Why get a Balance Bike
“Some parents see the
value straight away; others believe a regular bike with training wheels is the way to go, our take is we want our kid’s to have fun at the same time as developing skills and above all be safe.
Riding a bike with training wheels is really no different from riding a Tricycle, your child is learning to power the bike by using the pedals and steer, but is gaining no skills or concept of balance. Sure they can go pretty fast, but watch them corner, they are really using those training wheels, and can at times even cause the bike to tip.
A balance bike is essentially learning 2 skills again, but this time it’s balance and steering, let’s face it pedaling is the easy part, and most kid’s will have other pedal toys to get that concept and even when your child has learnt to ride a regular bike, they will still be having fun on a balance bike.
Sure you could modify a regular bike, remove the pedals etc, we tried that too and to be honest if your child is older that might work fine, but under 6 you will find that it’s not so easy. Regular kid’s bikes are heavy often well over 20 lbs, most balance bikes including ours are well under 10 lbs making them easy for smaller children to handle. They are much lower in center of gravity and the seat can be as much as 6 inches lower than a regular 12” wheeled bicycle.
Our boys ride their balance bikes in many places they couldn’t with training wheels, easily navigating grass, dirt and even ramps! There’s no chain or other moving parts to maintain and we enjoy family rides well over 2 miles!
So give it a try, we even have a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee, and see what fun your kid’s are missing out on.”
We have had some nice weather lately, and my boys have gotten a few extra chances to ride their bikes. My youngest gets to enjoy his time like his big brother, thanks to TykeBykes! He loves his little orange balance bike, and he looks so cute on it. =) I am such a fan ofrunning bikes– they are so great for younger kids, and are so much better than training wheels. I love that my son is learning balance along with steering, and will make learning to ride a “big boy” bike so much easier. I love how light the bike is, its so easy to throw in the van and take to the park, and it makes it easier for my boys to ride. TykesBykes are high quality and very durable, and will last throughout all of your kids learning to ride a bike!
