Balance Bike Review
“If you’re in Australia or the UK, the Kidvelo Rookie 12 is a great choice. The Rookie 12 stacks up well against the competition, with good looks, smart design, safety features that Mom and Dad will appreciate, and a price that’s solidly in line with other 12” balance bikes on the market today. If you’re shopping for your child’s first balance bike, give the Kidvelo Rookie 12 serious consideration.
Pros:
A Real Bike that looks like Mum and Dads bike but for 2 year old plus.
Super Lightweight at 2.93kgs
Pneumatic (air-filled) tyres make for a safe, comfortable ride
Sloping top tube makes it easy to mount/dismount
Thoughtful safety features”

Key Features
Kid Specific Geometry
The Perfect fit gets your little one riding sooner, better, safer.
Kids don’t just need smaller bikes. They need different bikes. With all the right proportions. All kidvelo bikes are designed for kids, from the ground up.
Quick Adjust Seat
All Kidvelo bikes feature quick-adjust seat post clamps.
Seat height can be adjusted quickly, easily, and without tools. So when kids are ready for a higher seat, you can accommodate them in seconds.
Lightweight Design
At Kidvelo we believe that a lighter weight bike is a safer bike.
A lighter weight bike is easier to control. We think that’s a good thing. All Kidvelo frames and rigid forks are made of lightweight heat treated 6061 aircraft grade aluminium alloy.

Lightweight but Durable
“I’ve tried cheaper balance bikes before, and they don’t compare. The Rookie 12 is incredibly lightweight but feels solid and premium. My 3-year-old can lift it easily, which makes a big difference. Customer service was also fantastic — I had a quick query about sizing and they were so helpful.”
Claire S. –
Excellent Customer Service
“This was my first time buying from Kidvelo, and I’m blown away by both the bike and the service. I had a small shipping query and they replied instantly and politely. The Rookie 12 is beautifully designed, light enough for my son to handle, and feels very safe. He’s riding every day now. A+ experience all round!”

Easy to Assemble, Fun to Ride
“I’m not very handy, but I managed to put the Rookie 12 together in no time. Everything was straightforward. My 2-year-old hopped on and took to it straight away. It’s so much fun watching her ride with confidence. The bright red colour is stunning, and the bike is clearly made to last.”

Grandpa’s Seal of Approval
“I grew up fixing bikes, so I notice build quality right away. Kidvelo nailed it with the Rookie 12. The frame is strong but light, the wheels roll smoothly, and the whole thing is designed with kids in mind. My grandson loves his green one. Great job, Kidvelo — you’ve made a grandpa very happy!”

Fast Shipping & Great Quality
“I ordered the Rookie 12 online and was amazed that it arrived within 48 hours. The quality is outstanding — every part feels durable and safe. My daughter is gaining so much balance and coordination already. This is the perfect step before moving to a pedal bike.”
