Balance Bike

The Rothan 14 was the largest balance bike that Islabikes offer, and is a very lightweight balance bike, weighing only 3.4kg, and comes with a rear brake.

It features its own custom short-reach brake lever for a rear brake which works as a great introduction to the concept of braking.

The Islabikes Rothan 12 was the smallest Islabike you can buy, and is designed for children from the age of about 2 years (inside leg 30cm), there’s a larger Rothan 14 if they’re a bit taller.

With a minimum inside leg measurement of just 26cm the woom 1 is one of the best balance bikes for shorter toddlers with little legs who are ready to move onto two wheels.

However it’s got 12cm of growth so it’s good for slightly taller children too – and with plenty of room for growth.

The woom 1 is really lightweight which means it’s easy for a younger rider to move about – plus it’s kinder for you to carry when they get fed up and decide they’ve had enough balance biking for one day!

The Kidvelo Rookie 12 has been designed by some of the most experienced people in the balance bike industry.

We’ve taken a close look at this bike and were really impressed. They’ve designed Kidvelo Rookie 12 balance bike from the ground up with all the attention to detail you’d expect from people who’ve spent most of their careers working with balance bikes.
It has features such as sealed bearings on the wheels and a proper headset – bits you don’t see but really make a difference to the quality of the product.
