Product Information

Joystar thought of that and included soft padding in the middle of the bar. If your little one should come to a sudden stop, it won’t hurt if they accidentally hit the bar. If your child has mastered the art of the balance bike through VeloBalance, they can Pedal Up and progress on to pedal bikes.

Consideration should also be given to the bike’s components and general durability. A good quality and durable balance bike that can stand the test of time, handed down from one child to the next, will minimise the ecological impact. Less durable bikes that need replacing more often tend to find their way into landfill and have an increased environmental impact regardless of the material. As the child’s confidence and balance progress, they will naturally start pushing faster and exploring further. This is great for their confidence and fitness. Without the limitation of stabilisers, the child can also develop their cornering skill, learning to lean and shift their weight as the bike moves beneath them. 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. This design is awesome as it teaches kids to balance (which they don’t get on a trike), but still provides plenty of stability. In fact, the bike will roll and balance on its own for a few moments before toppling over. The Yvolution Y Velo Junior balance bike provides a fun and easy introduction to bicycles for very young toddlers. It’s low minimum seatpost height, light weight, and innovative double rear wheel makes it superior to most balance bikes for learning to ride.The worst part about being a small biker is that hard metal frames can hurt, especially the handlebar.

That said, it is better suited to indoor and gym riding than outdoor biking. Once kids become more athletic and aggressive, they are better off with a REAL bike. Even then, however, the Y Velo remains a fun toy to play with inside the playroom.

Expert Reviews

Regardless of whether you are pro or anti footrests, so long as they are not obstructing the child’s natural stride, they can be an optional extra. My rule of thumb is so long as the child doesn’t notice the footrests when walking, they are probably OK. Whether or not the footrests ever get used is an entirely separate matter.
