KIDS BALANCE BIKE BRANDS

Bringing you the balance bikes for the next generation! We offer a wide variety of pedal-less bikes for toddlers ranging from 2-in-1 to convertible with easy steps. Kids learning to ride their first bike need a steady bike that can easily balance on their feet. The bikes at our end have a lower center of gravity to ease such difficulties. 

Cycling is a fond childhood memory for everyone, for which starting early is highly advantageous. Buy a balance bike with brakes for your child and help them explore the magic of two-wheelers. 

When your child starts to ride on their own, they grow confident. These bikes are suitable for toddlers over eighteen months of age. Smaller bikes in our range are well-suited for their tiny legs and help maintain balance.

Little ones can balance, roll, and learn how to ride a bike with a lower center of gravity and without a drive chain or pedals. Additionally, they can put their feet down when needed, which increases their confidence on a bike (because they feel safe) and reduces scrapes and bumps.

Safety features like helmets, knee & elbow pads, gloves, etc., allow them to put their foot down if they lose their balance while riding. With these structured and convertible balance bikes, your kids get the confidence they need to ride independently.

Help them start their adventure!

Help your kid explore the world on two wheels. There are many benefits to starting the cycling journey with a balanced bike around Australian streets. An early start eliminates their fears and makes them more likely to believe in their balancing abilities.

Xchange Sports stocks balance bikes from top Australian brands like Hornit Airo, Kidvelo, Cruzee, and Torker, featuring multiple colors, designs, and built-in functions.

Make your kid feel more confident by gifting the best riding tool at such a young age.

BENEFITS OF A BALANCE BIKE!

WHY A BALANCE BIKE?

kids balance bike
1. Balance is Everything

Balance bikes help kids develop and master how to balance.

Kids have a blast riding these bikes because they feel more confident and in control. Plus, children who start learning on these bikes often skip tricycles and stabilizers and hop straight on a pedal bike when they’re big enough!

2. Start Learning Sooner

Your child can use a balance bike as early as 18 months old! The smallest stabilizer bikes are usually too big at this age, but young kids can easily fit them.

3. Gain Confidence and Control

Kids feel more comfortable when they can put their feet on the ground, which is why balance bikes help them gain more confidence on a bike. They can intuitively learn to balance, turn and steer while feeling less likely to fall.

4. Ride Easily on any Terrain

Kids can ride further without getting tired and easily navigate any terrain because balance bikes let kids sit and use their feet to scoot. They can ride on grass, road, and gravel, and they love having the freedom to go where they want!

4. Increased Safety

Balance Bikes are more safe and more fun than regular bikes. Children who ride balance bikes see a decrease in injuries and falls. They are more coordinated, as well as more adept at balancing themselves.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?

TODDLER BALANCE BIKES

Choosing the right bike size for your child isn’t just about the ride; it’s about safety and comfort. Ensure the bike you select allows your child to place both feet firmly on the ground while seated. This way, they have more control and confidence as they ride. Always prioritize their ability to handle the bike easily, which makes the learning process smoother and the rides, a lot more fun.👧🧒

Interested in buying a balance bike for your two-year-old? The key is to ensure they can safely touch the ground with their feet when sitting. This helps in balance and prevents falls. Typically, a 12-inch balance bike works well for a 2 to 4 year old child. It’s a great way to introduce them to cycling early and safely.

Some popular 12 inch Balance Bike models include the Kidvelo Rookie 12 and the Hornit Aero as great options.

Looking for the ideal balance bike for a five-year-old? A 14-inch balance bike provides the perfect fit and safety for young riders, making it an excellent start to their biking journey. Safe, durable, and built to grow with them, ensuring they get the most out of their playtime outdoors. We recommend the Kidvelo Rookie 14 as a great option for a 3 to 6 year old.

When selecting a balance bike for an 8-year-old, it’s crucial to consider the wheel size for both safety and enjoyment. Balance bikes with 16-20 inch wheels are typically ideal, providing the right fit that helps build confidence and skills safely. We recommend the Kidvelo Rookie 18 as the best option.

Looking to choose between a balance bike and a regular bike for your child? Balance bikes excel in teaching young kids balance and coordination without the complexity of pedals. Perfect for beginners! Meanwhile, regular bikes are suitable for those who are ready to pedal away and take on new adventures. It’s all about picking the right learning tool for your child’s stage in bicycle riding. Kidvelo has designed a range of convertible bikes which transform from a balance bike to a regular pedal bike. A 2 in 1 balance bike with pedals makes it the perfect training bike for kids! 🚲

Balance bikes are a fantastic way for kids to learn balance and coordination from a young age. Most children are ready to start riding a balance bike between the ages of 2 and 3. This early start not only boosts their motor skills but also instills a sense of confidence and independence. Looking for the perfect balance bike? Visit us to find the best fit for your little one and get expert advice on encouraging safe, fun learning experiences!

Teaching your toddler to master a balance bike can be a delightful bonding activity. Start with selecting the appropriate size bike and a comfortable helmet. Guide them through the basics of balancing and steering in a safe environment. Take it slow, allowing them to learn at their own pace, enhancing not just their physical abilities but also their confidence levels. Keep encouraging them, and make sure to celebrate their progress!

Considering a balance bike for your child? Unlike traditional training wheels, balance bikes promote quicker learning of balance and steering, setting your child up for biking success with less reliance on training wheel support or stabilisers.

Alternatively, you can install a kids bike trailer or tag-alongs to further boost their confidence being in front of them.

Thinking about whether to get a balance bike or a pedal bike for your child? Consider a balance bike if they’re just starting out. These help build balance and confidence without pedals getting in the way. If they’ve mastered balancing, a pedal bike might be the next step to keep the fun going. Remember, each child’s needs and skills are unique! Did you know Kidvelo Bikes are a Convertible Balance Bike which gives you a balance bike and a pedal bike in a ALL in one bike design. Simply the best learn to ride bikes you can buy.
