Balance bikes are the little bikes that don’t have pedals and can teach toddlers as young as 15 months to balance on two (or three) wheels.
A replacement for training wheels, the balance bikes are designed so that kids can learn to ride a bike and smoothly transition to a bike with pedals. They ride like normal bikes and don’t get stuck on uneven surfaces.
Easily convert the low tricycle into a low bicycle. At this point the next stage of riding starts, learning how to balance.
Trybike steel comes in four colours – matt black, silver metallic and the Vintage Edition in misty green and ruby red. Every Trybike Steel comes with two sheets of stickers to give the bike your own personal look.
Trybike is definitely the bike we would have loved to have had as kids!
