At BikeFlip we believe that a good start to cycling starts with a balance bike. This small, simple bike without pedals not only helps children with their balance, but also playfully prepares them for a real bike.
Balance and confidence
A balance bike helps young children to develop their balance in a natural way. Because they push off with their feet and maintain control, they learn how to keep their body in balance while playing. This makes the transition to a regular bike much easier, because they are already used to steering and manoeuvring. Veiligheid.nl believes that using a balance bike gives children a sense of control and independence. They determine their own speed and learn instinctively when to brake. This feeling of freedom not only helps with cycling, but also contributes to their general self-confidence.
Safety and convenience
Because a balance bike is low to the ground, children can always touch the ground with their feet. This makes it safer and less scary than a bike with pedals, where they can quickly lose their balance. This allows them to practice without fear and enjoy their first cycling experiences. Libelle Mama also emphasizes this: children who have learned to cycle on a balance bike often no longer need training wheels when they switch to a bike with pedals. This is because they have already mastered the most important part – keeping their balance. This speeds up the learning process and makes the transition to a larger bike a lot easier.
