Q. What is the difference between a balance bike and a normal bike?
A: A Micro balance bike has no pedals or stabilisers. In fact, it has no mechanical bits and bobs (chains etc) you would expect from a “normal” bike. This lack of mechanism makes it easy, safe and fun for younger children to use. It also makes it lightweight and easy to pick up (especially a Micro balance bike as it weight less than half than some other balance bikes).

Q. Is a Micro Balance Bike Lite right for my child?
A: The Micro Balance bikes Lite are a fantastic way to teach young children balance and co-ordination skills. Please measure your child’s inseam with shoes on, standing on a flat surface. Compare this inseam measurement to the minimum and maximum saddle height (310mm and 380mm in this case). If the inseam measurement is less than 310mm then this bike is currently too big for your child.

A: 300mm.
Q. Will I have to buy replacement parts for my Micro Balance Bikes?
A: Micro Balance Bikes are so well engineered and designed they are more robust and therefore last so much longer than a cheaper balance bikes. We stock replacement parts for our balance bikes which means if you did ever need to make a repair to your bike you could do so very easily. Rather than throw the balance bike away, having the ability to make a repair to your bike to prolong its use is much more beneficial.
