Bsby Balanced Bicycle

A balanced bike is a modern version of the draisienne or hobby horse. It has no pedals, crankset and chain or training wheels, so the child simply scoots their feet along the ground to gain speed and then raises their feet to coast along. Some come with a rear-wheel hand brake, however if the child isn’t comfortable using it they simply drag their feet to stop. The idea behind this concept is that the child learns to balance, steer and stop before they move onto the more challenging task of pedalling. This approach has been popular in Europe, and in recent years this method has become more accepted in Australia.children can learn to ride faster and generally move onto a bike with pedals and no training wheels with ease. Kids may become dependent on training wheels, and could acquire bad habits that may take time to unlearn. If training wheels are not adjusted correctly they can become an obstacle to learn.
