Smart Gear Smart Balance Bike Classic - SG311C33

Smart Balance Bikes by Smart Gear are often referred to as run bikes or balance bikes and are pedal free and don't need training wheels. Smart Balance Bikes help a child develop the most important skills necessary to later ride a 2-wheel bicycle with pedals: BALANCE and MOTOR SKILLS.

Smart Balance Bikes develop a childs balance and coordination by simply allowing the child to sit and walk or run with the bike by pushing with their feet. If the bike starts to fall, kids instinctively use their feet to regain their balance.

With a Smart Balance Bike, once a child has gained some momentum and balance control they can lift their feet up as much as they feel comfortable and start cruising. Traditional toddler bikes with training wheels don't necessarily train or teach a child balance skills necessary to ride a bicycle. The training wheels are merely a crutch that give the child a false sense of security and merely keep the child busy or entertained rather than actually helping the child develop the necessary skills to ride a bicycle. Smart Balance Bikes are also suitable for children who need to be encouraged with motor skill development and therapeutic training.
