Joystair Balance Bike

The bike was bought for 3 year old grandson. It is an interesting idea to develop balance before a regular bike, and it seems to be on target. Our 3 year old got on immediately and began his excursion. I would rate the quality of the bike and concept as high for the price point. The assembly was not difficult, but the box indicated several tools that would be required and only one of the tools was necessary to assemble the bike. That was slightly confusing thus the rating of 4 on the assembly…

Pros
  • Easy to assemble
Cons
  • Some parents may prefer a traditional bike with training wheels

Light weight - my new review

It was for a two year old. I agree of its sturdiness and light weight, as two year old get distracted and need bike to be Carried back or around by caregiver.

Pros
  • Helps children master new skills
Cons
  • Limited seat padding may make it uncomfortable for longer rides

The best company to work with

The bike is perfect for my grandkid it’s light and adjustable with growing kids but this company is the best and most helpful

Pros
  • Lightweight frame makes it easy for parents to carry
Cons
  • May not be as versatile as other balance bike options

Awesome Light Weight Balance Bike!

I looked for a 14inch in Australia and couldn’t find one, my son had the 12ish Strider and I found the 14inch Strider quite expensive. The Joystar shipped to Australia and it’s a wonderful balance bike, lightweight and can’t see why other brands are more expensive! Great value, thank you

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE SEAT & HANDLEBAR- Built to fit kids 2 -5 Years. The seat height is 13.6"- 18.5" ( 35-47cm) adjustable. The handlebar height is 20.4' - 22.9"( 52cm - 57cm) adjustable.
Cons
  • Footrest and handlebar pads may not provide enough cushioning for active children

Great little bike for my 3 year old

Assembly was a little complicated on the handlebars but I figured it out! Great little bike for my 3 year old! He thinks he can keep up with his 5 year old brother. I can see him trying to balance more he's getting used to it. Great bike for transitioning toddlers up.

Pros
  • Reduces reliance on screens
Cons
  • May not develop the same level of confidence in children as traditional bikes with training wheels

Cheap tires for my opinion

I did not care for the tires that came with it. Cheap and bent. Bike was just fine other than that. Easy purchase, delivered on time. Right size.

Pros
  • Ideal for children aged 2-6
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children who are taller or shorter than average for their age

Inspect thoroughly - my new review

4yr old loved it however one of the wheels was already punctured. We kept it because we assembled it the night before his bday and it was too late to return/exchange. It’s a neat bike, just inspect it right away before you gift it.

Pros
  • Provides a basis for other sports
Cons
  • May not be as interactive for children as other balance bike options

Similar to Strider Classic balance bike, but w/ 14in wheels

This is just like Strider's Classic balance bike model, but with 14 in wheels. There's an excellent article on Wirecutter's website regarding balance bike. We bought the Strider Classice for our 2-year, but he's HUGE and quickly outgrew. Strider makes a 14in balance bike, but it comes with a pedal conversion kit, so it's pretty pricey and was outside our budget. I looked and looked and searched for a 14in balance bike that was under $100 and there are none other than this one from Joystar. Not…

Pros
  • Rewarding and fun
Cons
  • May not be as intuitive for children to use as other balance bike options

As it should be for my opinion

It was just the right size for my four-year-old girl. Easy to assemble. Sometimes it is difficult to keep the seat in place as it does wiggle a little. It has been a great aid to help her learn balance.

Pros
  • Introduces children to the joys of cycling
Cons
  • Limited weight distribution may make it difficult for some children to balance properly

Don’t buy it. It’s junk!

Both tires are made of very low quality foam! There is only a small amount of tread! And as you can tell in the video, the tires are WARPED & has deep indents from something else in the box pressing against it! Can you imagine giving a loved one garbage? Because that’s what this is!?! If you don’t like my review, buy it and learn the lesson for yourself.

Pros
  • Strong and durable design
Cons
  • May not be as stable as other balance bike options

Pros
  • Very happy with product, bought for grandsons birthday. Sure he will be happy with it
Cons
  • Only suitable for children aged 2-6, limiting its lifespan

Awesome balance bike

Awesome balance bike. It took less than ten minutes to assemble, the color blue is vibrant, it’s light weight, my son loves it! The seat height is also super easy to adjust and my two kids are now both enjoying the bike. Good bike at this price point.

Pros
  • Sports
Cons
  • Can be difficult to store due to its larger size

Not as good as strider. but still good

We have a strider brand bike and this bike is definitely not as good. But it is a lot cheaper. The wheels are not as balanced and the ball bearings are not as good. But for the price it will be just fine.

Pros
  • Enhances self-esteem
Cons
  • Limited turning radius may make it difficult for children to maneuver in tight spaces

Great start on my review.

The bike is an excellent starter bike. The tires are foam, but seem sturdy. Minor scratches on the frame. I’m sure come summer, my kid will have this thing trashed. I definitely will update a review come summer. For the price I can’t complain.

Pros
  • Encourages children to be active
Cons
  • May not be suitable for rough or bumpy terrain

Fantastic! in my review

These bikes have been perfect for our two young daughters! I look forward to using them more as the weather gets nice! Enhances motor skills!

Pros
  • Enhances motor skills
Cons
  • May not provide enough stimulation for children who prefer more active play

Good bike, son learned fast

My child learned very fast on this bike and loves it. It is lightweight. My 4 yo can pick it up fairly easily. My only complaint is that the area to put feet on to coast is small, so my son’s heels keep hitting the tire and acting as a brake. He had to learn to put them forward. Would be nice if those foot rests were larger. Overall solid bike.

Pros
  • Fits in most car trunks
Cons
  • Limited durability may make it wear out quickly

Great option for young kids before traditional bike.

Just as described. My 3 yr old daughter was using a scooter, but we shifted to this and she loves it! Goes to the park for 1 mile outings in each direction, without getting tired. My older girls started on traditional bikes with training wheels, then went to a balance bike for two days, and jumped back to their regular bikes, minus the training wheels. Super fast learning curve.

Pros
  • Teaches children bike etiquette
Cons
  • May not be suitable for children with larger or smaller hands

Great Balance Bike for taller toddlers.

My son really enjoys this bike. It is a perfect size for a tall 3 year old. She weighs 40 Lbs and it still has room to grow before getting a big boy bike.Highly recommend!

Pros
  • Lightweight
Cons
  • Wheels were shaped weird and were wobbly and the fork in the back was bent. Returned.

Not confident it will hold together

Recognizing the cost of the bike, I'm still concerned about its sturdiness. The handlebars are connected with the most basic of brackets and requires excessive tightening. The seat slides down to the lowest position while riding, even when firmly tightened.

Pros
  • Easy Assembly & Service: Each bike comes partially installed with user's manual. It only takes 15 minutes for a novice to assemble the glider bike. JOYSTAR Balance Bike enjoys our worry-free 12-month warranty and friendly customer service.
Cons
  • Can be difficult for children to maneuver due to its lightweight design

Awful! do not trust seller

I’m so disappointed and angry. Received this today and was working. Kid came home with dad - and opened it. She was too excited for us to pack it up and return it but the pieces were rusty and corroded. Pretty sad. I wanted to return it but hard to do with a kid that wants it now.

Pros
  • Enhances hand-eye coordination
Cons
  • Limited stability may make it less safe than other balance bike options
