The RASCAL Punk! is an eye-catching balance bike thanks to its “mullet” wheel setup, with a 14″ front wheel and a 12″ rear wheel. This design is intended to help the bike roll more smoothly over bumps at the front while keeping the rear end compact and easy for smaller riders to manage, and is more commonly found on adult mountain bikes.
The brushed aluminium frame with a semi-transparent lacquer finish completes the bikes distinctive look.
Weighing just 3.9kg, the RASCAL Punk! is a lightweight option compared to many balance bikes with steel frames, which can make it easier for younger children to handle and manoeuvre. The smaller 12″ wheel at the rear makes it easier for little legs (from 35.5cm) to get on and off.
