Once they’ve started taking their first steps, they can use a ride-on toddler scooter, which can quickly progress to them riding a grown-up Mini Micro toddler scooter. The average age for a child to learn to ride a pedal bike is between 3 and 7 years old. Balance bikes, therefore, tend to cater for ages 2-5 years, operating as a precursor to a pedal bike.The age at which a toddler can pedal a bike varies from child to child, but typically toddlers start to develop the coordination and strength needed to pedal a bike around 2-3 years of age. However, it’s important to remember that every child develops at their own speed. We advise starting with a balance bike.As a rule of thumb, though, if your child can walk with a steady gait, they will be able to ride a kick scooter. This places the typical ‘age of readiness’ at about two or three years old.
