Balance bikes for children

Balance bicycles are bikes without pedals designed for toddlers. Balance bikes or toddler bikes are good for building balance, coordination and confidence. 
At Eurocycles, we stock balance bikes with robust and lightweight frames that are easy to use and durable.  

How do balance bikes work?

Balance bikes are smaller and lighter than bicycles with stabilisers. Pedal-less, they come with adjustable saddles to fit your child's size and puncture-resistant pneumatic tyres for extra comfort. They are smaller than bikes with stabilisers and perfect for kids from 18 months to 5 years old. Our balance bicycles are fitted with features like lightweight aluminium frames, footrests and steering wheel regulators for extra safety. 

What age kid are balance bikes for?

From 2 years old, children are, on average, physically and developmentally ready to start using a balance bike. We'd encourage you to get your toddlers on a balance bicycle as soon as they feel confident. Riding a balance bike is an excellent means to exercise and develop balance and coordination. 

At what age do you stop using a balance bike?

While it depends on your child's confidence, balance bikes are designed for children 18 months old up to 5 years old. After five years old, kids usually are ready for their first bikes and will want to start using pedals. If you wonder what bike to buy after a balance bike, why not check our kid's bike buying guide?

Are balance bikes worth it?

Toddler's bikes are a safe way to introduce your child to cycling. They promote your child's coordination and teach them to balance on two wheels so they can progress to bikes with pedals effortlessly. 
More often than not, kids who learnt to steady themselves on a balance bicycle will not need to use stabilisers on a pedal bike. Balance bikes are a great way to make their riding progress faster and their overall riding enjoyment more important.

If you are still unsure about which balance bike is best for your child, we will be happy to help you out. You can visit our stores, call us or chat with us now.
