Bixe 16" Pro Balance Bike for for Big Kids 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 Years Old

Love, love, love this bike! I have a 7 year old son (8 in a couple months) with autism who was struggling to ride a bicycle without training wheels. He wasn't having fun learning and Mom and Dad were getting a little frustrated. It seemed like he was understanding how to balance but didn't have confidence that he could. He was afraid of us letting go of the bike and he wasn't understanding the need to keep pedaling for momentum. Every time we would let go of the bike, he was just bale, jumping off the bike or putting his foot down to stop. So I bought the Bixe bike. He loves it! He keeps asking to ride his bike and we don't have to hold on to him or follow him closely. We've had it about a week now. I'm so happy to see his confidence skyrocket and to see his joy in riding. Attached is a video in our driveway on a slight incline. He drags his feet to brake so he doesn't go into the street. However, we were at a campground this weekend and he glided down a huge steep hill without braking. There is a nice little bar/ledge he can rest his feet on. He rode the big hill over and over again. (it was safe on the bottom of the hill). So I definitely love this bike. I think now that he has the confidence of balancing he will be able to transition to a bike with pedals better. I highly recommend this bike. I only wish we would have gotten this for him sooner!

Our 6.5 year old has been riding a secondhand Strider 12' with the longer seat post and needed a larger balance bike... this Bixe 16' is a perfect fit, and can grow with her. The larger frame and wheels made her ride much smoother and appeared easier to push off and glide for longer. On this she was able to fully lift her feet and coast (without any prompting), which she never did before on the smaller bike. She was then able to ride it for 3 miles, with some breaks to play. Really impressed with the product and would recommend to other families! Also appreciate that the tires/tubes are a standard size, so swapping them out is easy. (My only qualm is that it is a steel frame and could be made of aluminum and weigh a little less.)

My 4.5 yr old is not quite ready to ride a pedal-bike, so we got him this balance bike in the age 5-9 size (16 inch wheels). He absolutely loves it! My boy is average size for 4.5 yrs, and the lowest seat level fits him fine, with lots of room to grow. My 9 year old boy could ride it, too. It rides smooth on the pavement because of the air-filled tires, and is easy to steer. He is pretty fast on it now, which makes bike rides with my three kids a little easier, since he can almost keep up with them at times. I put slime in the tires to avoid flats. The bike weighs so little, we can stash it on our double stroller if he gets tired and wants to ride in the stroller for awhile. The only problem we had was a bent pipe at the handlebar attachment point, which I had to use pliers to bend back so we could insert the handlebars. Kind of a bother, but not worth returning and waiting for a replacement.

Overall, an amazing product. It is low price, good quality, good looks and most importantly my 7 year old just loves it. After having such a bad experience with the training wheels I thought that my daughter will never like riding a bike. With training wheels she was terrified constantly and didn't really enjoy riding. But with bixe she simply loves riding! She can go for hours without getting tired and within a week or so she can now balance her self completely, even at low speed. Again amazing! The 2 reasons I consider reducing a star is 1) the seat which is way too firm and causes pain. I solved that by wrapping a spongy cloth around the original seat. And 2) there are no hand breaks which makes it much more frightening to bike at higher speeds. Other than those 2, it's perfect!

My youngest is 7 and disabled. It's been tough finding a balance bike for older kids. This has been her favorite rolling toy since August.

My son is 9, and has autism. He has NEVER. Been interested in bikes except for turning them upside down and spinning the wheels. Until his little brother got a balance bike. His coordination issues make pedaling difficult. But he looked so uncomfortable trying to ride a bike meant for a 3 year old. I'm so glad we found and bought this bike! He's beyond excited and took it out to ride within minutes of it getting delivered.I gave it 4 stars on sturdiness only because I'm not sure how it will hold up but it does feel really strong and durable.He seems to have plenty of room to grow since the seat is adjustable and is pretty low, it should last him for a few years...or until he hopefully gives pedals a try ☺️

Excellent product! I purchased this bike for my five-year-old daughter. She is a small 5 year old and it fits her really well with the seat in the smallest position. I really like that she can grow into it for years to come. The only thing that I would recommend the manufacturer do is to add an easy adjustment on the seat height because you have to unscrew it to adjust the seat. But other than that everything is excellent and it works really well! It is excellent quality also.

This is how we trained all our kids to ride bikes. It's low stress and a great way to build balance and stamina. Also, it's light enough my 5 year old daughter lifted it above her head yesterday and was so proud of herself. My wife just rolled down the driveway with it this morning laughing her head off. . It is incredibly light and strong. It also looks very nice and whereas her older sisters drop their bikes anywhere, she insists on bringing it in the shed every night to keep it nice. So happy we got this. I love the grip tape on the frame so her shoes don't slide off when she tucks her feet up as she coasts along. The plastic covers on the adjustment bolts should keep her from getting banged up too much and keep them from rusting out as they are prone to. We've gotten the wooden scoots before and they held up well but they were made of wood and couldn't withstand the rain. Very impressed.
