Construction

Strider is built quite solidly. We would expect even higher quality for the price – but everything works well, it`s also easy to assemble and requires practically no maintenance.

Welded steel is used for the frame and handlebars so this bike will last years, it is much more durable than wooden balance bikes. One of the advantages is also weight – 6.9 pounds is very good.

Seat and handlebars

Thanks to it`s design, Strider features one of the lowest seats of all balance bikes which is great for small children who have problems riding on other vehicles.

The seat is adjustable, as well as handlebars (which now use new and improved handgrips).

Riding

Strider running bike provides a great ride – it looks like a simple toy but can actually be very fast (take a look at those videos at the bottom of this page). It features foam tires instead of classic real tires, however they work well.

It`s also easy to control and features an integrated footrest for gliding and learning balance.

Conclusion: Strider is the most popular and most universal balance bike today – no matter If your kid is smaller or taller, the adjustable seat enables everyone to ride comfortably. Lightweight and with very good riding capabilities. We highly recommend it.
