“Hi, I just wanted to let you know how unbelievably impressed we are by these bikes. Our daughter was diagnosed with dyspraxia at 4 years old and told by professionals that she would probably never ride a bike and not to bother. Well our daughter wasn’t taking that but no matter how much we tried, at 8 years old she still couldn’t get it. After lots of googling, 2 weeks ago we came across your website and after seeing the reviews ordered one. She’s been out every day for just over a week and we couldn’t believe how quick she got to grips with it and how fast she made progress. Tonight after going on her balance bike she hopped on her brothers bike and rode a bike for the first time I honestly can’t believe it and know it wouldn’t have been possible if we didn’t come across this amazing bike. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and from a very grateful girl who can now ride a bike like all of her friends.”

“Hi great product very light and easy for my 6 year old to manage. We haven’t used the pedals yet just focusing on learning to balance but seems happy and I am hoping with time he’ll be confident enough to try the pedals. We found with the old bike he couldn’t move the bike if he got stuck in a tight spot with with this bike he can easily manoeuvre it about without getting tired or stressed”

“My son has Down's Syndrome and isn't ready for a pedal bike. We had been using one with the pedals removed but it was quite heavy and he had outgrown it. We thought this would be perfect for him and last a long time as the chain and pedals can be added when he is ready. He loves his new bike! It is light, speedy and easy for him to handle. The addition of the foot rest means he can put his feet up when he is gliding and get used to the position they would be in if he were pedaling. The brakes are a little stiff - hopefully they will loosen up over time - and he doesn't have the hand strength to squeeze them all the way, yet. Overall, we are very pleased with his bike!”

Hello Claire, Thank you for the review. We are really pleased he is enjoying his bike. With regards to the brake tension, the good news is it is adjustable, as is the reach to the lever. We will send you an email today, to let you know how you can easily adjust the brake, to make it easier for him to pull. Best Wishes, Karen

“The rookie 18 balance bike has been an absolute game changer for our son. He is developmentally delayed and struggles with the concept of pedals but finding a bike for suitable for his height and weight has proved very difficult. He got the bike for his 7th birthday and within a week he was whizzing around the local park full of confidence - and is always asking when he can next get out on it! We are really impressed with the quality of the bike, the vibrant colours available and the feature of adding pedals on when the time is right.”

“This is a brilliant bike. It arrived quickly and my child quickly picked up balancing as the bike is lightweight. Bike is well built and quality materials. Instructions are easy to follow and it has included tools needed for some of the steps.”
