"A new breed of bicycles that help improve balance and allay jitters is changing how kids reach this childhood milestone. The bikes promote a simple strategy: ride without the pedals first."
“For an easy and stylish way to teach young children to ride, Martha looks to Early Rider balance bikes and Little Nutty helmets by Nutcase."
“You have to remove life’s training wheels someday… Start slowly with an Early Rider learner bike… The clever contraption turns traditional learning-to-ride philosophy on its head by teaching tykes to balance from day one."

"Just because your child is too young for pedals, doesn’t mean he’s too young to appreciate the hefty dose of awesomeness that comes with the Early Rider Classic training bike.”
“We’ve posted about balance bikes before, but the much-acclaimed Early Rider, formerly available only in Europe, is a great new entry in the Stateside arena, with a couple of features that differentiate it from the rest of the crowd.”
"Learning to ride a bike is a childhood rite of passage — especially in sunny L.A. where Tori Spelling and Minnie Driver's little ones ride around on Early Rider bikes. Unlike traditional tricycles, these wooden and pedal-less bikes help kids — as young as 20 months-old — really master balance, which is key to building confidence for later riding."
“Other trainer bikes will run for cover when your little one rolls into the cul-de-sac on this Early Rider Classic.”
"Early Rider Balance Bikes have been the “Must Have” toy in Europe for the past year and half and until now parents would have to travel to Europe to get their hands on this fab bike. Although there have been other Balance Bikes selling in the US nothing compares to Early Rider Bikes.”

“The Early Rider Classic — with its cool chopper styling, ‘fat-boy’ rear wheel and faux-leather saddle — is a trainer “balance” bike with attitude. The pedal-free design encourages mobility and rapid development of balance, strength and fine motor skills in children aged 2-5 years.”
“The Early Riders are bikes without pedals. They are super cool looking and teach kids balance. Unlike tricycles, the Early Rider lets little kids feel like a big kid. They also improve self-confidence and motor skills.”
“The best and hottest products for kids.”
