Teach Balance First. Add Pedals Later.
No Training Wheels. No Frustration. No Fear.
Teach your child to ride with confidence — without training wheels.
Kidvelo helps children master balance, steering and control first, then converts into their first pedal bike when they’re ready. Lightweight, adjustable and designed around growing riders, it makes learning to ride simpler, more natural and more enjoyable.
Kidvelo bikes are designed around the way children naturally learn to ride. By developing balance and control before introducing pedals, young riders can progress with less fear, fewer setbacks and more confidence from their very first ride.
Children learn to ride more naturally when they master balance, steering and braking before adding pedals. Kidvelo’s balance-first approach removes the distraction of training wheels and helps children develop real two-wheel riding skills from the beginning.
Selected Rookie models can then convert into pedal bikes, allowing children to progress when they feel confident—without needing to start again on an unfamiliar bike.
Key benefit: One familiar bike for each stage of learning.
A heavy kids bike can feel intimidating and difficult for a young child to steer, stop or pick up. Kidvelo bikes use lightweight aluminium frames and carefully selected components to reduce unnecessary weight.
This helps children manoeuvre the bike more easily, recover from small wobbles and ride for longer without becoming tired.
Key benefit: Less weight means more control and confidence.
Adult bike components do not work properly for small hands and bodies. Kidvelo bikes feature child-sized grips, shorter crank arms, low step-over frames and rider-focused geometry.
These details help children sit in a more natural position, reach the controls comfortably and place their feet securely on the ground.
Key benefit: A bike that fits the child—not a scaled-down adult bike.
Kidvelo bikes are designed with a low centre of gravity and stable handling that helps young riders feel balanced and secure.
The responsive steering allows children to make natural corrections without the bike feeling overly twitchy or difficult to control. This stability gives children the confidence to glide further and progress at their own pace.
Key benefit: Predictable handling makes learning feel safer.
Children need to learn how to slow down and stop safely from the beginning. Kidvelo bikes include child-friendly brake levers designed to be easier for smaller hands to reach and operate.
Learning to use proper hand brakes early also prepares children for their future pedal bike and encourages safer riding habits.
Key benefit: Better control and safer stopping from day one.
Kidvelo bikes offer generous seat and handlebar adjustment to accommodate growing children. Selected Rookie models also convert from balance bikes into pedal bikes, extending the useful life of the bike.
With durable construction, replaceable parts, expert sizing assistance and a five-year bike warranty, Kidvelo is designed to support more than one stage of your child’s riding journey.
Key benefit: Better long-term value for growing riders.

I can’t get enough of her smile when she sets off for a bike ride to school. It’s a pure golden moment.
He learned to ride straight away – I’m the proudest mum in the world
This kids bike is so lovely and lightweight. This balance bike gives my special needs child independence and brings so much joy to our family rides.
My kid has so much more fun on her kidvelo bike now– they are so lightweight, safe and easy to ride that she has so much more confidence riding these learner bikes than her old big box store bike which was too heavy for her to manage.
Our 10-year-old had almost given up on learning to ride after years of frustration. The Kidvelo Rookie 24 changed everything. Within just a few rides she was confidently balancing, and after adding the pedals, she simply rode away with a huge smile. Watching her finally ride alongside our family was an unforgettable moment. The bike is incredibly lightweight, beautifully made, and the balance-to-pedal design really works. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.
Kidvelo bikes are designed to make learning easier, safer and more enjoyable. Children build real balance and steering skills first, then progress naturally to pedalling when they are ready—without relying on training wheels.
Kidvelo’s balance-to-pedal system helps children develop the skills that matter most: balance, steering and confidence. Selected Rookie models convert into pedal bikes, so children can progress on a bike they already know and trust.
Every Kidvelo bike is engineered around smaller riders, with lightweight aluminium frames, low step-over heights and child-sized components. This makes the bike easier to control, easier to pick up and less intimidating from the very first ride.
Choosing the right first bike can feel overwhelming. Our Australian team provides expert sizing and product advice, assembly guidance and ongoing support to help every family start with confidence.
A child’s confidence is everything. That’s why we engineered our ultralight bikes to feel like an extension of their body, not a heavy object to wrestle with. This unmatched control turns fear into fun, which is the secret to why Kidvelo kids learn to balance and pedal faster than on any standard bike.
Our Story
Kidvelo Bikes was founded with a simple mission: to create better bikes for the next generation. We design lightweight kids bikes that help children learn to ride with confidence, balance, and control from day one.
If your child is just getting started on a bike or is moving onto lighter bike after riding one from a different brand, then our kids bike finder page will help you determine exactly the right size.
We believe cycling should feel like freedom, not work. That’s why our bikes are consistently optimized for lightness and a natural riding position. We combine cutting-edge design with medical expertise so your child can ride longer, more safely, and with more fun. It’s not just a bike – it’s the perfect tool for adventures big and small.
Leg Inseam is more important than age or height. In our bike size guide, you can easily filter by your child’s current leg inseam or age. The special feature: Our frames are designed so that the adjustable Vario stem allows them to grow with your child for a long time. This means you don’t have to buy a new bike every season, and the ergonomics will always be a perfect fit.
A high-quality bike like an Kidvelo Rookie offers three key benefits: First, its light weight helps your child learn to ride faster and more safely. Second, our ergonomic design minimizes strain on joints and back. And third, the use of brand-name components ensures our bikes retain their value exceptionally well – a significant advantage when reselling later.
Absolutely. Our bikes are built for real-world use. Whether it’s forest paths, city asphalt, or the daily commute to school – the sturdy frames and high-quality tires can handle a lot.
As little as possible. We use components that are durable and weather-resistant. We want you and your child to spend your time on the bike, not with a wrench in the workshop.
Here you’ll find tons of ideas and inspiration to make bike riding or skating with your child, even more fun!
