Benefits of the Guardian Balance Bike

Feature icon, Green Checkmark Teaches the Fundamentals First Learn more about Teaches the Fundamentals First Created with Lunacy Created with Lunacy

Balance bikes teach a child to balance, steer, and stop without adding in the complication of pedaling. When a child first learns to ride a bike using training wheels they learn to depend on them rather than learning the necessary fundamentals needed to ride a pedal bike.

    Disappointed ordering in Australia for delivery in Arizona US

    Bike arrived however I thought I had purchased a bike where training wheels and pedals could be attached. I think there was a fault in the ordering system

    Sadly, the only bike that does not have the option to add pedals or training wheels is the balance bike. If you'd like to give us a call, we can help you get set up with another size if you'd like!

    Bike for 2 yr old

    Bike is fine. Quick arrival and Easy to assemble, except the bell didn’t attach well and the foam stickies for it fell off immediately. Extras would have been helpful. They sent the wrong model bike helmet and it’s been a frustrating experience to return. Still not resolved. Overall, the customer experience felt a bit disappointing and overhyped.

    Hi Annie, Guardian Bikes here! I am so sorry to hear about the negative experience you've been having with us thus far. This is definitely not the experience we want our customers to have! We'd be happy to send out replacement shims to get your bell installed and assist with the return/exchange for your helmet. If you'd like to contact us at info@guardianbikes.com our support team would love to help! Thanks, Amber

    Brakes Failed

    This bike is exceptional. However, the breaks had pieces snap and make them inoperable after just 2 or so years of ownership. Then I had to pay for new ones. Not to mention, my child was riding and I only noticed breaks stopped working when he was using his feet to stop. Super dangerous. Shouldn’t happen on a bike this expensive, but everything else is perfect.

    Like it, but not for everyone

    We got this for my 2.5 year old and should have skipped the balance bike phase. She’s already ridden trikes at friends’ houses, and we can’t get her to adjust to no pedals. It’s great in theory, but maybe if she was 18 months it would have worked. Quality bike and very cute, but maybe for younger kids…

    Hi, Thank you for letting us know. Please send us an email at info@guardianbikes.com. We offer 1 year size exchanges if needed. We are happy to exchange your bike for a larger size with pedals. :) Best, Sam @ Guardian Bikes

    Cute but…

    We ordered the mint coloured balance bike for our 2 year old granddaughter. The bike is so cute, but the front wheel appears to be a bit bent (it doesn’t align properly) and the handlebars were slightly off as well. We adjusted them as best we could, but it’s either not the best quality build or there was an issue when it was shipped. Either way, the balance bike came in at the high end price point in this category and I can’t say it provides the best value or quality for the price.

    Hi Lisa, Guardian Bikes here. I am sorry to hear about your experience with us thus far. This is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have as every bike should arrive in perfect condition. We'd love the opportunity to make this right and turn this negative experience into a more positive one. If you'd like to contact us at Info@GuardianBikes.com we'd be happy to help. Best, Amber
