STEEL Niner Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 HI I am looking for a balance bike for my son who is 2 this week. Any other options recommendations other than the blue/silver ones from cape cycles? I have heard the wooden ones do not last in the dry highveld areas. Any other choices out there? Islabikes does a cool one but the postage quote is as much as the bike!

STEEL Niner Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 thats the only other one ive seen and is easily available, yes. Opinions?
Christopher Brunsdon Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I got my monster the Y-Bike and he loves it. All the kids in our town (2yrs) have got them. I even take him to his creche on it (1km from home). I have got a normal bicycle for him that I took the pedals and chain off, but he is still to short for it.
NinjaManiak Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Get him a proper bike (Lynskey Titanium), just like dad should have. Ninja Maniac2009-06-10 06:32:12
Dirtbreath Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 There's that plastic one, cant remember the name but it looks really sturdy.

The thing is solid and you can see some SAffer engineer had fun designing that thing. Nice and solid and well designed. Like the EasiRider's and have now found my little monsters Christmas present. Depending on your kid, at 2yrs the Y-Bike is better, but at > 3 I will go for the EasiRider. Y-Bike is < R400 and GAME have the best price.
Jackes Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Three good examples there, but what prices are you looking at each for the other two ?Jackes17542009-06-10 06:42:56

bduplessis Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I also got a y-bike for my son.Pitty he is 1 year old and cannot ride it yet.
Christopher Brunsdon Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Trust me, when his paws can touch the ground you will never see him not on it. My little monster goes everywhere in the house with his I originally got one of those black bikes (R180) as the turning circle is way smaller as he started to ride on his black bike when he was 15mths. He got his Y-Bike when he turned 2 last month.

Old school Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Pm me for a group order of 3 easy riders. R1000 each.
Cranky Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 The JD Bug is brilliant and well worth the money. I paid R650 last year. It will last from age 2 to 5 years. My kids ride them everywhere, even up and down the passage in our house.
