Product Information

As they gain confidence riding, you can gradually let go, but stay ready to grab them under the armpits if necessary. Boosting balance and coordination: The primary purpose of balance bikes is to teach children how to balance. By allowing them to use their feet to push and glide, these bikes enable kids to develop a sense of equilibrium, helping them progress to regular bikes effortlessly. Teaching young children how to ride a bike has become more scientific nowadays. Bike manufacturers have found a way to make it easier by separating balancing and pedaling.

Balance bikes are the best introduction to two wheels for kids. Your child won't have to worry about The Kidvelo Rookie 14 is designed to help older/taller kids transition from a balance bike to a pedal-powered bike. They can start off using it as a balance bike, complete with a footrest. As the child’s confidence and balance progress, they will naturally start pushing faster and exploring further. This is great for their confidence and fitness. Without the limitation of stabilisers, the child can also develop their cornering skill, learning to lean and shift their weight as the bike moves beneath them. Most adults learnt to ride on stabilisers, making them the obvious way of teaching their own children . Many people are also well aware that it's standard for small bikes to include training wheels. You can expect this in bicycles from sizes of 12" up to 16".

Here are some of the key considerations when selecting a balance bike for your little one. Benefits of balance bikes Training wheels, also called stabilisers, have been used for decades – and they worked for most of us in our early years (as far as we can remember…).

Stabilisers can also really help with learning the pedalling action in a controlled and safe way, which can help to build muscle memory as well as developing muscle strength. Brakes are very much an optional extra on balance bikes. With the lower ride height and speeds, kids can rely on their feet to slow and stop the bike. However, what you save on brakes you may lose on shoe wear. Balance bikes are often the perfect choice for a child’s first bike. You can, however, find balance bikes for older kids, where our bikes are recommended for up to 7 year olds. Balance bike or bike with stabilisers?The last thing of note on the wheels is the first thing you will notice if you need to remove a wheel: the axle bolts. While easy to overlook when considering a bike, large or exposed axle bolts can create a safety hazard for both your child and your flooring. Sharp edges on exposed bolts can cause injury in the event of a fall or even just if your child catches a leg on them. Some manufacturers equip balance bikes with plastic covers for exposed bolts, or they have rounded bolts, or, best of all, recessed bolts that sit flush with the frame and fork for a safe, smooth finish. Serviceability Generally speaking they tend to mount directly to the rear dropout of the bike, this is usually with a bolt mount on a single speed bicycle. Colors and graphics that your child likes are undeniably important, but there are other features to consider first: Avoid any sort of suspension until they’re almost in their teens as they won’t have the strength for the added weight.
