Description and specs
Want to explore off the beaten track? Our 900 balance bike is fitted with real
12"" tyres and a brake, and is designed for 2- to 4½-year-olds (85 to 105 cm)
#### HOW DO BALANCE BIKES HELP WITH KIDS' PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT?
Moving, learning and playing are essential parts of a child's development.With
their balance bike, kids will learn balance, spatial awareness and
coordination skills, while immersing themselves in imaginary worlds.
#### OUR N°1 CHOICE: EASY LEARNING
Each part has been specifically designed by our B'TWIN team.The low frame
makes it easy for kids to get on and off their bike and deal with obstacles
(pavements, hills).The footrests encourage them to lift their feet off the
ground and experiment with balancing. The position of the footrests prepares
them to put their feet in the right place on a real bike.Last but not least,
the saddle curves up at the back to help kids sit in a position from which
they can propel themselves efficiently.
#### IS THERE SOMETHING TO STOP THE HANDLEBARS TURNING?
We've chosen to let the handlebar rotate a really long way so that kids can
manoeuvre at a much wider range of angles. However, the shape of the frame
stops the wheel from coming far enough round for the handlebars to end up back
to front. Kids are given free rein to practise their steering while remaining
safe.
#### A FUN DESIGN
To please both kids and parents, this bike comes in several colours, with a
range of inspiring urban and sporty styles. Have you noticed the symbols on
the frame? They're different on each model and are sure to catch the eye of
budding explorers. We know that, at this age, details really matter!
#### JUST THE RIGHT WEIGHT
Our Runride 900 balance bike weighs 3.6 kg. This top-of-the-range model is
incredibly light and has real wheels (hub, spokes, rubber tyres, 12"")! The
aluminium parts (frame, handlebar and seat post) make the entire thing really
light, giving it the best balance between weight and efficiency. The only risk
with this balance bike is that you'll struggle to keep up with your mini
cyclist!
#### Stop Easy innovation: a patented braking system designed for children.
More accessible brakes and a more comfortable grip are the main benefits of
our Stop Easy system. For more natural movement, the brake lever is pressed
parallel to the handlebars. Whilst progressive, this innovative brake lever
also provides 30% more braking power compared to a conventional brake lever.
An innovation from our B'Twin team, loved by both parents and children.
#### Brake like the big kids!
The brakes use a V-brake system with mini aluminium callipers. Our teams have
designed it to be fully compatible with balance bike use: the adjusting screw
is at the back so that the child's legs can't rub against it as they push
themselves along.
#### 12"" WHEELS
For riding just like the grown-ups on all types of terrain, we have opted for
wheels equipped with real rubber hybrid tyres with an inner tube to ensure
grip and shock absorption.The 12"" wheel size helps to feel better prepared
for riding over obstacles.Parents haven't been left out: the angled valve
gives you easy access when inflating it.
#### WHY IS THE BEARING QUALITY IMPORTANT?
The principle of the balance bike is for kids to propel themselves along and
use this motion to learn to balance. The bearing quality is important as it's
what allows kids to pick up enough momentum to lift their feet and find their
balance.To help kids pick up speed, the spoked wheels are equipped with an
aluminium hub with ball bearings (just like on big bikes). Get ready for some
real workouts with your budding rider!
#### ADJUSTMENT RANGE: A DETAIL THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
We've done everything we can to make this balance bike fit your child for as
long as possible by giving it a saddle that adjusts in height by 9.5 cm. Min
saddle height: 31.5 cm / max 41 cm.When kids are just starting out, the saddle
should be at crotch height.The handlebar can also be adjusted by 2.5 cm.Max
handlebar height: 55,5cm.Its handlebar and quill stem let you adjust the
child's position forwards and backwards (5 cm).

adjusted using a 5 mm Allen key.You'll also need a 5 mm Allen key to remove
the wheels.This tool is provided with the balance bike.
