I have a very tall 5 year old boy who also has autism. We’ve bought 2 balance bikes but unfortunately he just wasn’t interested in them and he ended up being too tall for them. I searched for bigger balance bikes just to see as I didn’t think you would get such a thing and Kidvelo Bikes came up and yes they are expensive but if you weigh up the price of a balance bike then move onto a normal bike it works out just the same. My little boy always wants to go on his bike now where as before with the other bikes he just didn’t want to take much interest in it. Highly recommend Kidvelo bikes. I love the idea of the balance bike then you can add the pedals. He really loves his bike now.

We bought an 18″ bike from Kidvelo for our 5-year-old son based on their recommendation—and it’s been a game changer. The support, fast delivery, and helpful documentation made the whole process easy. After struggling with a heavy bike with stabilisers that knocked his confidence, switching to Kidvelo’s balance-to-pedal design reignited his interest and progress. Within weeks, he was confidently balancing again, and soon he’ll be ready for pedals. This isn’t just a quality bike—it’s helped our son rediscover the joy of riding. Thank you, Kidvelo!

We bought a Rookie 18 for our 7 year old who has special needs. We were worried that she wouldn’t get on with a bike at all, but she seemed to intuitively know what to do and immediately got on. She has low muscle tone but the bike is so light that it didn’t matter. We were in tears watching her! So happy with this purchase.

This bike was great for our 7 year old granddaughter. We initially bought a 14 inch and she shared it with her twin sister. We quickly realised that they were gaining balance on these far more quickly than on their old bikes with stabilisers.
Looking at the size, we decided to get the larger bike for the second one. (They are small for their age, but seemed ready for the large size.)
Now they are both happily pedalling, and love riding their bikes.
We had a small problem with the back wheel on the smaller bike, when adding the pedals. This was quickly resolved by Nicole from Kidvelo.
Gaining balance on bikes like these, which are readily converted, is definitely the way to go.
