If you can walk you can ride. Balance Bikes by ZUM have no pedals and no training wheels. The ZUM Bike uses a foot to floor motion as a means of propulsion. The Bike is perfect for developing coordination and balance without the anxiety of training wheels. By learning balance first, the transition from the ZUM Balance Bike to a traditional geared bicycle with pedals is made VERY easy. This bike is great for children (ages 3 and up) that are just learning to ride. No peddles, and no brakes make this one of the easiest bikes for young riders to get around on. These bikes are built for years of enjoyment.
