Guardian Bikes were designed to make it easier for a child to balance, pedal, and stop on. With our extended wheelbase and lower center of gravity it is easier to balance. Our bikes are lightweight which provide an easier experience for a child to control and steer the bike, and with our patented single-lever brake system kids have an easier and safer way to stop their bike.

​​The balance bike method means kids can learn how to master balance before learning to pedal. They master balance by walking first with the bike and as they gain more confidence begin kicking their feet off the ground to move the bike forward. Once they are ready, pedals are added and they immediately pick up riding a bike without the need for training wheels.

While we recommend using the balance bike method when teaching your child to ride a bike, we understand that all children learn differently. If training wheels are preferred ALL Guardian Bikes are compatible with training wheels. Compatible training wheels can be purchased here.

We have developed a revolutionary 30 second sizing quiz on our website called RideSizer®. With over 98% accuracy, it takes into account your child’s measurements, age, and riding abilities to find the perfect bike size for your child. Take our bike sizing quiz here.
