🚲 Strider Sport Balance Bike - Ages 3 to 7 Years - Pedal Conversion Kit available separately Review

As a lot of people said you pay ten bucks more for a 'pink' bike because you have to buy it separately. Seems a bit sexist not to offer a fuchsia kit, right? (And by the way, our daughter looked at all three bike colors and chose pink, which was funny since she almost always chooses blue.) And the pedals are small. The child's legs constantly slip to the side. Do you know why they can't be wider?

The pedals are easy to mount on my daughter's Strider bike. However, it sucked a bit that buying a Strider bike in a color other than blue or green meant we had to buy the pedals separately from the bike. The blue and green versions came with a set of pedals. And if you pay for the bike and pedal set separately, the amount is more than the cost of the blue or green bike that actually comes with the pedals.

Wow this bike is amazing. My daughter only started riding the Strider 12 Sport a month ago but settled in quickly and begged for pedals. I hesitated, thinking she definitely needed more practice. So I thought it would be a good investment. If the pedals didn't work, she could have just used the frame and 14x as a balance bike first. Well, within 10 minutes she had that bike sorted out and she was pedaling around the neighborhood. It is well designed and intuitive for kids using balance bikes…

We apologize for the length of this review. Great motorcycle. BUT, I'm still shocked that without a pedal kit you don't have any brakes at all. My son is not strong enough to pedal as we live in a very hilly area but he loves to travel and has great balance. So I fixed it. Started with just the rear brake but not enough for a 4 year old due to lack of grip strength. Front and rear brakes and we're in. It can stop safely and quickly. parts required. Shimano brake lines and cables. Tektro brake…

My son started riding the original Strider balance bike at age 2 and recently (now 4 years old) asked if he could have a balance bike like his older brother. I didn't feel like it was fully pedal bike ready, but did some research to see what options we had. Found this newly released Strider 14x and thought why not stick with Strider, they have proven to be knowledgeable and trustworthy. It turned out to be the perfect transition. We started pedaling straight away and it wasn't until the second…

My now 4 year old started riding a 14 inch balance bike when he was 3 and mastered it early this summer. So about 3 months ago he asked me to ride a pedal bike and put the pedals on this bike. He couldn't ride at all. We decided it was too soon. Then about 2 months ago he took his sister's Woom 16" bike and rode into the sunset! Now he comfortably rides her bike which is still too big for him as he is only 30th percentile but he still can't pedal this bike (video taken today).The pedals are…

Bought my son a Specialized pedal bike after he clearly mastered his first Strider but refused to step on it! There's just no certainty. After a year of bad luck I bought him this 14" Strider and left the pedals off. The second day he asked me for pedals so I installed them that weekend, very skeptical that he would try to pedal. God I was wrong. , he took off like a rocket before I could get my camera out! The next day he got on his big 16" Specialized and he could ride it too! All he needed…

Excellent wheel. Easy to assemble. Very good looking. Very fast delivery. I've been looking for a gift for my 4 year old for a long time and came up with three finalists: Go Glider 2-in-1 (too many bad reviews) and Ridgeback (too expensive for a balance bike and probably too big). For her second birthday she was given her first balance bike. It was a 10" Puky from Germany. She was scared and didn't look at it for almost two years. About 6 weeks ago, in February 2018, she picked it up and got…

The wheel concept is brilliant and the Strider is the best in the business in my opinion. My son got his Strider 12 Sport at 3 and has never had to use training wheels. He was mastering his balance at 4 and outgrowing his current Strider so we bought this bike along with a set of pedals to see if we could get him to pedal instead of push. Well less than a day after arrival we had the pedals and he learned how to pedal well, mission accomplished! The problem is that after the conversion to the…
