When it comes to balance bikes for kids, they don’t come much more cooler than the superb Early Rider. This classic looking wooden balance bike is a design classic. I decided to get one for my two year old son, so here is the unboxing and construction of his first bike.

Balance bikes are a great for children to learn to ride a bike, and get kids confident about running around on two wheels from a very early age.  They learn to balance instinctively, and the transition to a full pedal bike, is a lot easier than having to teach a child to balance after taking off training wheels.

The Early Rider is made from FSC-certified birch, water and weather proof marine-grade ply. It weighs in at around 10.5 lbs, and will take kids weighing up to 125 lbs.

The bike comes with 2 levels of steering ? Restricted and Unrestricted.  Restricted is for when they first use the bike, so that it basically stays in a straight line. The balance bike will also develop with your child as they grow as it comes with adjustable seat and reach.

The wheels consist of Pneumatic tires with aluminum rims, notched fork ends for quick assembly

What I like about this chopper design is that it has fancy branded flame and logo detail, tire hot patches,and a really cool embroidered faux leather seat pad. This is one cool looking kids balance bike

Look out for more videos of my two year old as he rides his balance bike, and grows and develops his confidence.
