Assembly took 8 minutes with the included tools. Feels way tougher than the price — our twins fight over who rides it first.

Balance first. Pedals later. Confidence forever.
The Aluminum Balance Bike is the one we point parents to when the goal is skipping training wheels altogether.
With no pedals in the way, kids learn the two hard parts of riding — balance and steering — by walking, then striding, then gliding. When they graduate to a pedal bike, they already know how to ride; only the pedalling is new.
The aluminum frame is the reason to step up from the steel version: at 5.7 lb, it's light enough for a two-year-old to pick up off the ground and for a parent to carry home one-handed when little legs run out. EVA foam tires never go flat, never need a pump, and roll quietly indoors and out.
The seat and handlebar adjust with the included tools, so the same bike fits from the first wobbly steps at two to full-speed glides at five. Every bike is checked over by our Calgary team before it goes out the door — and the frame is backed by a 2-year local warranty.
- 5.7 lb
Light enough for little arms
About half the weight of a typical steel first bike — kids can lift it, tip it up, and restart on their own.
- EVA
Never-flat tires
Solid EVA foam — no tubes, no pump, no punctures. Quiet on hardwood, grippy on pathway gravel.
- 2–5
Grows with the rider
Seat adjusts 12–16″ with the included tools, so one bike covers the whole balance-bike window.

Skipped training wheels entirely
My 3-year-old learned to balance in a weekend. We skipped training wheels entirely and she was on a pedal bike by summer.

Light enough to carry herself
She carries it up the front steps by herself. That's the whole reason we paid extra for the aluminum over the steel — zero regrets.

Great bike, get the bell
Solid little bike and the foam tires are genuinely no-maintenance. Only wish it came with a bell — grab one at the counter.

Why balance bikes work
Walk it. Stride it.
Then glide.
Training wheels teach kids to pedal a bike that can't fall over — then take the crutch away. A balance bike flips the order: master balance and steering first, with both feet safely on the ground the whole time.
Most riders go from walking the bike to full gliding in a few weeks — and hop onto a pedal bike later without ever using training wheels.
Up close
Small bike, real hardware.
Quick-adjust saddle, bumper-end grips and a low step-through frame with a built-in footrest.
