Puky

The Puky LR 1 is Puky’s mid-sized balance bike aimed at children 2.5 years and over, and is a popular bike as Puky are well known for building robust balance bikes.

The bike features a kickstand (which is quite unusual for balance bikes), foam tyres and a special ‘banana saddle’ providing young riders with a secure grip and allowing plenty of running movement, whilst staying stable.

The Puky LR 1 also has a low stand over height with a big platform for when kids want to put their feet up to rest when they pick up speed, which makes this different from a lot of balance bikes.

The Puky LR 1L is a robust balance bike for children aged 2.5 years and over who want to grow their confidence on wheels, with a bike offering excellent grip and comfort.

The pneumatic tyres are great for all surfaces, both indoors and outdoors and are quiet when in use. The sturdy frame of the LR 1L features a large, low footboard allowing kids to easily rest their legs once they’ve picked up speed.

This balance bike also features the popular Puky banana saddle to ensure young riders are comfortable and won’t slip off whilst riding.

The saddle and handlebars on the LR 1L can be easily adjusted so the bike will still fit your child as they grow. It differs from the other Puky balance bikes because this doesn’t feature a brake. 

Some toddlers are desperate to start pedalling, and are adamant they won’t use a balance bike because it doesn’t have pedals. If this is your child, then the Puky Fitsch might be the answer!

The two rear wheels provide stability whilst your child pedals and learns how to steer, although they will need to learn to balance before moving to a more traditional pedal bike.
