FAQ

Should I prioritize the child's height or age, when choosing a BIKY?

Ideally, both. It's important to understand that children of different ages, even if they are the same height, have different proportions. 

What makes BIKY different from other children's bikes?

First of all, it is lightweight. Also, the BIKY is not a "scaled-down" adult bicycle, but is tailored for children. That's why it has a special frame geometry, a sensitive brake that children's fingers can handle, and a comfortable distance between the two pedals (Q-factor).

Why is the weight of a child's bicycle so important?

Weight is the most important aspect when learning to ride a two-wheeled bicycle and when using it every day. Biky weights, all without pedals:

  • Biky Air 12 (balance bike): 7.2 lb (3.2 kg)
  • Biky Air 14: 11.6 lb (5.2 kg)
  • Biky Air 16: 12.3 lb (5.5 kg)
  • Biky Air 20: 13.8 lb (6.2 kg)
  • Biky Air 20 S7: 16.3 lb (7.3 kg)
  • Biky Air 24 S7: 18.6 lb (8.4 kg)

For comparison, a typical steel 14-inch kids bike weighs 18 to 24 lb.

Why does the BIKY have ratcheting mechanism and can it be uninstalled?

You can't uninstall the ratchet, and that's actually a good thing! It serves a couple of handy purposes:
1. It helps save energy when you reach a certain speed, so you don't have to keep pedaling.
2. It allows you to pedal backward.

Does the BIKY need training wheels and can I install them myself?

We don't recommend using training wheels because they don't help your child learn how to keep balance and create a false sense of security. Furthermore, training wheels make the bike heavier. These facts make learning more difficult and time-consuming.

Why does Biky cost more?

Biky bikes are built using custom, high-quality aluminum alloy components and child-specific engineering developed by our team. Every detail — down to the smallest fastener — is carefully selected, tested, and refined.

We continuously improve each new generation of our bikes, focusing on light weight, safety, ergonomics, and durability. This level of engineering, materials, and quality control requires significantly more time, expertise, and precision than mass-market alternatives.

With Biky, the price reflects exceptional design, thoughtful engineering, and long-term quality — not shortcuts.
