Push bikes and balance bikes

The purpose of a push bike / balance bike

Nothing is more exciting than your first bike: the joy of being able to go anywhere you want, faster and easier than before with a huge smile on your face is unmatched. The best way to keep a smile on your face is to learn how to ride with confidence and nothing is better for that than a push/balance bike.

Push bikes come without pedals to help kids build their bike skills step by step without overwhelming them too early. When kids learn how to ride a bike through a push bike, they develop balance, control and confidence while riding at an early age which helps them adapt to pedals as they age.

Even though push bikes / balance bikes come without pedals, once kids are ready for the next step a pedal can be installed, so you don’t have to buy another bike. Push bikes / balance bikes range from 12” to 14”. Sizing kids on both size tires before purchasing is always a good tip.
