Balance 12 WeeRide Inch to you
I purchased the yellow version of this bike on sale for about 1/2 off. For the price, it seems I got my moneys worth assuming it holds up to use. I like it, it will last a long time height wise, and he likes it.
My complaints (ie: why this isn’t a 5 star review)
(I know I could send the bike back, but I choose not to- IME returning a product isn’t worth the hassle if you can fix it yourself)
*The bike arrived with chipped paint.
*The hand brake tire pads wouldn’t adjust correctly- it was loose and wobbly. When braking it would move to one side or the other. The solution the manual gave was to take to a bike shop. My solution was to remove the brake- against the manuals direction. Given the bikes design having a braking mechanism seems more of a hindrance than a help. He can brake with his feet like kids do with practically every other balance bike on the market, I feel safer about him braking with his feet than I do about him using a handbrake with this style of bike. The child is too young, really, to understand the hand brake anyway. After removing it is impossible to reattach.
*The color is different in person- the tires have no white rim, the seat and handles are a bright yellow, the frame is a golden yellow. It looks uglier in person.
*It is larger than the other bikes I have seen in stores, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It barely fits a 4 1/2 y/o who is over the 70th percentile for height with the seat adjusted extremely low. I purchased two, one for a younger child to grow into this summer- he is also very tall for his age. I am going to look into fitting 10 in tires to it. It is bigger than the other 12 in bike we have. If the smaller tires do not work, the other bike will wait in the box until next summer. This is labeled for 3+ and is marketed for 4 to 6 year olds, I believe the labeling is misleading.
I like the bike, but I wouldn’t pay full price for it when there are other brands that do the same thing and are mor

Great addition to our bike rides!. We have been very happy with this addition. Our pre-schooler loves the feeling of contributing to pedaling! The only thing to watch out for is balancing while turning, and be sure the little ones wear helmets! It is very fun and great family time!
