Q&A

  |  The tires are not inflatable. They are made of foam rubber.
  |  Yes, but only from about 3-4yo size. It does not go low enough for younger toddlers.
  |  Strider bikes are available in 12", 16", and 20" models (number refers to wheel diameter in inches).
  |  If your child is proficiently walking, your child can ride a Strider bike! Our U.S. Patented design offers the perfect combination of low seat height, low center-of-gravity, and light weight, allowing even the youngest children to find success.
  |  Handlebar height should be at the lowest setting for 18 - 24 month olds, mid-height for 36 - 48 months old, and at the highest setting for 48+ months old. Typically, you want the handlebars to be about mid-torso. For older/bigger kids that still love their Striders but are getting too big, we also offer our XL Handlebar.
  |  We don't have one in particular, but we do highly recommend that you keep it VERY simple and as light as possible. Look for a very basic frame design and a bike with the least number of "bells and whistles" as possible. They all add weight to the bike and aren't useful for a child this age. We also highly recommend that pedal bikes have HAND BRAKES. Do not buy a bike for the child to "grow into". A bike that is too large doesn't fit, is too heavy, and is unsafe. The child needs to be able touch the ground with both feet flat footed.
  |  Proper seat height should have the child sitting on the saddle, with feet flat on the ground, with a slight bend in the knees. For long distance striding on smooth surfaces, you can adjust slightly up. For obstacles, tricks, and off-road riding, the saddle should be adjusted for slightly more bend in the knees. Strider offers two different length seatposts 220mm and 305mm. Older/bigger riders will benefit by using the XL seatpost.
  |  Typically when a child is 3 ? years old they will benefit from the XL Seatpost and Saddle. The saddle height range for the XL Seatpost is 41-48cm (16-19").
