Balance bikes for first riders

Get the little ones involved in family bike rides with their first balance bike! Made for kiddos still learning the basics, your tyke can gain confidence while feeling part of the crew. They come in a wide range of styles and colours, so they can fit right in their own way. And don't forget the helmet!

A balance bike for every little one

Before they can ride, kids need to balance. A kids’ balance bike helps them get a feel for steering and staying stable before adding pedals. As they grow, they can move up to different bikes, including their first kids’ pedal bike.

Toddler balance bikes for first wheels

Some kids may be ready for sitting on a balance bike, but not quite ready to push themselves along. This is where choosing a style with a removable push handle can help you push them along, just until their little legs are strong enough to do the job. When they are, you can remove the handle and let them go.

Kids' balance bikes for growing riders

As your kids grow, our balance bikes can grow with them. Our adjustable styles let you start them on a toddler balance bike with removable push handles, switching them to riding without guidance before they move onto pedals. It's a bike that works at their pace.

Cute styles, including baskets, race prints and more

Every kid is different. That's why we've got bikes in every colour and style so you can make sure they love every bit of learning to ride. While some bikes have baskets and tassels, others have race themes or their favourite characters. There’s something for every little one.

Balance bike FAQs

What age is a balance bike for?

Around 18 months is typically the age kids can start to use a balance bike, although it comes down more to height and confidence than age. A good sign your kid may be ready for a balance bike is if they’re able to walk steadily and sit comfortably on a seat without assistance.

How does a balance bike help kids learn to ride?

A balance bike helps kids learn to ride a bike by teaching them balance and steering before adding in pedals. Because they can push themselves along with their feet, balance bikes also help kids build up their confidence at their own pace, as well as getting used to moving on two wheels.

When should kids move from a balance bike to a regular bike?

Kids are usually ready to move on to a regular bike when they can glide, steer and stop with control on their own on their own balance bike. Once they can lift their feet and coast along without wobbling, they are likely ready to try a pedal bike.
