🎉 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."
Purchased a 20 inch bike for my six-year-old son. He loves it. Very high-quality. The price was slightly more than the local bike shop for same size, but the quality is great. It is a much lighter product which is good for young children. I would highly recommend.
The process to purchase was easy. It arrived to my front door in regional NSW in about a week.
Purchased this for my 4yo as a birthday present. It is as advertised - lightweight, great quality, 4yo was cycling on his own within the minutes, transitioning from a balance bike.
Also, aesthetically pleasing. Can't ask for a better first bike. Not to forget, great customer service from Adam.
Only issue is, 4yo won't stop asking to go for a bike ride everyday now.
If you have been humming and hawing, just do it. You won't regret it.
Have to say the customer service is exceptional! They always responded to query promptly and dealt with all issues in a friendly and welcoming manner.
Our 5 year old went from his balance bike to cycling away without any stabiliser under 5 minutes on the 16inch base bike. SO light weight, excellent quality. The little one feels In controls, brakes that fit his tiny hands so well.
We have moved from England and have been fans of Frog bikes and have been very impressed with base bikes now.
Well worth every penny. Thank you team and keep up your good work.
From very happy parents and Independent little cyclist :-)
Well thought out and light bike. My son (4.5 y.o.) loves riding his bright orange bike, he picked up pedal based riding within the first half-hour (after spending a year or more on balance bikes) and has only progressed rapidly from there. Rear freewheel is a game changer relative to rear-coaster brakes and has enabled rapid progression. We had no need for the optionally purchased balance wheels! Brakes work very well for little hands and after a few close calls with a bit too much applied braking power, he is now able to operate and modulate braking power as needed. Tires are grippy and able to take tight corners at speed. Time will tell on longevity of componentry but they all look well chosen, robust and fit for purpose. I have every confidence his younger brother will be learning to ride on the very same bike in just as short a period of time!
Our 3 year old absolutely loves her 16 inch bike. The quality is incredible, and she learnt to use the hand brakes on her first ride. Being able to back pedal is also a huge bonus so she can get started by herself everytime. The training wheels are very sturdy compared to her previous bike. Highly recommend, this bike is going to last us years.
