“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.”

“My son will be getting this at Christmas but the bike is extremely well made and on par with other much more expensive lightweight bikes. It will be perfect for my som who has Development Coordination Disorder (dyspraxia)”
