Children's Equilibrium Training Bicycle

We bought this bike for my daughter who has outgrown her Indi Balance Bike (~10" wheels). She is small for her age & while the Indi was usable, she'd reached the limit of seat adjustment (and then some) and the bike was starting to look a bit cramped. This is a decent step-up in size over her previous bike. It was well packed & went together really easily - <10 mins until it was being crashed into the furniture. The only thing I could see people having an issue with is inflating the tyres - the straight valves & small wheels don't make it easy - if you have a pump with a 'press-on & pull lever' style chuck then you will struggle. It's probably worth getting a pump with a screw-on hose. It's a good looking bike & the quality seems pretty good - very good for the price, to be honest. It's fairly lightweight; the 'proper' wheels & pneumatic tyres add some weight over plastic wheels & foam solid tyres, but I figured the improved comfort of pneumatic tyres & better grip was worth having. My daughter has taken to riding it without any bother at all. Geometry seems pretty well sorted & stable; my only concern going forward with it is that the handlebar height doesn't adjust, so as saddle height goes up she might feel that she's being pitched forwards a bit. There's tons of saddle height adjustment.

I've given this bike 5 stars because on reflection the balance of quality and value are high compared with alternatives. My son is will be 3 in 3 months time and is getting to grips with it just great. There are some improvements in the future design that I would like to see though, and which would make this clearly the best product of it's kind out there in my opinion. The main one is that there is no 'stop' on turning the handlebars. That means it's easy for a child to get on the bike with the handlebars the wrong way around ie 180 degrees from the way they should be. To stop this I've resorted to tying some paracord around the bars and stem. Thast's enough to stop him being able to turn the bars past 90 degress either way. Other recommended but less essential improvements I would offer to the manufacturer are: - the rear wheel bolts could be smaller/flush with the frame - the seat adjustment range is excellent, but the stem on the bars isn't. Some height adjustment to allow them to be raised would give the bike more lifespan as a child grows to their first pedalbike. Overall though advantages to this bike is the seat adjustment range (better than alternatives, especially wooden balance bikes) and the tires (air filled are great for all different terrain and better than foam wheels) and the bearings (nice and smooth so far.) It also looks nice, and the frame is very solidly built. The hand grips are also a nice size for small hands, with really good end pieces that stop their hands slipping off easily which is also great. So a long review, but with all that in mind I would't hesitate to recommend this purchase.

Lovely bike, 3 year old loves it and uses it at the lowest seat setting so there is room to grow. Only thing is that the tyres are not pumped up and we have 2 pumps at home but none of them fit the tyre so needing to take it to a bike shop just to get the tyres filled.

Being my son's first bike (2 year old) I did a LOT of research. Pedal bike or balance bike. Contentious, but I opted for a balance. Then which balance bike. What make. What model. What price. What weight. What size. Plastic (solid) or rubber (air) tyres. The result? Well my son loves it. Already, scooting around the park on his second outing (tarmac and grass). It's a pretty solid bike, with good saddle and handlebar adjustability (so plenty room to grow). Can't fault it. Well boxed and easy to assemble too (took me 5 minutes). There are cheaper bikes, there are much more expensive bikes. This seems like it's built to last. I recommend. Oh, and my wife doesn't mind it sitting around the house so I guess it's aesthetically pleasing (score!)

This product is brilliant value and has held up well after 8 months of getting a good hammering. Was hesitant about this as it’s quite heavy compared to other balance bikes, but that is actually a benefit on rough ground as it provides stability. My son loves riding down hills and through puddles and pot holes. The pneumatic wheels are chunky and again give a stable ride. Don’t even consider getting something with plastic wheels. The quick release seat is the best feature. Allows you to adjust on the fly (which you will need to do on almost every ride as kids seem to grow overnight) The only negative is the seat has frayed where it sits against the ground. Overall great value bike and well designed to give a good ride experience.

Very easy to put together. Good looking bicycle. Easy to manoeuvre. Easy to adjust seat height. My great nephew loves it. He has already shown great improvement in his balance when riding on the bike.

Great quality Balance bike. Bought for my son aged two. He still uses it aged 4 but has recently transitioned to a bike with no need for stabilisers. This was great for building confidence and balance in readiness for the transition to a big bike.

We have, I'm leaving a short review as disappointed with the rear of the bike. As per photo, no idea why, but it has additional 'legs' which attach to the frame to hold the rear wheel, but this means the frame is not one piece of aluminium, and it now has a slight wobble. This is not in the description, photos or even the instructions mentioned. So not very happy, this is a birthday present, our little boys main present, who's going to love it because he's 4 and doesn't know any better. But I do. Not happy I spent my £50 voucher from signing up to the Amazon credit card on this. Had it been a complete frame, like it appears to be advertised as, then probably well worth 5 stars for the price. But it's not. So 1 star by default.
