Product Information

To take part in this session you must first take part in a Pedal Up session and be signed off by a coach. This session is only for children who are able to ride a pedal bike and can display the following basic cycling skills: Other updated details on the Banana Bike are the cushioned handlebars. They offer a secure grip that is comfortable for your toddler’s long rides. The handles are slightly textured, helping your little one hold on better. Learning to ride a bicycle is an essential part of childhood. Bike-riding helps kids learn motor skills that are crucial as they develop and eventually begin to play sports, drive vehicles or operate machinery. Plus, the activity allows youngsters to travel independently, visiting friends and neighbors as they please.

Teaching your child how to ride a bike is one of the joys of parenthood. But it can be challenging to find a good bicycle for that first lesson. Balance bikes are gaining popularity among parents because they eliminate the need for training wheels. They speed up the process and teach the rider to focus on balancing as opposed to pedaling (1). Aluminium is another of the pricier materials but can often make for a lighter bike. Bonus rustproof and durability points for aluminium, making it a more suitable material if the bike is likely to lie outside or you are planning on multiple children. The steel Chillafish Fixie feels very robust mostly thanks to its 4.66 kg weight.

If your child has mastered the art of the balance bike through VeloBalance, they can Pedal Up and progress on to pedal bikes. For developing children, adjustability is always a huge plus — they grow like bean sprouts. The Y Velo Junior allows for adjustments to the seat and the handlebar.

The amount of support it gives can be changed, simply by turning the bezel above the rear wheel. A more responsive setting may be preferred by a novice rider and a tighter, stiffer setting more suitable as they develop. This balance bike is ideal for indoor play. We allowed it to be used for several weeks inside our house and didn’t notice any marking on our hardwood floors. Itching to get your young toddler on a balance bike? Many balance bikes are too big and too heavy for the very youngest riders to handle. That’s why we like the Yvolution Y Velo Junior balance bike. A footrest is an excellent feature. It’s not there so much for resting the feet as to replicate how your child would sit if there were pedals. This can help your child get a feeling for how it will be once they upgrade to a pedal bike. Your child can ride as long as they like with less maintenance required, as puncture-free rubber tires complement the wheels perfectly. Plus, they match the bike’s color, adding to the child-approved appearance.

Balance bikes are great for all ages, but the younger kids begin using them to practice their skills, the better. Most balance bikes will display what ages they’re suited for, so look there before purchasing. Typically, balance bikes are suitable for kids as young as 18 months. Get them started early!
