I don't think there is enough thread left on the bolt that the training wheels are mounted on. So probably one or the other.

Yes, it can be used with training wheels, you may need a larger bolt to accommodate. Your issue is pushing with the balance buddy (I also mentioned this in my review). There is a single bolt attachment on each side. Thus the balance buddy bar rotates forward as you push on the bike. I too thought you could push with the balance bar. No matter how hard you tighten it, the balance bar will rotate forward. If you purchase some draw ties, you can find points to prevent the bar from rotating forward.

I believe that you should be able to use it with training wheels, and you definitely will not have to bend over. I will say that it takes very little strength to hold your child upright, even if he isn't pedaling. Hope this helps.

As far as I know it is not designed to be used in conjunction alongside training wheels. I brought it to get my 7 year old autistic son to learn to ride his bike without them, and to help him learn to balance and used to controlling his bike without them. Not sure where you are from, but I have seen 12 inch bikes that have a handle attached to them for parental control and still have the training wheels. The Balance Buddy is attached to the nuts on the back wheels of the child's bike so you would not be able to have it, plus training wheels on your son's bike.

It might with some modification. There's a tab on the end of the Balance Buddy towards the axle end that's there so the Balance Buddy doesn't rotate past a certain point. That and the width of your axle may be a problem for using both training wheels and this.

yes it can be, provided there is space to tighten the nut after placing both training wheels an this one. With the vibration of the training wheels the nuts com lose very often so please check often.Update: as the previous responder said there is a tab. but it can either straightened or you can fix it in an angle. If you are not too tall that should still work

No, it does not come with training wheels and no, there is not a safe place to put training wheels. This motorcycle moves really, really fast. As fast as an adult bicycle going very fast down a very steep hill. It should NOT be ridden by someone who is not comfortable on two wheels.

We did not install training wheels and I don't remember even receiving training wheels with this bike. Love love love the bike though!

You could but you would have make sure you have the right kind. The bike does not have the usual frame shape so may not compatible with the most common type of training wheels. More importantly, though, this bike is specifically designed to help teach how to ride without training wheels. The kid learns balance first without any pedals, gears or chain in the way. You then add those later (they are included). Hope that helps!

I don't know if you CAN, but I don't think you SHOULD. The two wheels work fine to move it around, you just pick it up by the end without wheels. The wheels don't really lock, so I don't think it would be very safe to have four wheels.

I would think he could maneuver it as long as he could balance on it, and you do have the handle bars to hold onto to help balance. You make it go by moving the handle bars back and forth. You do need a smooth surface to ride on. My grandchildren love it! (ages 2-11) The 2 year old started riding it when she was about 18 months old.

I am not quite sure. The training wheels act as a stand. Once they are off, I haven't figured out my options. Sorry.

Sure, you can. The wheels connect onto a shaft that goes threw the axle so the wheels will turn. The only thing is the chassis is kind of fragile with the small diameter plastic they used. So if for a kid, especial like mine, the chassis will break after sometime! Hope this helped. Edit sorry didn't see the other reply's before I replied.

It's not made to have training wheels, not sure any this size are. Try going to a bike shop and see if they can change the bolt out.

My son still uses training wheels on his own. But when we use the weeride no wheels needed.

when I was training my older kids (6 and 7 years old), I used training wheels and after moving the wheels up as high as they could go, i proceeded with taking one training wheel off. that worked for us

No, you cannot safely add training wheels. This bike moves super fast. I'd suggest 12yrs and up (10 if very coordinated )

Hello, I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. I baught a 16inch for my 3 yr old. It's perfect size for him, especially with the training wheels. I baught the 18inch for my 5 year old. He rides without the training wheels.

I don't think the wheel assembly would have room for both, but that's a good idea! Mainly for added stability when ready to ditch the training wheels.

No training wheels and I don't think you can put any on unless you can fabricate something. No need! You're kid should learn quickly!!

Yes. You have to assemble the bike (easy) and can leave the training wheels off. We never used ours.

yes, training wheels can be added. we purchased the training wheels separately, the same brand though.
