Apparently children can learn to ride these earlier and more easily than they can with a regular bike.  I know a few friends with kids who have gone this route rather than training wheels.

As for the racing...well, pretty much anything humans can do they will also turn into a competition!

Yeah, we took the pedals off of Natalie’s bike and she learned to ride it in literally minutes.

But, whole bikes without pedals? Oy. Just take them off.

For a lot of cheap bikes, it is a real pain to remove the pedals and even crank arms without wrecking them or stripping the bolts. These type of bikes are east to make too. They just become hand-me-downs.

There is a carbon frame balance bike. I kid you not, lol. It’s like one grand USD.
