Monthly balance bike rental with the Bike Club

From £5.94 per month (15% off for 12 months)

Frog Tadpole Balance Bike 2021

We're adding the Bike Club in here because they can be a good way to get a quality balance bike more cheaply, and without the upfront cost.

With the Bike Club you pay a monthly subscription in return for a long term lease of one of their new or used kids bike.  When your child outgrows it you just send the bike back and upgrade to the next size.

They only stock great quality, lightweight bikes (as they need them to last lots of children), so you have peace of mind that you're always going to have a decent, reliable bike for your child.

The Bike Club stock Frog, woom and Forme balance bikes - all premium brands with high price tags if you're buying new.

They also do larger balance bikes with 14" wheels such as the Frog Tadpole and woom 1 Plus for older / taller children who aren't ready for pedals yet, and the Frog Tadpole Mini with 10" wheels for those little ones ready to get riding!

You can often opt for a reUse balance bike which has been leased before and is therefore cheaper (and better for the environment).

Prices start from £5.49 per month and include a 15% discount for the first 12 months.

Bike Club do tend to run out of popular models well before Black Friday so we'd recommend acting sooner rather than later if you want to sign up.

For more info read our guide Should I subscribe to Bike Club instead of buying a kids bike?

What is a balance bike, and should I buy one for my toddler this Black Friday?

A balance bike is a lightweight two-wheeled bike without pedals, allowing toddlers to scoot along and develop their balance, making the switch to a pedal bike far easier.

Balance bikes are typically less expensive and much lighter than pedal bikes, making them more enjoyable for very young children. We highly recommend balance bikes as the best way for kids to learn to ride, rather than using traditional stabilisers and a heavy steel-framed pedal bike.

These articles will help you:

Kidvelo Rookie 12

Was £130 Now £108

The Kidvelo Rookie 12 is another one of our reviewed and recommended balance bikes.

The tyres are "proper" pneumatics ones (which you don't get on cheaper balance bikes).  This means they're grippy and comfortable for outside riding.

The Rookie 12 weighs just 2.89Kg making it one of the lightest balance bikes with air filled tyres available.

It's suitable for toddlers and young children with a inside leg from 30cm through to 48cm.  This impressive range is one of the biggest available, so this balance bike can fit children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years - depending on how tall the child is.

The Kidvelo Rookie has a very upright riding position with swept back handlebars, which helps position them ready for learning to ride a pedal bike.
