Balance Bikes

Your little one will learn balance quicker than ever with Specialized's Hotwalk. It uses a lightweight, aluminum frame with an extremely low standover height so they have plenty of room to use their feet to propel themselves, while the comfy seat lets them sit down and coast when up to speed. The kid-friendly Hotwalk geometry makes this a perfect bike to introduce your child to the wonderful world of bicycling.

If we want to inspire the next generation of riders, kids deserve better bikes. That’s why we took the same tech behind our world championship-winning bikes and combined it with proportional design to build the ultimate balance bike. - All-carbon frame, fork, handlebars, and wheels. - Lightweight FACT 9r carbon frame. - Carbon wheels with Rhythm Lite tires. - 38% smaller diameter grips—a better grip for little hands. - Low friction Body Geometry saddle, with a carrying handle for parents. - Ground up design in the geometry. - Adult assembly required; tools included.

If we want to inspire the next generation of riders, kids deserve better bikes. That’s why we took the same tech behind our world championship-winning bikes and combined it with proportional design to build the ultimate balance bike. We poured over every detail in order to achieve a ride quality that’s unprecedented in such a small size. We’re talking precision at every touchpoint—from 38% smaller diameter handlebar grips to a solid carbon layup. All aligned to create the ultimate first ride. Why? We believe the best ride starts with the same standards we have as adults: Proportional fit, quality materials, and the same tech we use for pros. - All-carbon frame, fork, handlebars, and wheels. - Lightweight FACT 9r carbon frame. - Carbon wheels with Rhythm Lite tires. - 38% smaller diameter grips—a better grip for little hands. - Low friction Body Geometry saddle, with a carrying handle for parents. - Ground up design in the geometry.

Learning to balance and ride a bike has never been easier. Pre helps young riders get rolling and enjoy their journey toward two-wheeled adventures. This fun little push bike features a sleek design built around a lightweight yet durable aluminum frame and an innovative high-strength thermoformed polymer fork. It has a low stand-over height that makes it more manageable for small riders, and its smooth-rolling 12-inch wheels, along with a footrest, will help him get the hang of balancing on two wheels. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS - Lightweight - High-quality ALUXX aluminum frame and thermo-formed polymer fork delivers exceptional frame performance with the lightest weight in its category. Easy to ride - Sleek design and stable 12-inch wheels make it easy for young riders to develop balance and riding skills. Kid-friendly features - Lightweight components for enhanced control and safe, ergonomic positioning and fit.

Every Jamis youth bike uses size-specific items like grips, saddles and cranks that enhance comfort and control by providing the best possible bike fit. We focus on designing frames with low stand-over’s to take much of the awkwardness out of getting on board and dismounting after. We trim as much weight as we can with lightweight aluminum frames on many of the youth models and use aluminum parts where possible (the limiting factor here is working within a youth bike appropriate price point) to work towards that make-it-as-light-as-possible goal.

The new Pre features a redesigned frame that is not only easier to ride, but is also constructed to give it a more sporty feel for young riders. It’s made with lightweight ALUXX aluminum which also has a new footrest feature and updated geometry to make it more adaptable to riders as they grow in height. It features a low step-through design, and now has an oversized stem and bar to give it a fun, action-packed look and feel. Features: - Lightweight and durable ALUXX-grade butted aluminum frame - Innovative high-strength thermoformed polymer fork provides dramatic weight savings - Sleek design makes learning easy - Size: 12” wheel

Balance is best learned early, and Cannondale's Trail Balance bikes are the perfect vehicle for kids to learn how to ride a bike. They're built with durable and lightweight aluminum, strong alloy wheels with multi-use tread, and feature an iconic Lefty fork for a touch of cool-factor.
