Yvolution.YVeloJrBalanceBikeY Velo Junior Balance Bike, Stage 1: Toddler (Yvolution)

  • This training bicycle helps toddlers learn how to steer and balance, while building the confidence they will need once they are ready for a more traditional bicycle with pedals.
  • Children are seated so that their legs can reach the ground comfortably. To get going, they simply walk to ride and then, eventually, run and cruise.
  • Children can easily and safely control when they stop by placing their legs firmly on the ground. A built-in steering limiter allows children to maintain control of how much they turn.
  • The Y Velo Junior Balance Bike has a single front wheel and two rear wheels, offering extra stability for early riders.  Its wide tires provide a steady ride across many terrains, taking kids from the sidewalk, to the boardwalk, to the soccer field.
  • As a child develops balance and assurance, Y Velo Junior Balance Bike grows with them. This first bike features an adjustable seat and handle bars, and it also becomes a single wheel bike when one of the rear wheels is removed.  As the child gets older, they can graduate to the larger Y Velo Balance Bike.
