Balance bikes

Balance bikes for children: learn balance before riding a bike

A children’s balance bike supports little ones through their first adventures on wheels. With no pedals, it allows children to move at their own pace, gradually develop their balance and build confidence before moving on to a pedal bike.

Wooden balance bikes, convertible balance bikes, pedal-free bikes and children’s tricycles, along with a range of accessories, support the different stages of learning and those first independent rides.

Wooden balance bikes: little ones’ first rides

A wooden balance bike stands out for its natural look and child-friendly design. Easy to handle, it allows children to start moving independently while gradually discovering the basics of steering and balance.

At home, in the garden, at the park or on a family walk, the balance bike quickly becomes a fun way to get around. Children push themselves along with their legs, gradually pick up speed and learn how to maintain their balance.

This experience can then make the transition to a children’s bike easier when the time comes to learn how to pedal.

Convertible balance bikes and tricycles: supporting every stage

Some children begin their first adventures on a children’s tricycle before gradually moving on to a balance bike. Convertible models are designed to support this transition with several configurations suited to different stages of learning.

2-in-1 convertible balance bikes can move from a stable tricycle-style position to a true two-wheeled balance bike. They grow with the child’s progress and help them gradually improve their balance, confidence and independence.

4-in-1 convertible tricycles, Trybike and Wishbone balance bikes, as well as vintage-style and scooter-inspired models, offer plenty of options for those first adventures on wheels. This makes it easy to choose a children’s balance bike or tricycle suited to the child’s age, confidence level and riding preferences.

Balance bikes for children: balance, independence and the joy of riding

A pedal-free balance bike allows children to move at their own pace. Their feet remain close to the ground so they can steady themselves whenever needed, before gradually learning to lift them for a few moments as their balance improves.

On family outings, a balance bike also helps little ones get around more easily while discovering the joy of riding and gradually becoming more independent.

To complete their equipment, consider balance bike and children’s bike accessories, such as bicycle baskets, which are practical for carrying a comforter or a few little treasures during the ride.
