Runride 500, 10" Kids' Balance Bike

Moving, learning, and playing are essential parts of a kid's development. With their balance bike, kids will learn balance, spatial awareness, and coordination skills while immersing themselves in imaginary worlds.

Each part has been specifically designed by our B'TWIN team. The low frame makes it easy for kids to get on and off their bike and deal with obstacles (pavements, hills). The footrests encourage them to lift their feet off the ground and experiment with balancing. The position of the footrests prepares them to put their feet in the right place on a real bike. Last but not least, the saddle curves up at the back to help kids sit in a position from which they can propel themselves efficiently.

We've chosen to let the handlebar rotate a really long way so that kids can maneuver at a much wider range of angles. However, the shape of the frame stops the wheel from coming far enough around for the handlebars to end up back to front. Kids are given free rein to practice their steering while remaining safe.

To please both kids and parents, this bike comes in several colors, with a range of inspiring urban and sporty styles. Have you noticed the symbols on the frame? They're different on each model and are sure to catch the eye of budding explorers. We know that, at this age, details really matter!

Our Runride 500 balance bike weighs 7.5 lbs. It weighs more than the Runride 100 model because of the brake and the bearings in the wheels.

More accessible brakes and a more comfortable grip are the main benefits of our Stop Easy system. For more natural movement, the brake lever is pressed parallel to the handlebars. While progressive, this innovative brake lever also provides 30% more braking power compared to a conventional brake lever. An innovation from our B'Twin team, loved by both parents and kids.

We've opted for a V-brake system with mini aluminum calipers. It has been designed specifically for balance bikes: The adjusting screw is at the back so that kids' legs can't rub against it. We've put ribs on the brakes that slot into the grooves on the plastic rims, giving you great braking. The slight noise you hear when the brake pads rub against the rims is proof that the brakes are working effectively.

The wheels are 10", with plastic rims and solid EVA foam hybrid tires.

The principle of the balance bike is for kids to propel themselves along and use this motion to learn to balance. The bearing quality is important as it's what allows kids to pick up enough momentum to lift their feet and find their balance. We've chosen the simple option for our entry-range model, with a metal axle inserted directly through the wheel's plastic rim.

We've done everything we can to make this balance bike fit kids for as long as possible by giving it a saddle that adjusts in height by 11 cm. Minimum saddle height: 30.2 cm Maximum saddle height: 41.2 cm When kids are just starting out, the saddle should be at crotch height so that they can place their feet flat on the floor. The handlebar can also be adjusted by 8 cm. Min. handlebar height: 43.5 cm Max. handlebar height: 51.5 cm

Frame: steel Handlebar: steel, 390 mm long, 19 mm across Grip: SEBS polymer, 90 mm long Seat post: steel, 218 mm long, 22.2 mm across Saddle: polypropylene foam, 195 mm long, 124 mm wide Rims: plastic Tires: EVA foam, 10" Bearings: ball bearings Brake: Stop Easy lever and V-brake calipers

We also took parents' needs on board. The "quick release" system lets you adjust the height of the saddle without tools. The handlebar can be adjusted using a 5 mm Allen key. You will need a 5 mm Allen key to remove the wheels The balance bike is supplied with the right tool.

All our balance bikes are tested in the lab. These tests confirm that they comply with the EN-71 safety standard for toys as well as checking the product's durability and braking power. We also perform field tests to assure ourselves that the product meets users' needs and stands up to real conditions from the point of view of both kids and parents!

The box contains the dismantled bike (wheels, frame, and saddle) and the tools needed to assemble it. Don't worry, we've included instructions on how to put it together. Budding young riders will have a bike that's been lovingly assembled and adjusted to the right height.

Toys should not be used on public roads. When learning to cycle, kids should stay on the pavement. And for safety reasons, protective equipment (helmet and pads) is strongly recommended.

We offer a full range of spare parts so that you can keep enjoying your products for longer.
