“The Kidvelo Rookie 18 bike has been an excellent choice for our family. My daughter had already mastered a pedal bike but lost her confidence after an accident. She was due to size up and we found Kidvelo. This bike gave her the chance to take a step back and rebuild her skills at her own pace, without any pressure. The lightweight frame makes it easy for her to pick up and manoeuvre, and the smart balance to-pedal design has been a huge help in restoring her confidence. The tyres give a smooth, stable ride whether she’s on the pavement or at the park, and the hand brakes are perfectly sized for small hands, which makes her feel safe and in control. Adjusting the bike as she’s progressed has been straightforward, and it’s clear from the build quality that it’s designed to last. She was immediately drawn to her sparkly pink bike and now asks to ride every day. Watching her smile again while riding has been the reassurance we needed. The Kidvelo has not only given her confidence back but has made cycling fun again for her, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We will be purchasing another for our youngest’s 3rd birthday.”

“We bought a Rookie 18 for our 7 year old who has special needs. We were worried that she wouldn’t get on with a bike at all, but she seemed to intuitively know what to do and immediately got on. She has low muscle tone but the bike is so light that it didn’t matter. We were in tears watching her! So happy with this purchase.”

“My 8-year-old grandaughter had ridden bikes with stabilizers but had no sense of balance when the stabilizers were taken off the bike. I purchased the Rookie 18 balance bike for her and her younger sister age 5. It took just 2 sessions before she was able to cycle. The first session started with her only being able to do 2-3 meters without putting her foot down but finished with her being able to do the full length of 100 meters down a gentle tarmac slope. She was delighted and did not want to stop. For the second session, I put on the pedals and started with her pedaling on a gentle grass slope in a park. Within a few minutes, she became confident at pedaling and keeping her balance at the same time. We then moved to the adjacent tarmac park road and soon she was pedaling a 400 meters course full of confidence, as fast as she could, and was grinning from ear to ear. A balance bike that can then have pedals fitted is the best solution to learning how to ride rather than a bike with stabilizers. I just wish she had been given one a few years earlier.”

“My daughter has been riding a heavy pedal bike for years with stabilisers and hated it. She struggled to balance, didn't want to learn and rarely went out on her bike. I saw this advertised and thought I'd give it a go. Within a day of scooting around without the pedals she'd mastered the balance she'd struggled with for years with her old bike. Within a week or two she was desperate for her pedals to be installed and now she can ride it like a pro! The transition to pedals was really easy for her this time. She loves it. The colour is beautiful, it's the lightest bike I've ever felt and I can tell its made well. I am so impressed that I'm going to buy my almost 2 year old one for his birthday too. Wish I'd bought one sooner! Would recommend to anyone, without a doubt.”
