FirstBIKE FATbike | Light Blue Balance Bike

LEARNING MADE FUN FOR KIDS AND PARENTS TOO!       
ENJOYING THE GREAT OUTDOORS ON TWO WHEELS

The FirstBIKE FAT Cross Kids Bike is the next step up from the regular FirstBIKE. This little beast has high-quality air tyres which offer superior comfort and grip for little shredders that go a little bit harder than others. It even has a brake on there to slow them down before they enter those berms. With plenty of grip and a range of adjustments this balance bike is definitely one of the better options out there.

We all remember the first time we rode without training wheels, however, there's a new way to speed up the learning process! Balance bikes teach your kid how to balance while letting them put their feet down at any time. This method will effectively teach your child the joy of two wheels as early as 20 months (with optional lowering kit). The model you are viewing features air inflated knobby tyres and a rear drum brake SafetyStop, making it ideal for off-road conditions with mostly grass, gravel, or loose dirt surfaces

Read on to learn about all the great benefits.  

Why are balance bikes better?

Balance bikes offer several great features which will encourage confidence while being fun at the same time:

• They are MUCH lighter.  
• Kids can put their feet down at any time = Encourages confidence. 
• They learn balance immediately, this is the biggest drawback of training wheels. 
• The lack of training wheels allows your child to master cornering at the same time.
