Your child's bbike is a safe learning-to-ride balance bike for children aged 2 to 5 years.
The sturdy wooden bbike has no pedals - your young child 'rides' by walking or running forward while sitting on their bbike.
The bbike quickly helps your child develop the critical sensorimotor skills needed for balance, steering and coordination - all learnt safely while your child is still quite young.
With these skills developed using their bbike, children can easily, and safely, master the transition directly to a standard two-wheeler bike - without training wheels - when the time is right.
history of the bbike
Originally developed by occupational therapists in Europe, this learn-to-ride bbike was used as a treatment tool to improve the physical skills development of young children.
The ideas were based on the 19th Century 'walking bicycles' and allowed quite young children to learn the skills of balance and steering without having to master the skill of pedalling at the same time.
These bbikes soon became popular educational toys for young children in many European countries as parents realised how safe and easy it was for their young child to learn bicycle riding skills before progessing to a traditional two-wheeler bicycle.
We at bbikes Australia are working towards making bbikes affordable and accessible for every family!
