Review on 🚲 Top-rated Bixe 16" Pro Balance Bike for 5-9 Year Olds - No Pedal Training Bicycle for Big Kids by Dawson Schmidt

This is getting a bit long as I rely on more detailed reviews from others, particularly parent feedback, to make my purchasing decision. We needed a bigger balance bike because my 4 year old is big for his age and we foolishly tried a balance bike with training wheels first. (He loved the training wheels so much that it was clear he might never want to give them up. He is not very athletic and tends to be slow to learn new physical skills.) His height, late onset of balance and inherited lack of Athletic ability suggests he's likely to be a balance bike rider for a while. So. We ordered Bixe and Strider 14x Sport. Strider is a more advanced bike. There are no two ways around this. This would be a good choice if you have multiple children and plan on handing the bike over a few times as older siblings outgrow it as it feels a bit heavier. In addition, you can discuss whether the higher sticker price is worth it. You can add pedals to the Sport (for an additional $50), but the small tires and footrest make it look a bit like a small kid's bike, so I wouldn't be surprised if my kid started looking for a "big kid" bike. to ask when it's finally time to pedal. When looking at bikes I figured a Strider footrest would be important (as opposed to just grippy strips on the Bixe body) but my kid never puts his feet on either bike anyway. He only raises his legs when he wants to move through momentum. Half price compared to Strider Bixe is a good choice. I don't know how to articulate the construction difference between this and the Strider - the metal that makes up the Bixe feels a little less durable, and when you assemble the front steering wheel the parts come together more loosely (which doesn't affect it worked like the bike once you collected everything). A nice feature that the Bixe lacks is the ability to adjust the seat height without tools. I had to adjust the height of the Strider seat several times while riding and it's really easy. To adjust the Bixe seat you need an Allen key. (However, my child never asked to adjust the bixe seat, which he did on a number of occasions with the Strider). However, I wouldn't have noticed these differences if I hadn't compared the bikes side by side. In fact, we kept both bikes so one could stay with my grandparents.” Alone, the Bixe feels solid and can definitely handle anything a kid can throw at it. I am 100% sure it will be that long before my child is ready to pedal and probably in good shape to pass on to another family. My child actually likes Bixe a bit better, maybe because he looks more mature? He's too young to describe what a difference, if any, there is in how they feel driving. All I know is that going to his grandparents' house is one of the things he looks forward to. Conclusion: My child is enthusiastic about this bike and I am happy about the price compared to the Strider. Customer Service: The Bixe bike I received had a small problem that made assembly difficult. Bixe customer service did their best to solve this problem. Their response was prompt and they solved the problem much better than I expected. In the end, you don't have to shell out $250 for a bike. You and your child will be happy with Bixe.
