Lightweight Balance Bikes That Make Learning to Ride Easy
Kidvelo makes balance bikes for toddlers through to older children, designed to help kids develop balance, control steering, and gain confidence from their very first ride.
Our innovative 2-in-1 balance bikes take learning a step further. Kidvelo convertible bikes start in balance mode, and when your child can balance and use the brakes, fit the included pedal-kit.
So they can learn to pedal on the same bike they already know and love, while you avoid buying a separate balance bike and pedal bike.
Balance Bikes Designed Around Children
Kidvelo bikes are designed from the ground up for young riders, with lightweight aluminium frames, child-sized components and carefully considered geometry that makes them comfortable and easy to control.
From our lightweight Rookie 12 for little riders to the larger Rookie 14 and Rookie 18 convertible bikes, every model is designed to make learning to ride a bike fun and easy.

One Bike. From First Balance to Confident Pedalling.
Kidvelo’s innovative convertible balance to pedal bikes make learning to ride simpler. Children start by developing balance and control, then progress to pedalling when they’re ready, all on the same bike. How it Works:
- Learn to Balance – Walk the bike along and start lifting feet onto the footrest.
- Master the Brakes – Practise slowing down and stopping using the adjustable reach brake levers.
- Convert to Pedal Mode – Bolt on the included pedal kit.
- Start Pedalling – With balance and steering already mastered, your child can focus on learning to pedal
Designed for Parents. Built to Last.
One bike means no need to buy a separate balance bike and then another pedal bike. Kidvelo’s 2-in-1 balance to pedal bikes are designed to make the transition simple, saving you money while keeping your child on a bike they already know and love.

Award-Winning Balance Bikes, Built on Years of Experience
The founders of Kidvelo have all spent at least 16 years helping children learn to ride and we used our experience to design bikes that make learning simple, intuitive and fun.
Our balance bikes have been independently tested, reviewed and recognised by some of the UK’s leading parenting and consumer awards, including MadeForMums, Loved by Parents, Organic Baby Awards and the Right Start Awards.
We’re proud of the awards, but the best test is seeing children learn to ride on a bike that fits them.
