Balance bikes have become the bike industry professional's go-to method of teaching their kids how to ride. By starting with a balance bike, the child learns balance before any of the other harder skills, like pedaling and braking. Using their feet to propel themselves forwards and to stop, and using gravity as their friend, a child will be able to get a head start on the other kids in the neighborhood by being introduced to balance bikes at an early age. We recommend getting them a balance bike as soon as they're able to stand over it. The F-Un features a very low standover height to help those little munchkins get their leg over it with ease. It has a high-tensile steel frame and extremely durable polymer wheels, so it will last through the first child and be ready for the next one.
