No other vehicle category has caused as much excitement in recent years as balance bikes. The PUKY® LR M is the ideal entry point for children from 2 years old. No other vehicle offers more fun, agility, and simultaneously trains both the musculoskeletal system and the sense of balance. The 8.4" soft tires are completely maintenance-free, provide good grip, and are whisper-quiet. The safety grips protect delicate children's hands and soften the ends of the handlebars. The raised banana saddle at the front ensures that the momentum gained is transferred to the vehicle without the child sliding forward off the saddle. The low step-through allows for safe mounting and dismounting. We consciously forgo a steering angle limitation on our balance bikes. This way, in the event of a fall, the handlebars lay flat on the ground, significantly reducing the risk of injury. The balance bike is equipped with a woven handlebar basket made of flexible plastic and a side stand. Available in the colors anthracite, retro green, retro rose, and pastel blue.

This is a crucial battle to win early on, and therefore, the low frame with a saddle height of just 31 cm provides the necessary head start. A robust diamond frame offers protection. 

4. Kokua Jumper

The LikeaBike Jumper sets new standards with its elastomer-sprung swingarm. The lightweight frame made of brushed aluminum 7005 with oversized oval tubing impresses with its enormous stability. The aluminum fork is mounted using an Ahead headset. The standard steering damper supports your child during their first riding attempts and can be easily removed later. The rear suspension consists of an elastomer spring element; a firmer element can be ordered as an accessory to adjust the suspension to the child's body weight. This suspension, combined with Schwalbe Big Apple Balloon tires (with puncture protection and reflector strips), protects the back even on bumpy paths. The wheels are built with aluminum hubs and rims as well as stainless steel spokes. Two aluminum seat posts allow for a wide adjustment range of the saddle height (34-47 cm). The Jumper is available in eight different colors; the fork and rear swingarm are powder-coated, while the main frame retains its elegant aluminum look. 

5. Pinolino Lino

Thanks to the six-position adjustable seat, it can be used as a chopper or balance bike. The neutral and natural design makes the balance bike suitable for both girls and boys, providing ample room for individual design ideas. The air tires offer a comfortable riding experience. 

6. Early Rider Runner Charger

The low-slung frame with a minimum seat height of just 31 cm gives them the earliest possible start. Its classic diamond construction and cold-forged dropouts ensure stability and can withstand all the stresses and strains of a growing child or older sibling. A beautiful brushed finish, where the quality of the tubes and our welds are always visible, and scratches give it character. CNC-machined aluminium hubs and axles run on sealed cartridge bearings, keeping the bike light and reducing friction. 2-inch Vee Speedster tyres roll effortlessly over everything, providing the comfort and stability young riders need. Internal wiring for an optional rear brake upgrade with custom Ritchey riser handlebars specifically designed to fit short-reach mini-V levers. As easy as riding a bike.

Note: Due to changes in safety regulations, dust caps can no longer be supplied as standard for bikes labelled as age-appropriate for children under 3 years. 

7. Early Rider Bonsai

Once again, Early Rider proves that it's more fun to set trends than to wait for them. The magnificent Early Rider Bonsai is back. It combines the beauty of a wooden wheel with the advantages of an aluminum frame. This bike transcends the boundaries between design, performance, and price. 

8. Early Rider Lite

At 3.25 kg, our lightest Early Rider features a more upright headset, making for a snappier and more maneuverable bike. It is ideal for younger kids (as early as 20 months), lighter and less physical kids, or for kids for whom speed is a real priority. The perfect first bike. 

9. Puky Wutsch

All Puky ride-on vehicles are designed for toddlers who can already sit or walk, allowing them to intuitively move around and further develop their motor skills. Simple movements, such as pushing off the ground with force, are combined into complex actions, which is visibly fun. Only through movement can your child's basic senses develop and create a solid foundation for successful learning. The Wutsch is suitable for children who can walk confidently and have already developed their balance to a fundamental level. The integrated Wutsch pendulum axle allows for a limited lateral tilt of the front axle, thereby facilitating excellent development of balance and movement coordination. 

10. Pinolino Wanda

The trendy mint and silver solid birch running wheel trains balance, reaction and coordination without any support wheels. The 3-way height-adjustable padded saddle makes Vespa Wanda a faithful companion over several years and offers lots of driving fun for little Vespa fans.

The sturdy children's toy with unflat EVA soft tyres will take part in every race - just sit on it, push it away and let it roll; Vespa Wanda with its retro design is a must for every little scooter fan and is also a great gift idea for birthdays or Christmas.
