How do I measure my child’s stride length?

The child stands with their back against the wall, legs stretched out. Slide a book horizontally between their thighs until it rests against the top. The distance from the top edge of the book to the floor is the stride length.

What is the purpose of the steering angle limiter?

Young novice cyclists often still steer in a jerky manner. The limiter dampens excessive steering movements, thereby preventing falls. The handlebars are also padded.

What makes the Run 8 particularly beginner-friendly?

It’s our smallest balance bike: maintenance-free 8-inch wheels and a footboard with a low step-through for getting on and off safely.

The Run 8 is designed for the very youngest riders and beginners. The Speedy 10 is suitable for children with a little more experience; its saddle height ranges from 33 to 43 cm.
