Strider Balance Bikes
Strider balance bikes are industry-leading training bikes that help children as young as 18 months learn the fundamentals of balancing, leaning, steering, without the distractions and complications of pedals or training wheels.
The Strider 12’s simple, no-pedal design builds confidence and eliminates fear by allowing kids to have their feet on the ground and progress at their own pace. This unique design teaches young children balance on two wheels right from the start, avoiding developmental delays typical with tricycles and training-wheel bikes. The optional rocking base allows kids as young as 6 months to start balancing. The Strider 14x starts off as a balance bike for both first time riders and those moving up from a Strider 12. The adjustable seat and handlebars means the bike will continue to fit the child. The optional Easy-Ride Pedal Conversion Kit will have them pedaling in no time and even includes a coaster brake to practice those skid marks.
Genuine Strider balance bikes are sometimes referred to as push bikes, scoot bikes, run bikes, or running bikes. The U.S. Patented Strider balance bikes are the lightest balance bikes in their category, have the lowest seat height (for the youngest starting age), and are tested to the most stringent safety standards (age 18+ months vs. the less stringent 36+ months). Frame-integrated footrests, proprietary ‘toddler-sized’ components, and the ability to easily adjust to a growing child, make the Strider the only bike your child needs to develop their riding skills and successfully transfer onto their first pedal bike or dirt bike WITHOUT training wheels.
