She literally learnt to ride within 20 min. Makes my life as a parent so much easier.

Our kids started riding by 3 years old. Our 3.5 daughter just moved up to the base bike 16 and she loves it! It's so light yet well built. So impressive, and really great value.

If your kids love riding (and you don't want coaster brake!), there is no better bike for them, made here right in Australia too.

Well done team. Super impressed!

If you're reading reviews and unsure about buying a bike from Base Bikes, here's my two cents: go for it!

I'm thoroughly impressed with Adam's service – he's top-notch! When I was worried about the bike arriving late for my daughter's birthday, Adam went above and beyond to ensure it got delivered on time. He kept me updated on the delivery status and even chased the courier company to make sure everything went smoothly. Thanks to him, the bike arrived just in time!

The assembly process was a breeze. The team at Base Bikes had already done most of the work, so all I had to do was tighten the handlebars and attach the pedals. The bike itself is a significant upgrade from my daughter's previous one, which she'd had for two years.

This new bike is bigger, but it's also noticeably lighter and feels like a proper bike, not just a toy. The quality components make a big difference, and my daughter was confident and proficient on it from the start. She couldn't wait to ride it!

Overall, I'd say the bike and the service from Base Bikes are unbeatable.

Purchased this bike for my daughter to learn to ride. It’s been perfect and she loves riding it. I especially love the ability to remove the pedals and use it as a balance bike to get her used to the hand brakes and riding first. Also love how lightweight it is and easy to maneuver!

We discovered Base bikes through a community bike riding session. My 5-year-old said he’d never ridden such an “amazing” bike. It was his first time using gears but they seemed really easy to change up and down. And my 3-year-old finally got the courage to try riding on two wheels, and is now confidently keeping up with his brother. Thanks Base bikes!

We are all very impressed with our Base 20 bike - it is lightweight with a geometry that means it can be ridden confidently by kids at the lower end of the size guide safely. The gear shifter is unobtrusive, so children can set it and go, or change while riding.

Our child stepped up to the 20in bike from a 14in bike they had been riding for a year, aged 4.5. The transition was smooth and now we can’t keep up with them on foot anymore!

This bike has everything you would want in a bike for a child, and it is certainly a proper bike and not a toy bike!

It was so easy to set up out of the box and required no adjusting at all. I would recommend this bike to anyone who wants a high quality bike that will last a long time and help their child develop their cycling skills.

I’m so glad we found a bike as good as this to purchase. Thanks!

We came across base bikes after a bike lesson with Lee-Anne at Ride-a-bike right. The bike was perfect for master 6, lightweight, stable and durable for a growing boy.
A few weeks in and now we can’t keep up with him! A real game changer for our family. Thank you base bikes for understanding what kids need!

Our 6-year-old daughter learned to ride a bike easily with Base Bikes. No pedal brakes, lightweight, and a simply gorgeous design—we couldn’t be happier!

My son (5 1/2 years old) received the bike for Christmas and instantly felt confident and comfortable riding it (this has not always been our experience with other bikes). Proper brakes and gears, lightweight and really looks great. He has the best bike in the family!!

I'm so glad base bikes have finally addressed the gap in the market for a truly lightweight bike that doesn't have a pedal brake. My daughter is not at all a confident rider, however she has taken to the base bike really well. Love that there is an option to take the pedals off as well so she can practice with it in balance bike mode. Her only criticism was that it doesn't come in pink, but a sticker kit fixed that! We did get a set of generic training wheels to add to it which fit no worries, however I don't think we'll need them for long.

Lightweight, high quality all round and basically ready to roll out of the box.
Clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone into getting this right. Keep up the good work.

Adam and the team at Base bikes were a pleasure to deal with. Ours was a rushed Christmas order and they over delivered on their promise. The bike is of incredible quality, perfectly suites our 3yr old with room to grow. Couldn't be happier and know exactly where we'll be buying from once out grown the current bike.

We found it hard to find a bike that would suit our child. These base bikes seem to have a slightly lower centre of gravity which seems to help with balance for little ones. We have watched our little one ride each day and improve with confidence & ability since we got this a week ago! Very satisfied!!

As a dedicated mountain biking dad with years of experience riding, racing, and maintaining bikes, I was looking for a quality, lightweight build that would help develop my 4-year-old son's bike riding skills and confidence. The design aspects described by Base are spot on, with no compromises or shortcuts.

The Base 16 has exceeded all my expectations in every way. The quality is top-notch and offers great value for money. It's been an absolute game-changer for my son and has brought so much joy to our riding.

What I love the most:
- Lightweight and easy to manage
- Great geometry ensuring a stable ride
- Quality front and back v-brakes (no pedal brake) suited for small hands
- Super adjustable to fine-tune an ever-changing riding position as he grows.

Tip: To get the best experience out of the first ride, make sure the bike is set up correctly for your child by someone experienced and skilled.

Thank you, Base Bikes, for producing such an awesome product! Already have my sights on the Base 20 for the next stage.

Impressive package. The bike came 99.9% assembled and ergonomically adjusted, nearly ready to ride. 2 mins to align and tighten the steerer tube install and tighten the pedals and off you go. The v - brakes are perfectly adjusted and the levers are easy for my 3 yr old to squeeze. Seriously quick delivery, too!! It arrived the same day as placing the order. Im not easily impressed, but this experience has left me very happy. Thanks to the mechanic who assembled it, well done!
