Benefits of the Guardian Balance Bike

Feature icon, Green Checkmark 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.

    Excellent bike but didn’t get the bell

    We purchased this for our grandsons birthday. The bell we ordered to go with it showed delivered so I assumed it was in the box with the bike. It was not. That being said, this was his favorite gift. Once he got it opened he lost all interest in the other gifts. Just make sure you receive everything as soon as you receive the package.

    Bad designed accessories

    The bell does not fit and badly badly scrapped up the bike before my daughter even got it. The seat clamp is impossible to remove to replace with the colored one we bought to the point it never got replaced. The handlebars are also impossible unless you have hairspray which I do not. I dont know why my bike even came assembled with the wrong items it I then had to remove and replace anyway. The bike is nice but skip all the accessories. The bell really badly did damage. If her birthday were not in a few days I would ship it back for a replacement.

    The Best Bikes at the Best Price

    What is Total Value?

    We believe great bikes shouldn’t break the bank. When we say you’re saving money, we mean it—no inflated prices, no gimmicky markdowns.

    Our expert team sources top-quality components and frames and assemble every bike right here in our USA factory.

    By manufacturing domestically and managing our own factory, we avoid high tariffs and retail markups, saving you hundreds of dollars on premium bikes without sacrificing quality.

    How Do We Calculate Value?

    We keep it straightforward: we compare the actual prices of three comparable bikes with similar quality and components. Our "Total Value" is always at or below their average price, ensuring you get the best deal every time.
