Children's balance bike with 2 wheels

A wooden balance bike is the perfect introduction for children to mobility on two wheels. From the age of 2, small children can train their sense of balance on a children's balance bike . This lays the foundation for a mobile life and teaches them the skills they need to later switch to their first children's bike. A wooden balance bike is made largely from renewable resources and is therefore particularly sustainable. The size and design are optimally adapted to the needs of small children. Our specialists will be happy to advise you personally and recommend the perfect model for your child.

Wooden balance bike - adventure without training wheels

If you want to grow, you have to leave your comfort zone and have the courage to discover new things. With a wooden balance bike, even small children can learn this important life lesson and take a step into the unknown. In life, there aren't always training wheels to catch you, but with a little practice you can often reach goals that previously seemed unattainable. Most parents buy their children their first balance bike from the age of 2. Models with 3 wheels ( tricycles /trikes) are also suitable for ages 1.5 years. Is your child ready for their first adventure on wheels? Get on the saddle of the first wooden balance bike!

Balance bikes made of wood (birch or bamboo)

Our balance bikes are made from either birch, beech or bamboo and come with 2 or 3 wheels in various great designs. Some models can even be converted from a tricycle to a two-wheeler and can therefore be adapted to the age or ability of the child. They have a low step-through frame for easy mounting and can be optimally adjusted to the size of the child thanks to the adjustable saddle and footrests. The balance bike can be steered precisely using the handlebars. The tires of most manufacturers are made from biodegradable material (rubber).

Bamboo - the sustainable wooden balance bike

You may be wondering why a large proportion of our balance bikes are made of bamboo. The answer is quite simple: bamboo is extremely resilient, grows back incredibly quickly and has the ability to regenerate itself. In addition, no pesticides or other toxic chemicals are used to grow it. Compared to other hard types of wood, bamboo is extremely flexible despite its dense fibers. This makes balance bikes made of bamboo wood particularly robust and break-resistant. As an alternative to bamboo, we often use environmentally friendly birch wood or beech wood from FSC production.

Safety on balance bikes

A wooden balance bike , also known as a balance bike, is the perfect introduction to the world of bicycles. Children aged 1.5 and over push off the ground with their feet to move and can steer the bike using the handlebars. Balance bikes do not have brakes; children simply brake by touching the ground with their shoes. The risk of falling over, as with a child's bike , is lower with balance bikes because the feet are quickly on the ground to catch themselves. Nevertheless , children should always wear a helmet when riding a balance bike. It goes without saying that children must always be supervised on a wooden balance bike and should never be ridden on roads with traffic.
