Balance bike: what is a balance bike?

A balance bike or Push Bike is a children's bike designed to help little riders learn the basics of cycling such as steering and balance.

Indeed, the balance bikes have the particularity of not having a transmission (pedals, chain, crankset) and therefore of limiting the coordination of movements.

On the balance bikes, children can walk while sitting on the saddle and keep both feet on the ground. We find a hanger and 2 wheels as on a classic children's bike.

 Push bikes are very popular nowadays because children can learn to cycle much faster: on a normal bike, they have to learn balance and pedaling at the same time ... While starting with a balance bike, they learn in two stages, which is easier for them. It is also safer for parents.

 Be careful, even if learning is easier, children still need to wear protections adapted to their body type: helmet, gloves, knee pads and elbow pads. This reassures them and avoids small sores when hanging.

Balance Bikes - FAQ

At what age can my child start using a balance bike?

It is recommended that children start using a balance bike from the age of 2, when their motor coordination and balance begin to develop. However, some children may be ready from 18 months, while others may need to wait until they are 3 years old. The key is to choose a balance bike that fits the child's size and allows them to develop their skills gradually.

What are the benefits of using a balance bike for children?

Using a balance bike offers many benefits for children, including the development of balance, coordination, and self-confidence. It also allows children to become familiar with steering and speed, facilitating a smoother transition to a traditional bike without training wheels. Additionally, using a balance bike encourages children to play outdoors and promotes an active lifestyle from a young age.

What is the difference between a balance bike and a bike with training wheels?

The main difference between a balance bike and a bike with training wheels lies in how balance is learned. Balance bikes allow children to learn to maintain their balance by pushing with their feet, while bikes with training wheels provide additional support with small stabilizing wheels at the back. Balance bikes promote a more natural learning of balance and allow children to develop better coordination from the start.

How to choose the right size balance bike for my child?

To choose the right size balance bike for your child, measure your child's inseam and compare it to the seat height of the balance bike. Ideally, when your child is sitting on the balance bike, their feet should comfortably touch the ground. Also, ensure that the handlebar is at a comfortable height so your child can hold and steer the balance bike without having to lean too far forward.

Are balance bikes safe for young children?
