  • Strong and lightweight construction
  • Easy pick up carry handle

What age are these good from?

It depends on the height of the child, I'd say minimum 88cm tall.

What a waste of money.

I suggest buying a propper bike and just taking the pedals off until balance has been mastered.

Balance bike..... what a stupid idea.

These bikes weight next to nothing and made of lightweight wood.

A bike is made of metal.

Guess which one is easier to control when your 2/3 yrs old?

That's a very ignorant comment. I've worked in the cycle industry for over 10 years and balance bikes are an infinitely better option than stabilisers to ease young children onto pedal bikes.

Think about it. You teach a child on stabilisers, then when you take them off they have to learn how to balance AND pedal. Far better to get them whizzing around on one of these and learning balance intuitively without having to concentrate on anything else. Put them onto a pedal bike after learning on a balance bike and you'll be amazed how quickly they pick it up. I've seen it with both customers and most recently with my 4 year old daughter. Even I was surprised how quickly she took to the pedals - all because she had her balance sorted.

As already mentioned too, these bikes are way lighter than your average kids bike - heavy bikes being an instant fun killer for young legs. Stupid is as stupid does.

Seen loads of posts that a balance bike is alot easier for a child to learn than stabilisers

I agree with the balance bike theory.

I just mean why would you not just take the pedals off a normal bike, and when the child has sorted their balance out, put them back on and u have a propper bike !

Saves having to buy two bikes.

The argument against stabilisers (the child has to re-adapt to not having them) is the same for lightweight vs normal weight.

The child has to re-adapt again for a normal weighted bike once the light balance one has been put away.

Thats just my opinion. Each to their own. I still think its a false economy buying a balance bike.

I will be buying a normal bike and taking the pedals off until balance has been mastered.

Good bike. Was bought as a gift for our now 4 yr old. He loved it and certainly helped with balance. Blue one was pretty cool looking too.

GOOD Balance bikes are brilliant for teaching kids balance to get them ready to learn how to ride. Most small children can pedal a trike easily, only kids with balance bikes learn how to balance!

Wooden bikes look cool, and grand parents seem to love buying them - and I my opinion thats where their benefits end. (I guess one other plus for this HUK OP is it is very cheap as a disposable toy). The wooden bikes I've seen kids strugling with are very heavy and have greatly restricted turning circles.

If you want a child to learn to ride early on I STRONGLY recomend getting a strider striderbike.co.uk/
Super light weight, No brakes to get confused with, no stearing/turning restrictions (the same as a real bike)

My daughter when she was about 2 loved zooming down the hills on the way back from nursery every day and learn't to ride her first pedal bike at about 3.5 years old with about 3 hours practice.

There are cheap alternatives to strider - make sure you get something as light as possible though. Most kids bikes weigh more than anything a serious adult cyclist would cosider riding and yet people think it's reasonable to expect kids to manage!

I got this metal one for me wee lad last Xmas.

hotukdeals.com/dea…574

Fantastic offer.

£17 with £15 of vouchers for which I got a helmet and horn.

He whizz's round on it now.

He has sadly outgrown it already but for £17 at the time.

I agree about the wooden turning circle.


Or the plastic ones meant to represent motorbikes.

I don't suppose this bike would be suitable for a 4.5 yr old at all (anyone that already has one, what age did it do up to)? I've been on the look out for a balance bike but most of the standard ones are too small, and the bikes specifically designed for older children (eg 4+) are way above my price range.
