Balance Bikes

The Easy Way to Learn to Ride

These bikes give kids the freedom to explore at their own pace. They’re not stuck on a schedule, they’re not being told how to ride, and they’re not relying on stabilisers that do the work for them. With every push, glide and tiny wobble, they’re learning to control their movement and build that riding instinct naturally.

Why Balance Bikes Are a Brilliant Idea for Kids

Kids balance bikes are the best way to help toddlers and young riders gain control and stability. These bikes are designed without pedals, letting kids push themselves forward and focus on steering and balance. They’re lightweight, low to the ground, and easy to handle, which means less frustration, fewer spills and a much easier transition to a proper pedal bike.

Plus, they’re safer than you might think. Because kids can use their feet to stop or steady themselves at any time, they stay in control from the start. They learn to trust their own sense of balance and quickly start zipping along like they’ve been riding for years.

Got a colour-obsessed mini dictator at home? We’ve made it easy. Shop by colour and explore our most popular pink ride-ons, black ride-ons and white ride-ons. There’s a style to suit every kid (and every tantrum).

Some bikes even come with sleek details, off-road tyres or cool decals that make them feel like the real deal. It's not just about looks either. A bike they’re proud of is one they’ll want to ride every single day.

Want their bike to feel truly theirs? Add a custom mini plate. It’s a quick way to give their ride a bit of personality and helps avoid mix-ups at the park. Choose their name, a nickname or something silly! It’s all part of the fun.

FAQs about Balance Bikes

Do kids actually use balance bikes?

Yes, they do. Once kids get the hang of pushing off and balancing, they’ll want to ride their balance bike everywhere. It becomes their go-to for trips to the park, school drop-offs and backyard adventures. These bikes are designed for fun, and kids naturally gravitate to that.

What age is best for a balance bike?

Most kids are ready from around 18 months, once they’re walking steadily. They’ll typically ride a balance bike until they’re about five years old.

How long does it take to learn?

Some toddlers start gliding in a few weeks. Others take a little longer. But even just shuffling around builds confidence and coordination.

Is a balance bike better than training wheels?

Yes. Balance bikes teach the one thing training wheels can't: balance. That’s why they make the jump to pedal bikes so much easier.
