FirstBIKE

firstbike

We believe that kick bikes, like the FirstBIKE, are the best way to teach children to ride. They develop balance skills (the hard bit) before pedalling (the easy bit), unlike trikes and training wheels.

We find that starting on a FirstBIKE at 2 years of age will have a child happily riding a 12″ BMX by around 4. Kids are ready for a FirstBIKE when they can walk and stand over one, and with a ‘Lowering Kit’ installed, they can begin riding even earlier.

Both David and Lee can tell you first hand how much kids grow to love these things, and how well they work
