Ride on balance bikes. Finally a product where the name says it all.
These bikes come without pedals and are the first step in your child’s motor skill development to prepare them to ride a bicycle later as they progress. Balance bikes are the safe, easy way to ensure that your child is on the road to a life of riding activity.
Now we aren't telling Oprah how to do her job, but at RideOns.com.au, we firmly believe that there is no gift more important for a growing child than a balance bike. Balance bikes ensure that your little ones’ confidence level is ready to move to a big boy (or big girl) bike and makes it easier to master the skills required to ride a bicycle without training wheels. If your child has already outgrown their balance bike, then why not consider a motorised ride on or pedal car to encourage them into taking the next steps in their ride on journey?
If your child is a bit of a Verruca Salt and communicates "clearly" about his or her colour choice, then perhaps the best place to start shopping for your ride on balance bike is using our colour collections. We have a collection of ride ons in every colour of the rainbow, but we've helped you out by pointing you towards our most popular colours. Check out our pink ride ons, black ride ons and white ride ons collections today!
If you are in the process of purchasing, or have already purchased a ride on balance bike, then don't forget to add a custom mini plate, the perfect addition to transform a stock standard ride on into an individual masterpiece.

If your mini-me is still struggling with the mechanics of pedals, a pedal car or go kart is a great way for them to get the hang of it in a fun and sturdy vehicle, no balance required.
Of course, the trusty scooter is a perennial favourite. It complements a bike or ride on, as it works different muscles and helps kids develop their coordination and balance skills in a slightly different way.
Some one-year-olds can handle a small balance bike pretty well. But if your toddler is still a bit unsteady on their feet, a push car is a fantastic option until they’re a little older.
The mechanics of a push car are the same as a balance bike, so your child can learn how to use their feet and body to push themselves along on a sturdy base with four wheels. No one is left behind in the ride on revolution!

Most kids are ready for a balance bike from about 18 months, and it’s best to introduce them as soon as your little one is walking and running confidently without assistance. So introducing a balance bike for toddlers to your child around the age of 18 months to 2 years means they’ll get the most use out of it. However, there’s no upper age limit, and kids aged 3-5 will still enjoy a balance bike until they’re ready to master pedals.
Balance bikes are really effective at helping toddlers and young kids develop their balance and coordination. Because balance bikes have no pedals, they’re easy to use without adult assistance, even for the youngest children. So they can also boost confidence and independence.
Balance bikes are designed to help kids learn to ride bikes in a natural way. Children who’ve mastered a balance bike can usually progress onto a standard pedal bike much faster than those coming from tricycles or bikes with stabilisers or training wheels because they’ve already learned the tricky skill of balancing on two wheels.
Most kids love riding balance bikes because they’re so easy to use. As long as you have enough space, a balance bike will surely be a favourite piece of play equipment until your child outgrows it.
Tricycles and balance bikes for kids both have their pros and cons. In general, balance bikes are easier for kids to use on their own and are safer because pedalling too fast or tipping over the bike is not an issue.
Younger toddlers may take several more months before they can balance and glide freely on a balance bike, but they will still have lots of fun shuffling along with their feet! Older kids may take only a few months to master the balance bike.
