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 2.9kgs Pneumatic (air-filled) tires 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.

We got this bike for our ~2-year-old daughter. She LOVED it. She quickly grew out of it and now we are getting a larger Rookie 14 bike for her and giving this 12″ balance bike to her younger sister. Any parent considering this bike for their kid, definitely do it. Only real issue is that kids grow fast so it will probably only last two summers before you’ll need to get a bigger one. Even with that, the price, quality, and enjoyment were totally worth it.
