Balance is the first element that needs to be mastered when learning to ride, and the balance bike is a good teaching tool for young children to quickly master this important skill. Kids run wild on these bikes because they feel more confident and in better control. Plus, kids starting out on balance bikes often skip the tricycle and assist wheels and jump right onto the pedal bike when they're old enough!

Advantages of children's balance bikes

start learning earlier
Start using a balance bike when your child is 18 months old! The smallest assist-wheeled bikes are usually still too big for this age group, yet younger kids can ride on a balance bike with ease.

Increase confidence and control
When kids put their feet on the ground, they feel more comfortable, which is why a balance bike can help them increase their confidence in cycling. They can intuitively learn to balance, corner and steer without feeling like they will fall over.

easy ride
Kids can ride farther without getting tired, and can traverse different terrains with ease because the balance bike allows kids to sit and glide quickly with their feet. They have the freedom to ride wherever they want on grass, pavement and gravel, and whatever they love!

learn the right balance
The biggest benefit of balance bikes over auxiliary wheels is that children learn proper balance. Since the assist wheels make kids lean to one side, they have to relearn balance once they get on the pedal bike. Most kids who start out on balance bikes get up and running quickly and feel more confident!
