Does anyone have any experience with these no pedal bikes? My husband is wanting to purchase one for our 2 year old. He's shown me quite a few youtube videos of kids actually RACING them in competitions at 2 years old !! I of course, would require a helmet and pads...but I wondered if anyone had any actual experience with their child? THANKS !!

Just buy him a real bike with training wheels so he can learn how to pedal.

Well, how many two and three year olds are pedaling bikes. the point of this is that they learn the whole balance on two wheels concept way before you would eve put them on a normal bike, then they just add the pedaling skill later. Sound concept, I think.

I agree and he already has the pedal concept from a tricycle. This just looks like it's to learn balance early on and avoid training wheels.

My son was 3 when I got him his first pedal bike.
