Meet The Strider Bike: The Clever Bike That Grows With Your Child From 1 To 7 Years Old

Strider 12 Sport

Kids as young as one can zoom into balance mode on a Strider 12” Balance Bike. These lightweight, highly adjustable bikes make it easy for kids to learn because all they need to do is straddle the frame and walk! Mini-grips mean little hands can easily take control and as they get more comfortable, they’ll start striding and lift their feet onto the footrest to glide everywhere.

In no time, kids develop an early love for two wheels while mastering the balance, stability, and coordination skills essential for bike riding.

The Strider 12 Sport is lightweight, allowing kids to ride it anywhere, from indoors on rainy days to outdoors on any surface imaginable, including grass, gravel, hills, ramps and more. With highly adjustable seat and handlebars, the Strider 12 Sport can comfortably accommodate children from ages 1 to 4.

Strider 14x – Balance Mode

As kids grow (between ages 3 and 7), they’ll transition to the Strider 14x. Because it has the same dimensions as the Strider 12 Sport but a slightly larger size, children won’t lose the excitement and confidence they’ve developed. They can continue striding and balancing without interruption, seamlessly building on their skills until they’re ready to transition to pedalling like pros!

Strider 14x – Pedal Mode

Once kids are comfortable in balance mode on the Strider 14x, they can pop on the Easy-Ride Pedal Conversion Kit that installs in seconds.

Since kids are already familiar with the Strider 14x’s weight and size, transitioning to pedalling becomes much smoother. They don’t need to adjust to a completely new bike while learning a new skill. This familiarity allows them to focus on mastering pedalling without the added challenge of adapting to a different machine.

Starting with their feet on the ground, riders build momentum by striding and then place their feet onto the narrow “easy stride” pedals, which are designed to fit their frame and leg length perfectly.

Best of all, kids will never need training wheels with Strider Bikes. Research indicates that children who learn to ride with balance bikes tend to master pedalling up to two years earlier than those who start with training wheels. This is because balance bikes help develop essential skills like balance and coordination from the outset, leading to a smoother and faster transition to pedalling.
