The Safest Balance Bike on the Market

FirstBIKE has also proven to be a great helper when it comes to the development of a child’s self-confidence and enjoyment of learning. It has been awarded around the world for safety and durability.

The essential learning bike
FirstBIKE is the perfect training bike for developing your child’s sense of balance, motor skills, and self-confidence. Unparalleled features make learning and exercise safe and fun.

FEATURES

FRAME
High-tech, injection-molded composite frame doesn't scratch, splinter, swell, or rust like wood or metal frames (GFT™ frame is made of 30% glass fiber reinforced nylon composite). Extremely lightweight, high-strength yet flexible, and durable material (weatherproof).

HAND BRAKE
Hand-controlled, rear drum SafetyStop™ brake ensures very gentle and gradual braking; the braking power can be adjusted.

SAFETY GRIPS
Safety grips keep little hands from slipping off and help kids better control the bike.

STEERING LIMITER
The handlebar does not fully rotate and helps keep direction. Steering limiter helps your young rider ride smoother and helps prevent rough falls.

MUDGUARDS
Front and rear mudguards help repel dirt and gravel.

REFLECTIVE SURFACES
Reflective stickers for better visibility in low-light conditions.

SEALED BEARINGS
Sealed industrial wheel bearings keep the wheels turning smoothly without replacement or service (prevents clogging by dirt or gravel).

SADDLE SEAT
Special "horse saddle" shape provides for maximum comfort and stability. The shape of the seat ensures a child does not slip off when riding downhill (unlike common pedal bike saddles used on other balance bikes).

LOWERING KIT
Optional lowering kit (LowKit™) allows kids to ride from an earlier age (starting from 22 months old).

REAR DRUM BRAKE
Unlike the commonly used rear V-brake, this unique drum brake is also safe for little fingers.

TIRE OPTIONS
Only high-quality Schwalbe tires roll on a FirstBIKE.

Safety First
  • FirstBIKE’s flexible frame allows for shock-absorption and protection of your child’s spine
  • Hand-controlled, rear drum SafetyStop brake ensures very gentle and gradual braking; the braking power can be adjusted. (Unlike the commonly used rear V-brake, this unique drum brake is almost hidden. And that’s why it is much safer for your toddler‘s curious fingers and moving legs when pushing off, walking, running, and balancing on a FirstBIKE.)

From what age can my child ride a balance bike?
Ideally, a child should start riding a balance bike at the age of 2, i.e. as soon as he/she out-grows a three-wheel plastic bike. However, we take part in events (sports days, family festivals, professional trade fairs), where we see many skillful children riding on a FirstBIKE at the age of 22 months (with the optional LowKit™ lowering kit attachment). The sooner you start helping children with exercising their balance on a bike the better. Small children learn on their own extremely quickly (from our own experience we know that it’s a matter of hours). But there are also children less excited to move around, who will not be thrilled by a balance bike at the age of two. Certainly do not force them to ride it, but show them the FirstBIKE again in two or three months. Children starting to ride balance bikes later, from the age of 4, take longer to learn and tend to have a problem with keeping their balance. This is often the case because they have developed bad habits from bicycles with training wheels mounted on the sides or from other ride-on carts, which don’t allow them to make progress.

What is the minimum height requirement for my child to ride a FirstBIKE?
Thanks to the LowKit™ lowering kit, models with inflatable tires can be used by children from 2 ft 8 in. The Basic model with solid wheels can be used by children from 2 ft 7.5 in. However, this also depends on the length of the legs. When riding a balance bike the knees should be slightly bent while the feet are flat on the ground. The lowest seat position on a FirstBIKE is only 12 in (1 ft), which makes it one of the lowest balance bikes on the market.

Does my 2 year-old child need a LowKit™ lowering kit to lower the seat?
That depends on how tall is your child and on the length of his/her legs. We recommend to measure the length from the groin to the inner arch of the foot. If it’s below 14 inches, your child will need the LowKit™ lowering kit. 14 inches or more, will be able to ride comfortably. For safe riding on a balance bike, it is necessary that your child reaches the ground with both feet flat, not just with the toes. Around 90% of 2 year-old children need the LowKit™ lowering kit.

What is the difference between the tires used on a STREET and CROSS model?
In practical terms, the only difference is the design. Both have very similar on-road performance. The Cross model is more attractive for children who enjoy off-roading and motorcycles, because the rough tread looks like a mountain bike and sounds a bit like a motorbike. The Street model has a more subtle look and is best suited for children who enjoy the look of city or trekking bikes. However, this is matter of taste.

What is the difference between inflatable tires and solid polyurethane tires?
Inflatable tires offer much better on-road performance (the bike is springy, and therefore, much more comfortable). “Basic” models with solid polyurethane wheels are preferred by customers for whom low maintenance is more important than a comfortable ride.

What should I do with a flat tire?
The tires are made of quality materials, but if you puncture it, the inner tube can be bought almost anywhere that sells bike tires (it has the standard size of 12 in).

Sometime ago I purchased a FirstBIKE without a handbrake. Is it possible to buy a brake and mount it on the bike?
Unfortunately, it is not possible for technical reasons – it would require replacing several components, including the rear wheel, and drilling into the frame.
