Sign InBought base 16 for our 4 year old son from Cyclezone in Mooloolaba, QLD. What a good quality bike. Genuinely light weight for its size. My son had a little nation balance bike. I intorduced the base 16 with no pedals on day 1 to get his balance/handling in track with the new bike dynamics. Slapped the pedals on day 2 and literally within 10mins, he started pedalling away. I grew up riding bikes with no coaster brakes and have been looking for one for my little one. No regrets in the purchase. Yes, it is priced higher than the coaster model ones you can buy from 99bikes, but you are definitely getting a bike that will last its time and can be passed down to siblings. Job well done by the team at Base.Bikes. Would definitely recommend for friends' kids.
Got this for my 4 year old as his first step up from a 12" toddler bike. Really impressed, nice and light, good components. Hand brakes without a coaster brake is a big step forward for bike handling skills.
We received our base 16 in May for our Son (3.5). He has come from a smaller balance bike and is now confidently pedalling and braking, the transition from the balance bike to this bike has been amazing. He was definitely on the side of only just being tall enough with the seat slammed but he is loving it.
Had a problem with pedals but Adam was quick to send out a replacement pair, service is great.
I am very happy with the overall build and quality of this bike, there are very limited options here in Australia and the fact that this is an Australian company delivering what we need is even better!
100% recommend for those looking for a good bike without a coaster, this is the bike kids NEED. Well done Adam and Co.
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.
