Willl they ride it if they already know how to ride a bike?

My child has the choice of this scooter to get around the neighborhood or a $300 Specialized mountain bike. The bike sits in the garage mostly while the scooter is used all the time. The scooter is better for shorter trips of less than 100 yards. If your child is traveling 1/2 mile or more to get a friend's or grandma's house, the bike would be much better.

Guess it will depend on how tall they are and my daughter still rides it at age 7. She is still learning to on it and once she learns how to ride without the training wheels we'll get her another one.

It may be. If heseems to have good motor skills it should be ok. My three year old grandson seems to prefer his tricycle at present. He is over thirty some pounds. He will probably use this bike before he turns four.

Hi Barbara, the instructions should have that information on it. I know when my grandson rides I can not keep up with him running and walking forget about it:)

It takes a bit to get used to them because it is a new task. I believe if she practiced, she would be able to drive with them.

As fun as this thing looks, I would say they would love it. You just have to make sure they aren't too tall for the toy. If they are tall I would think their knees would be too close to them off of the pedals and it may be uncomfortable

I have no idea .you can bike as hard as you wish . I think you will find that the speed is more than capable of handling any thing you can give it.

Any child that can fit on it can use it. The frame is quite small. The directions that come with the bike are not relevant to the actual product.

My grandson is riding it very well and has been since his second birthday. I think he will be ready for a bicycle before he needs pedals. This little balance bike is very well built. The regular bike will come for my little guy's third birthday late November.

Yes. You just have to get used to flipping the pedal into position with your toe.

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!

They have to scoot themselves or you would have to push. It is not like a regular riding toy, more of a saucer with armrests and wheels. Lots of fun for the kids, not so much for the parents of little ones that require spinning or pushing.

yes. we bought this bike for our 5 year old and have never used the training wheels with it. They are just laying around the house!

If the seat is rear-facing, then yes (but would be cramped for long rides). If the child is forward facing, it is still doable, but would be uncomfortable.

I do believe so, if you raise the seat and your handle bars, you should be able to ride the bike. It's a great bike to have, I'm always getting compliments on mine.

I bought this for my granddaughters second birthday. She was all exited about it. This bike is build so solid that it was still a little bit to heavy for a 2 year old girl to balance.. She wanted to coast right away and tipped over a few times. So she lost interest. But now that her 3. birthday is coming around, she is asking more and more to ride her bike. I think 3 years old would be a good age to start. As someone else already said it is a balance bike, to teach balance, the hardest part of learning to bike . The switch to a regular bike with pedals, but without training wheels, is then easy. I bought this for my granddaughters second birthday. She was all exited about it.

Ours has ridden in it since a year and a half. If they are a strong sitter/stander, then yes.
