🎉 16 inch bike: now an Australian Good Design Award winner!
"If only all businesses ran the way Base Bikes does! My son now owns an outstanding first bike which is super light, easy to ride, safe and looks so cool."
My 4yo struggled on a hand-me-down heavy steel bike. She could ride it unaided but hated it and was easily defeated by any form of slope and headwind. She struggled with taking off due to coaster brakes and generally just didn't like riding. We bit the bullet and after researching decided to invest in a base bike. She got on it and immediately took off and didn't stop for almost 2 hours. She mastered taking off and stopping with the hand brakes within 20 minutes and the smile and joy of riding was there.
The quality looks great, it's light and the geometry supports the learning. My 2yo son is already eyeing it off. I suspect we'll be coming back to Base for the 20-inch model when she outgrows this one.
I initially got the wrong colour (according to her), but a simple phonecall to base and they organised the swap to a blue one through a local bike shop (shout out treadly cycles in norwood) which was effortless and done within the day. Amazing customer service from a solid local company.
This bike is excellent. I was looking at a Woom and found this online. This bike is comparable in every regard to the European version . A great range of colours, we love it.
Bought as first bike for my daughter turning 4 - prompt delivery to regional NSW, super easy to put together and great adjustability with seat height and proximity to handlebars. Easy to use breaks for little hands and we love that there is no coaster breaking!
24h in and it's going fab! She's learnt how to pedal and stop with breaks already, an easy transition from a smaller balance bike.
No complaints so far, I expect this will grow with her and last a number of years!
We bought a balance bike for our three-and-a-half year old grandson who lives in Canberra. He loves his new bike and took to it straight away.
We were very impressed by the reviews on Base bikes, including those from professional bicycle sites. The quality is obvious. The design and ergonomics are very considered.
Next year he should be ready for the 16" Base bike with pedals.
I got a Base Bike for my little 4 and half a year old boy the other day. It wasn't until I unwrapped the beautiful Base Bike from the box that I realised the quality my boy was missing out on with his first bike. From the second I saw it, I knew he would love it. The quality is quite remarkable.
I surprised him with it last weekend and we immediately went to the local Uni carpark to test it out. He took to it like a duck to water and the way he was able to pedal and manoeuvre the bike was remarkable. I had unintentionally held him back from realising a greater potential.
He absolutely loves it. We took it to the local pump track and he even had a go there! Conquering that is our next challenge to work through together.
One of my good friends recommended it to me and I'm so glad he did. Thanks Base Bikes, my boy loves his new bike!
