I bought this bike for my grandson who is turning 5 soon. He has been zipping about on a WOOM 14 inch bike - it has been wonderful but he has already outgrown it and is ready for more adventure. The shipping cost of WOOM has become ridiculous so I looked for something similar. I chose Base because the bikes are lightweight (relatively speaking), are designed around kids including a low stand over height, components that are kid sized and have dual handbrakes. Being Australian and with a low delivery cost is a big bonus. The bike arrived quickly, well assembled and adjusted. I’m looking forward seeing my grandson take off on it!
I ordered this for Christmas and the courier company initially lost the order, but Base Bikes scoured the country to find us a replacement in time for Christmas. Bike is a great combination of light weight, good geometry and nice components. It had our 4 year old riding confidently in just a few days even without previous balance bike experience. Brilliant product and great service. Absolutely worth it.
Bought for my 3 1/2 year old granddaughter who was on a 12" balance bike. Riding unsupported within an hour on this new bike. Although expensive I'm happy with the bike, as is she
An amazingly designed bike. Our 4 year old daughter got her "pinky malinky" bike on a Saturday morning. To that point, she had been on a balance bike which she had outgrown. We took her to our local park. First ride was about getting used to it, and she used it like her old balance bike. We went back to the park the same afternoon, and she was riding on her own within 5mins! Made our weekend. The geometry is perfect. Low bottom bracket, short pedals, long wheel base and wide bars make it the right bike for little ones to find their balance without resorting to training wheels. We also love the fact it doesn't have a pedal brake. We have been recommending this bike to all and sundry. Well done guys!
This bike is exactly what I was looking for (lightweight, removable pedals and no coaster brake) when I purchased my daughters first bike in early 2025. I considered importing a Woom but ended up settling for another bike (12in) until now when she needed a 16in. We recieved this yesterday and shes gone for two rides and absolutely loves it - especially how fast she can go. On her old bike she wasnt a fan of the coaster brake so always used the front hand brake which made me very nervous she'd flip. So she really loves the two hand brakes.
She is very petite for her age (5) at around 96cm and based on the calc on the website she was a tad small for 16in but shes been totally fine. Note she knew how to ride a bike so is fine on balls of feet/tip toes.
I would definately recommend this bike, I think itd be an excellent bike to learn on! Wish she'd been tall enough and the bike was around when she first started as i think she would have picked up riding even quicker.
