HOW DO BALANCE BIKES HELP WITH KIDS' PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT?
Moving, learning and playing are essential parts of a child's development.
With their balance bike, kids will learn balance, spatial awareness and coordination skills, while immersing themselves in imaginary worlds.

OUR N°1 CHOICE: EASY LEARNING
Each part has been specifically designed by our B'TWIN team.
The low frame makes it easy for kids to get on and off their bike and deal with obstacles (pavements, hills).
The footrests encourage them to lift their feet off the ground and experiment with balancing. The position of the footrests prepares them to put their feet in the right place on a real bike.
Last but not least, the saddle curves up at the back to help kids sit in a position from which they can propel themselves efficiently.

IS THERE SOMETHING TO STOP THE HANDLEBARS TURNING?
We've chosen to let the handlebar rotate a really long way so that kids can manoeuvre at a much wider range of angles. However, the shape of the frame stops the wheel from coming far enough round for the handlebars to end up back to front. Kids are given free rein to practise their steering while remaining safe.
A FUN DESIGN
To please both kids and parents, this bike comes in several colours, with a range of inspiring urban and sporty styles. Have you noticed the symbols on the frame? They're different on each model and are sure to catch the eye of budding explorers. We know that, at this age, details really matter!
JUST THE RIGHT WEIGHT
Our Runride 900 balance bike weighs 3.6 kg. This top-of-the-range model is incredibly light and has real wheels (hub, spokes, rubber tyres, 12")! The aluminium parts (frame, handlebar and seat post) make the entire thing really light, giving it the best balance between weight and efficiency. The only risk with this balance bike is that you'll struggle to keep up with your mini cyclist!
Stop Easy innovation: a patented braking system designed for children.
More accessible brakes and a more comfortable grip are the main benefits of our Stop Easy system. For more natural movement, the brake lever is pressed parallel to the handlebars. Whilst being progressive, this innovative brake lever also provides 30% more braking power compared to a conventional brake lever. An innovation from our B'Twin team, loved by both parents and children.
Brake like the big kids!
The brakes use a V-brake system with mini aluminium callipers. Our teams have designed it to be fully compatible with balance bike use: the adjusting screw is at the back so that the child's legs can't rub against it as they push themselves along.
12" WHEELS
For riding just like the grown-ups on all types of terrain, we have opted for wheels equipped with real rubber hybrid tyres with an inner tube to ensure grip and shock absorption.
The 12" wheel size helps to feel better prepared for riding over obstacles.
Parents haven't been left out: the angled valve gives you easy access when inflating it.

WHY IS THE BEARING QUALITY IMPORTANT?
The principle of the balance bike is for kids to propel themselves along and use this motion to learn to balance. The bearing quality is important as it's what allows kids to pick up enough momentum to lift their feet and find their balance.
To help kids pick up speed, the spoked wheels are equipped with an aluminium hub with ball bearings (just like on big bikes). Get ready for some real workouts with your budding rider!

ADJUSTMENT RANGE: A DETAIL THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
We've done everything we can to make this balance bike fit your child for as long as possible by giving it a saddle that adjusts in height by 9.5 cm. Min saddle height: 31.5 cm / max 41 cm.
When kids are just starting out, the saddle should be at crotch height.
The handlebar can also be adjusted by 2.5 cm.
Max handlebar height: 55.5 cm.
Its handlebar and quill stem let you adjust the child's position forwards and backwards (5 cm).
