Balance Bikes for Schools & Cycling Instructors
Do you run a Bikeability programme but find that some children cannot take part because they have never learned to ride?
Are you a cycling instructor looking for safe, reliable bikes that can support a wide range of ages and abilities?
Kidvelo can help.
We supply adjustable balance bikes and innovative convertible balance-to-pedal bikes for schools, nurseries and cycling instructors.
Our bikes help children build confidence and develop the skills they need to ride independently, making them ideal for children who are complete beginners, those who lack confidence or groups with mixed abilities.
Suitable for early years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, Kidvelo bikes are used in a wide range of learn-to-ride settings.
Helping More Children Learn to Ride
Not every child arrives at school ready to pedal a bike. For some, the challenge is confidence. For others, they simply have not yet had the opportunity to learn the essential skill of balancing on two wheels.
Starting with a balance bike allows children to focus on balance and steering before adding the extra challenge of pedalling.
For schools and instructors, this can create a clear pathway that helps children progress at their own pace.
Once a child is ready, our convertible bikes can be transformed from a balance bike into a pedal bike by fitting the Pedal-Kit — allowing children to continue their journey on the same familiar bike.
One bike can take a child from complete beginner to confident rider.
Kidvelo has years of hands-on experience helping children learn to ride, and we understand that school and instructor fleets need to be versatile, durable and easy to use.
Rookie 12 — Ideal for Early Years
The Rookie 12 Balance Bike is ideal for nursery and pre-school settings. At just 2.89kg, it is ultra-lightweight, easy for young children to handle and features quick, tool-free seat adjustment.
Rookie 14 & Rookie 18 — From Balance to Pedals
The Rookie 14 and Rookie 18 are unique convertible bikes designed to support children as they progress.
Children can begin in balance bike mode, building confidence and control without pedals. When they are ready, the Pedal-Kit can be fitted in just minutes, transforming the same bike into a pedal bike.
With adjustable components and sizing designed to accommodate a wide range of children, one Kidvelo bike can support different ages, stages and abilities.
This makes our bikes a practical choice for:
- Schools and nurseries
- Cycling instructors
- Balanceability programmes
- Bikeability preparation and support
- Learn-to-ride sessions
- Children who are not yet confident on two wheels
Whether you need a complete fleet for your school or just a handful of bikes for lessons, Kidvelo is committed to helping every child get the opportunity to learn.
