Maybe you’ve caught on to the balance bike movement already. Led by the Strider Bikes brand, this revolution is helping kids learn how to bicycle with confidence, minus the stress typically associated with tricycles and training wheels. 

“But what do I do -” you may find yourself thinking, “Once my child is ready for a regular bike? Doesn’t this just mean more expense and extra purchases in the process of getting them on a ‘real’ bike?” 

This is where the popular Strider 14x Sport Bike comes in. This model is designed to allow your child to transition from a balance bike to a pedal bike simply and quickly. Thankfully, the process is simple and quick for you too.

Buy a Strider 14x Easy-Ride Pedal Kit (sold separately) and attach it with a simple single-bolt installation once your child can complete the following skills confidently:

• Support all their weight on the seat.
• Gain momentum by running with the bike.
• Balance with feet up for extended periods.
• Able to avoid obstacles in his/her path.
• Leans through turns with feet off the ground.
• Able to find and use the footrests while riding.
• Controls their speed.
• Able to stop safely with only their feet.

The tools you need to attach the pedals are included with the bike. 

This bike is appropriate for children ages 3-6 (or up to 80 lbs., with an inseam of 16-23 inches and height between 37” - 49”). The seat and handlebar adjust extensively, meaning this bike will take your child through growing phases and bicycling stages comfortably. 

If you’re going to buy one balance bike for your child, make it the Strider 14x Sport Bike. It’s versatile, adaptable, and the perfect way to give your child the gift of bicycling for life. 

Don’t let your kids fall behind - give them the balance bike advantage!

This is the balance bike that started it all. The Strider 12” Sport Bike allows tiny kids to ride with ease and freedom, cruising around on their own before they’re even potty-trained! Forget about strollers, kids leashes, bike trailers, and other helicopter parenting props. 

Get your kids moving and help them build the skills they need to succeed from an early age with a Strider Balance Bike. This pedal-free bike allows your child to use their feet (rather than training wheels or the third wheel a tricycle relies on) to develop neurological and physical balance and control. These skills transfer to pedal biking seamlessly, putting your child ahead of the curve. 

For younger kids, the Strider 12” Sport Bike is the best all-around model. It’s Strider Bikes’ bestselling balance bike for good reason. Highly adjustable, this model is designed to transition with your child through both the growth spurts and developmental changes that take place between 18 months and 5 years. 

This means less overall hassle and expense for you. Modifying the bike to accommodate these transitions is easy for you as well, thanks to the tool-free seat and handlebar Easy-Adjust Clamps and Ultralight Molded Foam Rubber Tires that never go flat. No more missing out on beautiful biking days due to flat tires or missing wrenches. 

The Strider Sport has a seat height range 11-19 in., which means it fits a huge range of inseam lengths (12-20 in.). The ergonomically-padded seat and an additional extra-long seat post means you can adjust this bike to fit your growing child without compromising performance and comfort. 

Your child will love the styling of this bike - it’s both comfortable and rugged, and comes in seven kid-friendly colors. The handlebars feature mini grips and a protective pad to help your child stay safe and in control. 

Built-In footrests allow your child to develop the coasting skills necessary to transition to pedal biking eventually. Register your child’s Strider and receive the Official Strider Learn-To-Ride Guide!

Keep your balance bike journey simple, fun, and affordable with the Classic model.
