was the answer. It allowed our daughter to learn at her own pace and master the most important skill—balance—first. When she was ready for pedals, she already felt safe and in control. This bike builds confidence and makes learning to ride a genuinely joyful experience.

The ‘Aha!’ Moment Was So Fast!
We were absolutely stunned at how quickly our son picked it up. He used it as a balance bike for a few weeks over summer. One Saturday afternoon, we decided to try the pedals. He wobbled for about five metres, and then something just clicked. He was off! The foundation of balance he’d already built made all the difference.

Transformed Our Family Outings
Before we got the Rookie 14, our son would complain about tired legs on walks. Now, he glides along beside us, easily keeping up and often leading the way! It has made our trips to the park and walks along the waterfront so much more fun for everyone. It’s lightweight enough to pop in the car or carry when needed. A fantastic way to encourage active, outdoor family time.

One Word: Brilliant.
Fantastic concept, superb quality, and our son absolutely loves it. The ability to switch from a balance bike to a pedal bike on the same frame is genius. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase and highly recommend it to any parent.

Bought the bike for our granddaughter’s 3rd birthday while visiting her and her family. She absolutely loves the bike. And it fits her perfectly. The bike is well made and will last for many years as she has room to grow! She had the Rookie 14.

It’s great to know the fit is just right and that she’ll have plenty of room to grow. That’s exactly what we designed the Rookie range for—long-lasting fun and confidence as little riders develop.
We hope she enjoys many happy adventures on her bike!
