![]() I think he’ll be skiddish at first, so I want to lean toward the easiest riding ones (like Woom), but once he gets the hang of it, i hope he’ll be ready to join me on some smoother mountain bike trails and fire roads with some smallish roots/rocks, so I don’t want position to be too relaxed. I think he’s just about ready for a 16″ bike. ![]() ![]() we had a tricycle, but it never quite fit him right when he showed interest. it really took almost a full season of periodic trying it to be comfortable with actual coasting, but now he’s pretty good with it. My son turns 4 next week and is ~41″ tall. but it’s so hard with all these great options you’ve presented! Sorry to ask a question almost identical to so many others…. It made the transition from tricycle to 2 wheeled bike so easy.ġ) Do you think a balance bike is a good idea for a 6 (almost 7) year old or is it better to find training bikes with 4inch tires (not easy to find in Canada)?Ģ) What size bike do you suggest? She is average height.Ģ) Do I simply remove pedals or buy a dedicated balance bike (eg Bixe 16)?ģ) Should we buy a Woom3 for her and remove the pedals? We want her to learn to love riding her bike independently. When I grew up I learned to ride in England on a low 2 wheeled bike with very fat tires (probably 4 inches). The 18 inch is not from a bike-store as we couldn’t find that size at a bike store. ![]() We have 16, 18 and 20 inch diameter bikes in our garage for her to use. I am thinking a balance bike might be the way forward for her. We didn’t use a balance bike for her as her older siblings seemed to progress away from using training wheels without issue. She is great on her scooter and loves our tandem bike but she doesn’t pedal very quickly and is timid. My almost 7 year old (this summer) can’t ride her bike without her training wheels despite 2 weeks of half-day bike camps, etc. ![]()
