Is it possible to take the pedals off to make this a "balance bike" temporarily?

Sorry gave as gift not sure. I think my nephew didn't Hv them on when he used feet to push Along

Yes. It works great as a balance bike too. I took off the pedals and the training wheels and lowered the seat as low as it would go. My 3.5 year old loved it and learned to balance and lean into turns on his own over the summer.

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.

Nope, save your money and buy a good stationary bike. I wish I had. This thing just sits under one of my end tables because I spend more time moving it back into place than actually pedaling it.

I think you may be able to do it but it would not be a good idea because uneven ground would then often cause the bike tire in back to raise above the ground, resulting in a total loss of traction.

Doesn't really work for that. The bike hangs too close to the pole to spin the pedals, so you can't really do any drivetrain maintenance.

No and it's a problem, because the pedals continue spinning, you cant fix them, so my baby was not able to hold them more than 5 min. There is great option "build a trike" on radio flyer website, so you choose footrest+all-terrain tires+everything you'd like to, even a bell.

The control should be attached to the handlebars, then you can adjust the resistance as you pedal.

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.

Hi Melissa, you could and not a bad ideal,but you would have to take off the following items - crack assembly, peddles, chain, chain housing/cover and training wheels. Hope that helps. Chris

My son scoots around on it since a couple months before his 2nd birthday. However he doesn't really "ride" it. I would think that would take a few months of practice at that young age. No pedals but I've not seen a balance bike that can. This is a great quality bike and one of the best balance bikes I've seen.

Unfortunately No. The unit is designed for the handlebars to be stationary. Don't worry though Joy, Its a great unit. Good Luck!

I wish I had a simple solution for you, but I can't seem to get mine to stay either. But I'm thinking I may go buy a cheap pair of shoes and gorilla glue the damn things to the pedals.

It is possible if your pedals clear but not advised since that is not the intended use for the stand.

Yes! .. I have done this. However, you have to be careful. The "Flywheel" is heavy and will continue forward motion when you want to stop pedaling. Practice slowly until you feel comfortable in doing that exercise. Tension can be adjusted on the flywheel.

Not quite sure what you are asking. I will say that this bike is great though. You can use it as a balance bike without pedals and then as your child grows and is ready for pedals you just add them to the bike. It comes with all the equipment to add the pedals when it is time. Can't recommend this bike enough. Cost is the only negative. Hope this info helps.

Try removing one pedal first if you can't do it buy the pedals and take it to a bike shop I doubt they would charge more than 10 dollars to put them on for you.

I believe you could, but since I have watched a friend work on his bike I don't think this will give you the freedom to move around like a rack that is made for repairs. I would not buy it for that purpose.
