Can you use this WITH training wheels or does it take the place of training wheels?

It really takes the place of - since you hold on to tis handle while they learn to balance.

I used it with the training wheels. I purchased this because my little one won't peddle yet. With this, I can still push her around a bit while she learns to steer. There's still stooping involved as the handle isn't very long even when fully extended, but it's better than having to try to push the seat and help her steer, ect.

I don't know, but we took off the training wheels; it's for teaching them to ride a bike. My son learned in about 1/2 hour this thing is awesome!!! He told me to take it off and now he's riding on his own.

You use this in place of training wheels. Once your child feels comfortable with training wheels, in order to teach balancing, you can use this product. It's a back saver! :)

It takes the place of training wheels to teach the child how to balance the bike on their own.

It is designed to be used instead of training wheels, but I bought it to use as an adult speed/safety control on a little hilly street and for crossing streets. To use with training wheels I had to disregard the intallation instructions. The bottom portion that attaches to the bike has a bent angle on one side (couldn't really see why that was needed). I had to reverse the shaft so that the bent part faced out. It works great as my grandson learns when and how to apply the brakes going down hill, an extra push going uphill, and secure feeling crossing streets. A bike store person told me to remove the pedals when the child is ready to start riding without training wheels to make the bike a balance bike. Once they get the feel of balance with feet the wheels go back on. Sounds like a good idea, rather than buying a balance, no pedal bike too.

It takes the place of training wheels. The bar (coupled with the lack of training wheels) allows the child to feel the sway and balance of the bike, and make adjustments while you keep them from keeling over, all without having to bend over and break your back. Simply ingenious.

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.

I would suggest you to skip this idea. Training or supporting wheels are not helpful at all. The problem is, that the kids will loose theire sense for balance by using this wheels and need more time to bike "free". Try to train first without the pedals (support by pushing), so your child learns to balance the bike with the handlebar and the body. If the bike was used before as a training bike without the pedals the know it already. The kids learn "pedaling" quite fast.

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

Yes I Believe you can, the bike is not I front of me at the moment, but, I think you can. The only issue as I see it, that it might be taller than the training wheel bracket.

No, unfortunately that was something I learned after having purchased the trainer. It comes with a quick release skewer to replace on your wheel and that is how the wheel locks into the trainer.

They do not recommend pegs being used with the training wheels as it will take up space on the axle and stress on the axle.

My bike DOES have a quick release wheel, so I can't say for sure if it's possible to use the trainer without a quick release wheel (not sure how the wheels might differ). Sorry I can't be of more help.

I never try it, but if you use is for long distance ride, I suggest you to buy another one cause this one's wheels is a little bit wider. It probably make you harder.

This bike is for 8 years and up. Got big wheels. I don't think you can mount training wheels on it. You can look for training wheels that fit 20" bike wheels. I hope it will help.

Training wheels can be easy mounted on rear axis of this bike. We do offer training wheels on our amazon web store. I hope this helps! Sincerest regards Tobiaa Rosenkranz Dakota Cycle

It is intended to mount to the rear wheel. This is so one wire can be ran down the frame for the wheel speed sensor and for the cadence sensor. So It can be used on a trainer.

You can, but you need to place resistance on the tire and wheel to add rolling resistance. Otherwise you are just free spinning. The higher the gearing, the less the amount of rotation (cadence) and the less exercise you end up getting

We thought we might need axle extenders because of the thickness of the training wheel frame, however, we got a large "C" clamp and squeezed the frame enough to put the nuts on the existing axle. Don't know if it will work for you but it might be worth a try. These are the sturdiest training wheels we could find and have worked great.

No, I would only use this bike for a child who rides without training wheels as it has gears and hand brakes.

Probably not cause it has the training wheels on it. Overall it's not a good bike. This is my 2nd one. The first one fell apart in a few months and my son hardly rode it. So I got a replacement from the maker. This one is pretty much falling apart too. It's a good concept but not durable.

nope, no place to add pedals. My son, who is 3, learned to balance very quickly on this. much better option than training wheels, although more expensive.

Yes -- We assembled ours WITHOUT the training wheels right from the start because our son doesn't use them.
