When should my child switch from a balance bike to a pedal bike?
The ideal time has come when your child can safely keep their balance and confidently roll the balance bike with their legs pulled up. Thanks to the extremely light construction of our Grade 2 models, this change is usually done intuitively and often within a few minutes - without the help of support wheels.
Why is low weight so important for small sizes?
A child at the age of 3 often weighs only 14-16 kg. A conventional children's bike is far too heavy at 8-10 kg. Our bikes are designed according to the 40% rule: They are so light that your child can maneuver, pick up and safely control the bike themselves instead of struggling with the bike's own weight.
Can I mount training wheels on the ACADEMY Bikes?
We deliberately do not recommend training wheels. Our geometry is optimized so that children learn balance naturally. Training wheels prevent this learning process and give a false sense of security. With a lightweight ACADEMY bike, your child will learn “real” cycling much faster and safer.
How long will the bike last if my child has a growth spurt?
Our Grade 1 and 2 bikes have a Vario stem that grows with you and widely adjustable saddles. This allows you to adjust the sitting position over a long period of time. The bike grows ergonomically with you, so that the healthy posture is maintained even after the next centimeter of height increases.
How easily can the bike be transported if my child no longer wants to?
This is one of the biggest advantages of our lightweight design. If your little legs get tired on the way back from the playground, you can easily carry our entry-level models with one hand or hang them over the push buggy due to their extremely low weight.
