Are you searching for cheap children's balance bikes unsure about how much to invest in your child’s first bike? We get it, the price is important – but you'll surely agree that what matters most is your little racer's health, well-being, and safety. Today we will explain why a RASCAL balance bike is the best way to start discovering the world on two wheels.
Compared to conventional brands RASCAL children's balance bikes have several unique features that contribute to the rider’s comfort, safety, and overall practicality. Here are seven points in which the RASCAL Punk! and RASCAL Trunk models confidently overtake other balance bikes on the market.
Ride fun – but first of all, ride safe! At RASCAL Bikes, years of experience in the children's cycling industry have taught us what it takes to design and produce a comfortable and safe balance bike. Our balance bikes meet the European standard EN 71, which guarantees that all the RASCAL bikes have been thoroughly tested and are safe for children.
It’s easy to recognize RASCAL balance bikes at first sight: the front wheel is larger than the rear one. Why is that?
The larger front wheel provides better stability, which is key for safe riding. A wheel with a larger diameter also runs over small obstacles more easily and ensures a smoother ride. At the same time, it contributes to a naturally upright posture and helps children maintain balance. This makes riding not only more comfortable but also extra stable.
We address the advantages of a smaller rear wheel in the following section.
Let’s roll on to the rear wheel! It is smaller than the front one, which makes it easier to mount the bike. So even tiny riders can happily jump on and ride off with the RASCAL balance bike. This provides them with more self-confidence and inspires them to ride more. The natural posture supports a healthy and comfortable riding style, and the easy handling of the balance bike contributes to greater safety. Thanks to this, children learn to keep their balance faster, which comes in handy when they are ready to move up to the standard bike with pedals.
Rascal bikes are designed with love and consideration for children. It does not only include the geometry. Also, the size and function of other components match small children's proportions. Narrow hubs reduce the overall weight and do not get in the way when bouncing. Other components such as the saddle, handlebars, stem, brake lever and grips also fit children's ergonomics. RASCAL balance bikes are simply fun to ride – just give it a go!
Guess what – there's even more to the components! Thanks to the careful selection and special design of each part, RASCAL balance bikes are super light, yet still strong and durable. The RASCAL Punk! model is built on a lightweight alloy frame available in five attractive colours.
The RASCAL Trunk balance bike is made of birch plywood that is strong, and flexible, but still resistant to all weather conditions. The low weight of the RASCAL balance bikes contributes to safe riding and easy handling.
Did you know? RASCAL balance bikes weigh under 4 kilos. Well, they are true low-weight champions!
Who says that little bikers can't ride with style? At RASCAL Bikes, we take the design of every little machine to the next level.
RASCAL Punk! balance bikes are available in five attractive colours, among which everyone can find their favourite one. And what's more?

The RASCAL Trunk model is stylish and will be appreciated not only by children but also by trendy parents.
