Balance Bikes, Tricycles & Ride On

A balance bike is the ideal first step for introducing a child to the world of cycling and is suitable for children from 2 to 5 years old. Since it has no pedals, the child sits on the saddle and pushes off the ground with their feet to move. In this way, they focus exclusively on how to maintain their balance and how to steer the handlebars, without the confusion caused by trying to learn how to pedal at the same time. It is a natural learning method that boosts self-confidence and body coordination from a very young age. For your little one to enjoy their first rides in absolute safety, it is essential to combine the bike with a kids' helmet or even with knee and elbow pads, for fearless play!

A child can typically start using a balance bike around the age of 18 months to 2 years old, and can continue using it up to the age of 5. However, the right time does not depend solely on age, but on the child's physical readiness. The key milestone is that they can walk and run with confidence, without easily losing their stability. Once the child reaches this stage (usually around 18 to 24 months), they are ready to sit on the saddle. An important technical criterion is their height: when sitting on the bike, their feet should touch the ground completely flat with their knees slightly bent, so they can push off and brake safely.

Yes, balance bikes are divided into categories based on the child's age, height, and developmental stage, ensuring proper ergonomics and safety. For very young toddlers (1 to 2 years old), the bikes are usually low, made of plastic or wood, and often feature three or four wheels for extra stability. For children aged 2 to 3 years old, we transition to classic two-wheeled models with 10- or 12-inch puncture-proof foam (EVA) wheels, while for ages 4 to 5 years old, the bikes feature a larger frame, pneumatic (rubber) tires for better traction, and even a handbrake.
