Welcome To The World Of Balance Bikes

Hi, I’m Terry. Welcome to your home for kids’ balance bikes.

A balance bike (also known as a push, glide or running bike), is a small two-wheeled bicycle that is designed for children aged 18 months and up. They’re called balance bikes for the simple reason that they help your child learn basic balance skills by allowing them to put their feet to the ground as needed and coast along as they get more comfortable.

These unique bikes are designed without pedals and rely solely on your child’s ability to propel them by running them with their feet (Fred Flintstone Style). With the ground in such close contact with their feet, the chances of crashes are greatly reduced, which acts as a great confidence booster for your child.

The transition from walking to full out gliding on these kids’s bikes comes exceptionally fast with young children. They pick up the skills by pushing their own boundaries with the ability to keep themselves from getting too banged up in the process, which is great for building their self esteem.

Children’s bikes have come a long way from traditional tricycles and training wheel bikes. The balance bike has forever changed the culture of your child’s first bike. My wife and I debated each other on the very topic of “balance bike versus tricycle”. I won the debate and was super stoked to buy my son his first running bike.

We offer many of the most popular balance bikes for kids in metal and wooden styles as well as an ongoing database of balance bike reviews. Wooden balance bikes are typically a little more expensive but are beautifully handcrafted and modeled after popular motorcycles and scooters. Metal balance bikes offer simple and functional lightweight frames that come in the most popular colors.

I’m very happy that you’ve made the choice to buy your child a balance bike. The moment you see that huge smile on your kid’s face once their feet come off the ground is truly heart warming and inspiring.

Sincerely

-Terry
