As a 90s kid, I look back fondly on the days of learning to ride my bike. After graduating from a tricycle, I moved on to training wheels, and eventually, a two-wheeled bicycle. But these days, in lieu of tricycles and training wheels, balance bikes are all the rage. They’re said to help tots acclimate to balancing and steering, while providing necessary coordination to ride a two-wheeled bike. And right now, Amazon is marking down the Gamfeiny balance bike to 35% off for a limited time.
Perfect for children ages 10 to 36 months, this balance bike weighs just 4.6 pounds. The extra-wide spokes-free wheels provide additional safety. Meanwhile, 135-degree steering makes turning and balancing easier than ever. And since the bike’s frame is 100% sturdy carbon steel, you know it’ll last as long as they’re small enough to ride it.
Convenience is at the forefront of the bike’s design, because you don’t need any tools to put it together. Users say it’s easy to assemble, and the brand says you can build the bike within three minutes, which is a total win for busy parents. So, upon assembly, you know your little ones will be tearing up the streets in no time. With a light-up rear wheel, you’ll be able to see them at all times (and they’ll look cool AF, too).
The 4.8-star average rating and almost 5,000 reviews really speak for themselves, highlighting the bike’s easy assembly and functionality. “I bought this colorful balance bike for my 1-year-old, and it has been a huge hit from day one. The lighting feature instantly grabbed his attention—it’s bright, cute, and makes riding feel exciting for him. The bike itself is super sturdy but still lightweight enough for a toddler to push around easily,” one shopper writes.
“The no-pedal design is great because it helps him learn balance safely, and the four silent wheels glide smoothly across our hardwood floors without making any noise (a big win for parents!),” the review continues. “If you’re looking for a fun, colorful, and safe gift for a 1-year-old, this is honestly one of the best options.”
Although the bike comes in a wide range of colors, the pink option is currently available for the steepest discount. At 35% off, the price comes down from $50 to just $32, which is a serious steal.
