DMR Sidekick 12" Kid's Balance Bike White

it’s lightweight, built tough, and made to last. Your child will effortlessly transition from walking the bike to gradually mastering balance and steering – inspiring confidence at every step of the journey while learning to ride a bike, the easy way.

Mullet wheelset creates easier rollover – the larger front wheel rolls over bumps etc more easily – less like to stall or upset the steering. The front fork / steering geometry can be made more stable [slower] helping control and aiding the learning process, building confidence.

The rider sits lower ‘in’ the bike with a lower centre of gravity aiding stability / balancing, the low foot platform is positioned out of the way of the scooting area providing a useful rest for when they get rolling.

We also added a neat extra safety feature – a steering limiter on the forks, to prevent the bars from becoming crooked, which could lead to a crash. Super simple – as off.road.cc concluded, ““Another neat feature, although a relatively small thing, is the steering limiter. It’s a little rubber tether that stops the rider from over-steering and has reduced the number of wipeouts my children have experienced.”
That’s not all – our Sidekick Balance bike also features proper MTB all-terrain tyres by Vee Rubber, smaller-diameter bars and grips for smaller hands, lightweight quality aluminium frame ready for any pump track, and more.

This is a true DMR dirt bike and will give your young ripper the best start to bicycle riding anywhere they want to go.
