Micro Trailer *NEW

Q. What age is a Micro Balance Bike suitable for?

A: We would recommend a Micro balance bike for children aged between 2 and a half and 5 years. We would not recommend a balance bike for children under 1.  

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. How much does a Micro Balance Bike Weigh?

A: The Micro balance bike weighs in at a lightweight 3.2kg thats just over 7lbs or a couple of bags of sugar. 

Q. Is the Micro Balance bike adjustable?

A: Yes the Micro balance bike is adjustable. In two ways in fact. The handlebars adjust in height allowing for a growing child. They go from 51-53.5cm. The seat is also fully adjustable (and easy to do so) enabling you to set it at the right height for your child. 

Q. Is a Micro Balance Bike right for my child?

A: Balance bikes are a fantastic way to teach young children balance and co-ordination skills. Mastering a balance bike, in our experience, often sees children make the transition to a “grown up” bike much quicker and easier. The frame of the Micro Balance Bike is made from lightweight aluminium, making it approximately half the weight of comparable models so it can be easily carried or put on the back of a pram. 

Q. What else do I need to know about the Micro Balance Bike?

A: The wheels on the balance bike are puncture and mark free meaning the bike can be used indoor and out. The size of the wheels measure 20cm in diameter and are 3.5cm wide. The Balance Bike uses precision bearings and is made from aluminium. 

Q. Will I have to buy replacement parts for my Micro Balance Bike?

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.
