Durable tires made from EVA foam that never go flat so you don't have to worry about pumping bicycle tires anymore.While some kids need a little instruction, most kids intuitively move through these stage on their own. The REV 12 comes prebuilt, so parents will be overjoyed to find that all they need to do is adjust the seat height and the orientation of the handlebars with an Allen wrench. No bright and busy graphics or literal bells and whistles, just a perfectly proportioned and precision-built balance bike. Its unique design is centered around rotating handlebars that allow you to dial in the perfect fit as your toddler grows.

It puts them in an ideal, very slightly forward-leaning position while they’re riding, which is safe but still encourages speed. A versatile little workhorse with best-in-class components, the Ripple comes complete with wide air tires, a Cane Creek headset, a caliper hand brake, and an extended seat post.When a child is still small enough to fit on a 12″ or 14″ bike, even investing in a cheap balance bike would be a much better option. STACYC bikes ride just like a traditional balance bike, but instead of relying solely on foot power, kids simply engage the bike’s throttle and they’re off! If you are considering taking the pedals off of a bike to use it as a balance bike, it’s best to do with older kids on 16″, 20″ or 24″ bikes. In our tests, the Banana Bike GT’s air-filled tires worked fine on paved, dirt, and carpeted surfaces but were a tad slippery on kitchen linoleum and hardwood floors, unlike our top pick and runner-up.

The Frog wins the day in the design department, offering 8 different colors and patterns to appeal to a wide range of preferences. This all-new balance bike transitions easily between Balance Mode and Pedal Mode and back again so your kid can learn to ride at their own speed. For single-track-loving families, the Dirt Hero is also a phenomenal replacement for a small MTB pedal bike!

Both the handlebars and seat are adjustable, so the My First Balance-to-Pedal Bike grows as your kid does and is easy to transition to riders of different skill levels and heights. Cannondale’s Kids Trail Balance bike (it comes in boys’ and girls’ versions, which are identical apart from the colors) is unique, with its single-sided lefty-style fork, made famous on Cannondale’s big mountain bikes.

The seat post should grow by at least 3 inches, and the handlebars should allow you to raise them; if they also tilt, that’s even better.

The Ridgeback Scoot is a top-quality balance bike featuring all the upgraded components you could ask for: air tires, handbrake, quick release seat post, and kid-shaped saddle. Here are the answers to what we believe are the most important questions for those just starting on their balance bike journey. While the REV 12 lacks some of the extras of our top pick, such as a handbrake, it’s sturdy, and many of our kid testers opted for it over more expensive bikes, likely because of the wider handlebars and the speed they could achieve. Guardian’s SureStop handbrake system sets this model apart from all the other bikes in the field, except the Woom 1. Help your little one whoosh through the stages of learning to ride a bike, from parent-pushed riding to fully independent cruising!
