The Early Rider  is a “balance bike,” which is a pedal-less bike that helps teach kids to balance and self-correct at their own speed. Now available in the US for the holidays, the Early Rider has been the #1 selling balance bike in Europe.  Unlike most other balance bikes on the market, the Early Rider features “Fat Boy” rear tires for extra stability and comfort and it comes in three sizes, for smaller and larger preschoolers and kindergartners.
