Want to teach your little one the basics of cycling from a young age? Our handy guide to balance bikes will get your little ones whizzing around the garden or local park in no time! [Halfords. We Fit. We Service. We Repair.]
If you’re looking to get your little one started on two wheels, balance bikes are a great way for them to get a feel for cycling.
Designed for toddlers as young as three, these bikes have no pedals or chain…
and sometimes no brakes.
But don’t worry, they just use their feet to stop.
Balance bikes are all about helping them get to grips with balancing and steering on a bike – two of the trickiest skills.
With these skills learned, kids as young as three can easily transition to a regular kids bike without the need for stabilisers.
Balance bikes come in two wheel sizes –
Ten and twelve inches depending on your child’s height
The smaller wheels allow children to start on a bike when they’re a little younger or shorter.
You can get different tyres on these bikes: EVA puncture proof tyres and also pneumatic tyres for better grip and more comfort.
As you can see, these grips are ergonomically designed for little hands to make getting going on their first wheels easier.
And some balance bikes, like this, feature brakes for extra confidence.
This bike is like a miniature adult Pendleton Somerby with mint green colour and wicker basket to boot. Perfect for your style-conscious toddler!
You’ve also got this Wiggins bike with a lightweight alloy frame, pinch free brake lever to protect small fingers, and a carrying handle on the saddle for when they get tired.
Then finally there’s this bike with its low standover alloy frame and adjustable saddle height for a more comfortable ride.
A great lookalike of its bigger brothers and sisters in the ever-popular Carrera range.
We’ve got a big range of these little bikes to choose from and you can browse the full range online.
If you need a hand with your new bike, our experts in store can help.
