Many children begin using balance bikes when they're around 2 years old, and most love the thrill of racing off on them. Balance bikes provide great training for balance and coordination. Additionally, they are brilliant for giving small tired legs a break during walks. In our extensive selection, you'll find popular retro-style models from Banwood, Trybike, and balance bikes from Puky.
Which balance bike should I buy?
We offer balance bikes for children in a wide range of sizes and models, both with two wheels and three wheels. It is very important to buy a model that fits the child's size. The child should be able to touch the ground with their flat foot and slightly bent knees. You can find the dimensions of each bike on our website.
The Banwood balance bike is a lovely balance bike in a classic old-school look with exquisite details, which undoubtedly stands out and will become a cherished childhood memory passed down through generations. The balance bike is made of metal with a bell that matches the frame color, a woven detachable bike basket, and brown details on the seat and handlebars.
The Banwood 'First Go' is the perfect first bike that enhances and develops balance and mobility and eases the transition to a regular bike. With a Banwood balance bike, the child learns to balance while keeping both feet on the ground. The child gains a sense that a bike can topple over and does not get a 'false security' with training wheels. An excellent bike for children from about 3-5 years old.
The Bobbin balance bike is perfect for the 2-4-year-olds about to embark on their cycling adventure. This balance bike features handcrafted parts, a shiny finish, a beautiful brown saddle, stylish brown handles, pneumatic tires, a bell, and a lovely woven basket. A lightweight, simple, and classic beginner balance bike.
The Bobbin Gingersnap is the perfect first bike, promoting and developing balance and mobility, and facilitates the transition to a regular bike. It's a great bike for learning balance without that 'false security' with training wheels.
Puky balance bikes and scooters are designed to match the child's age stage.
Puky Classic xl balance bike is recommended for children from 3 years, with a height of 95-130cm and an inseam of 39-52cm. The handlebars and saddle can be adjusted to fit the child's development.
The balance bike features an aluminum frame, low entry, and footboard, handlebar padding, special balance bike saddle, ball-bearing wheels and handlebars, safety grips, quiet pneumatic tires, a kickstand, and impact-resistant powder coating.
The Puky balance bike with EVA foam wheels is part of a series of quality balance bikes that guarantee maximal riding joy and are suitable for children from 2 years old. This model is recommended for kids with a height of 85 cm and an inseam of 30cm. The bike measures a full length of 73cm and the length from saddle to handlebar is 50cm. The lowest saddle setting from the ground is 29cm. The balance bike is without a brake but features low entry and footboard, handlebar padding, a special balance bike saddle, ball-bearing wheels and handlebars, safety grips, high-quality foam tires, and impact-resistant powder coating.
If you're looking for a bike for a child from 1 year, Puky has created what they call a balance trainer, which is ideal as a precursor to a balance bike. It's designed to enhance your child's movement desires and balance and motor skills development.
What's the difference between a balance bike with pneumatic tires versus one with EVA foam wheels?
A balance bike with EVA foam is suitable for indoor use but can certainly be used outdoors. With solid foam wheels, you avoid punctures or having to pump air into the tires. A balance bike with regular pneumatic tires rolls more easily and is suitable for use on asphalt. A balance bike with pneumatic tires weighs less than one with solid wheels.
Trybike is Dutch-designed balance bikes that, in a very short time, have become very popular, practically flying off the shelves. The balance bikes are designed with a lovely retro look with brown details on the saddle and handlebars. A balance bike from Trybike is a brilliant start to life as a cyclist. If balancing proves too challenging, the bikes are designed to easily convert into a tricycle with the purchase of a wheel set. Similarly, a tricycle can be reconverted into a classic two-wheel balance bike without the need for extra parts.
The bike is made of steel with powder coating and features pneumatic tires that can be used by children from 2-6 years. The front wheel can be set to 2 heights and the saddle height can be adjusted from 10-45 cm to fit the child's development. The frame has a small footrest for when the child finds its balance and races off.
The bike is intended for outdoor use, but Trybike recommends it be stored indoors when not in use.
Trybike won the Baby Innovation Award in 2018.
I hope this has made it a bit clearer as to which balance bike is the right fit for your child's new cycling journey.
