Welcome.
A balance bike can make the perfect gift for any toddler, boy or
girl, from ages 2 to 6 years. Balance Bike Shop offers a wide
selection of wooden bikes that are made from
natural birch plywood and are both very safe and fun. We also offer a
great selection of metal balance bikes which are made of either aluminum
or steel. All of our bikes
come in a large selection of styles and colors to suit any child.
Balance bikes are also called glide bikes, scoot bikes, run bikes,
toddler bikes or pedal-less bikes and are
designed to be used by very young children as an alternative to training
wheels. The child sits on the bike
and moves by pushing along the ground with their feet (scooting as we
would say). A balance bike
does not have pedals or training wheels, so children learn to balance
and
steer very quickly. At first, they ride with at least one foot firmly on
the floor. As they become more confident, they'll start to lift both
feet off the ground, scooting forward and balancing and occasionally
dabbing a foot to the floor when the bike leans over. Their feet serve
as the breaking mechanism giving the child complete control. Soon
they'll be
balancing, learning and playing all at once. All the time, they are
developing their coordination and motor skills, while creating
confidence and having FUN!
