Raleigh Balance Bikes

Team Burner - Burner - Sherwood
View full specification + Enquire NowCall us 0191 5678 310 darkcycles@btconnect.com
A balance bike is an ideal first step for a child to learn how to ride without pedals. The child scoots along by sitting on the saddle and moving their feet backwards and forwards, keeping either one foot or both feet on the ground at all times. They learn basic cycling skills; balance and coordination whilst having great fun and looking good
- Aluminium frame; for your child’s first experience of cycling an aluminium frame is ideal it is lightweight, easy to handle and manoeuvre
- Handlebars for a more upright riding position; allowing your child to become more aware of things around them whilst riding
- Graphics under a clear coat; by applying the bike graphics underneath a clear lacquer the Burner design will remain undamaged for years to follow
- A super cool handlebar fitting race plate with alphabet and number sticker sets
- Colour co-ordinated saddle, grips and tyres; at Raleigh we take great pride in designing our Children’s range, ensuring that each component – however small is matched to the bike design.

Early Rider Spherovelo Blue 7months to 24months
£79.99 Red, Blue, Mint and White
Meet the ‘Spherovelo’, a unique push along ride on for 10-24 month olds. Even earlier with mum or dad's help. The Spherovelo is the world’s first ride on to accelerate the development of young children by helping them make the connection between their senses (vision, pressure, equilibrium) and their motor system. Some might call it balance but it’s really more about the coordination of our muscles in response to what we see and feel. It manages this by being a ride on that’s unstable on the one hand (so that the child is required to effect some control - like with a bike) but safe on the other; a combination never before achieved.
