RetrospecCub Plus Toddler Balance Bike for Boys & Girls Ages 18 Months - 4 Years No Pedals with Lightweight Frame and Adjustable V-Brake, Seat and Handlebar for Kids

Assembly was straightforward. The bike looks good in the wild.

We cannot afford to purchase a new bike every year as our little one grows. So, it was important to find an affordable bike that would grow with him for a couple years until he was ready for a bike with pedals. After lots of research we decided to go with this bike and we are so happy we did!This bike has so many pros compared to others - this bike has rubber wheels compared to the foam wheels that come on the majority of bikes in the price range. The seat has one of the larger ranges of heights for the seat which means it will grow with my little one. At the time it was slightly more than $100 where most similar quality bikes are $200+. We love that it has a handbrake. Right now, my little one is 2 years and cannot quite reach the handbrake but as he grows and starts going faster he will be able to learn how to slow himself down without wearing holes into his shoes.This bike appears to not come with valve caps for the tire stems (several other people commented on this), but if you consider that this bike is intended for 18 months+ and the valve caps could be a choking hazard, it make sense that it would not come with the bike. It does not affect the bikes ability to maintain tire pressure.

Mi bebé acaba de cumplir 2 años y le eñencanto vimos varias opciones y esta fue la más cómoda y práctica para su edad, enseguida pudo montarse y disfrutarla

This bike is nearly perfect for my 2yr, almost 3yr old daughter. She has mastered the beginner balance bikes so it was time to upgrade to a real bike. She picked it up instantly and loves it. It is a bit heavy compared, so its good she started on the cheap/plastic bikes first.As far as the bike, this is a solid built and beautiful bike, easy to climb into, overall fit is great, and my daughter is tiny. Highly adjustable so I know this will grow with her until she is ready for a bigger pedal bike.My only complaint is the hand brake is hard to pull, even for me. Totally impossible for my daughter. I did a ton of research since im also a bike guy, and knew this could be an issue. I also understand that this is less than half the price of the top competitors in this field. So its still worth it all day, might just remove the brake so it doesnt cause confusion.Overall totally stoked to find this and I know my daughter is the same, best for the price by far.

Bought this for my then 16 month old grandson. My son has had him working on it already.

The first time we got this balance bike it was missing a piece. We got the replacement and it’s just weird. It’s not working properly. My kid won’t ride it 😭

We love this bike overall. We bought it for my toddler’s 2nd birthday and he loves it! He took to it right away. It’s light enough for him to control (and for me, a not very strong woman, to carry over my shoulder when he gets tired of it on a walk). I also love that the tires are rubber & air filled—I feel like they more durable than foam or hard plastic like other balance bikes & it gives him more traction and shock absorbency on the grass or in the driveway/sidewalk. The hand brake will be nice as he gets older and get the hang of balancing. I love the fun color too.I knocked off a star because the tires didn’t come with the valve caps for the tires. Very weird. I email the company in May and they said they would send caps if I wanted, but that the caps were out of stock until July.

Have had this bike for about a year now. Kid loves it and still uses it. Great for learning. Garage kept and still in great condition.
