We were a bit nervous about transitioning straight from a balance bike to a pedal bike. After extension research online we decided to get a 16" Biky Bike for Christmas. As a result, I cannot recommend this bike enough for parents whose children have been riding balance bikes! We were absolutely amazed at how quickly our child took to this bike, jumped on and started pedaling without training wheels on her second try.
My child has already rode around 10 miles on the bike and absolutely loves it. I've even had to carry it for a couple of miles and the light weight design was absolutely fantastic for when they don't want to ride anymore.
We look forward to many more rides on this bike and more Biky purchases as my child grows. If you're looking for a bike your child will love to ride, the Biky bike is an absolute must-buy.
