2 in 1 Balance Bike
One of the biggest challenges for parents when it comes to buying a bike for their children is balancing the desire to buy a good bike with the reality that your child will soon outgrow whatever bicycle you pick.Kidvelo has designed the next generation of 2-in-1 Balance Bikes where the Rookie 18 helps new and veteran balance bike riders gain confidence and learn more advanced skills on a bigger balance bike. The included easy-ride Pedal conversion kit transforms the Rookie 18 balance bike your child already knows and loves into a Kids first Pedal bike for instant riding success. Once your little one has mastered balance, steering, and control and is ready to pedal, the included Easy-Ride Pedal Kit transforms the Rookie 18 into the most adjustable and amazing pedaling experience your child will get on two wheels.
18" Balance Bikes
Balance bikes are the perfect transition between a scooter and a standard push bike. They are a great gift for a preschooler, toddler or kids that simply want to move a little faster around the neighbourhood. Getting a balance bike makes sure your toddler or kid can have fun on two wheels, even if they have no experience riding a bike. Convertible Balance Bike
Convertible Balance bikes are perfect for kids of all abilities and an amazing way to introduce your little one to the wonderful world of cycling. Our balance bikes are lighter and small-wheeled compared to other kid’s bikes, making them suitable for small hands and bodies. A Kidvelo balance bike is a fantastic way to help them transition into unsupported pedal bikes when they get a little older.
What is the best age for a 18″ balance bike? The Rookie 18 Balance bike is best suited for kids from 5 years to 8 years of age. Our 2-in-1 Rookie 18 provides a Seamless transition to pedaling without the need to switch bikes. Kids have more confidence having used the balance bike mode before fitting the included easy-ride pedal kit. No need to buy a new bike to change bike size. With two modes and a saddle height range of 48cm to 64cm, the Rookie 18 adapts to your growing child.
Balance bikes don’t have a drive train or pedals and are powered by your kids kicking off the ground. Adults can also guide the bike along by holding the handle and seat.
The Rookie 18 starts as a larger balance bike for kids age five or over. Unlike most balance bikes, as your child grows, the unique 2-in-1 bike adjusts to your growing child! The Rookie 18 is different to normal balance bikes as it is the only convertible balance bike where pedals can be fitted, converting it into a proper pedal bike. No need to buy two separate bikes when you can buy the Rookie 18. Our Kidvelo Balance Bikes are designed in Sydney, Australia by designer Anthony Kotarac with an ultra-lightweight aluminium frame making our balance bikes easy to handle and are rustproof, and very durable. It is also ergonomically designed with a footrest for traction and stability and an ergonomic grab handle under the saddle for easy teaching. |
