Learning to Ride Made Easy

Your child starts with their feet on the ground pushing themselves along. Soon their strides will become longer and longer until they’re gliding along just as they would on a standard bike.

Smooth Ride

"12-inch Mag wheels with EVA foam tires provide a comfortable ride. Ball bearing headset with steering limiter provides smooth steering and added stability. "

Adjustable Height

"The quick release seat collar offers easy seat height adjustments, allowing the balance bike to grow with your child. It also includes a seat handle for convenient towing and storage. "

Fun That Fits

SmartStart bikes are tailor-made to kids’ proportions because a better fit leads to faster learning and more confident riding – so your child can spend less time wobbling and more time having fun.
