Description

Discover the Joy of Cycling: It All Starts with Balance!

Learning to balance on two wheels is the gateway to cycling at any age.

 

Meet the Squish Balance Bike

Our Squish balance bike is crafted to be ultra-lightweight at just 3.86kg. This makes it easy for your child to handle and ensures you won't struggle when it's time to carry it back home or to the car after a fun-filled day of learning.

 

Why Stabilisers Fall Short

For years, parents have turned to stabilisers to teach their children to cycle. However, stabilisers eliminate the need for balance, stripping away the most crucial skill a young cyclist needs.

 

Embrace the Balance Bike Revolution

That's why we recommend a balance bike as your child's first set of wheels. Designed to be low enough for confident standing and high enough for comfortable scooting, balance bikes help children build up speed and master the art of staying upright with each stride.

 

Mastering Essential Skills

Once your child gets the hang of balancing, they can start learning to use the rear brake to slow down—another key cycling skill.
