A Lightweight First Bike for Building Balance and Confidence.
The Apex Peak 12-Inch Balance Bike gives young riders a simple way to develop balance, steering and coordination before moving to a pedal bike.
Its low-step aluminium frame makes getting on and off easier, while the adjustable saddle allows the fit to be changed as the child grows. Without pedals or a drivetrain to manage, children can concentrate on controlling the bike using their feet.
Low-Step Aluminium Frame
The lightweight aluminium frame is easier for small riders to handle and helps parents when the bike needs to be carried. Its low-step shape provides useful clearance when children are getting on, stopping or regaining their balance.
Adjustable Fit
The saddle height can be adjusted as the rider grows. A balance bike fits correctly when the child can sit on the saddle with both feet planted securely on the ground and their knees slightly bent.
Check the minimum saddle height against the child’s inside-leg measurement before ordering. Avoid setting the saddle too high, as the rider needs to reach the ground comfortably to stop and control the bike.
Made for Learning
The pedal-free design lets children move at their own pace. They can begin by walking while seated, progress to longer strides and eventually lift their feet to glide once their confidence improves.
The 12-inch wheels keep the bike manageable for younger riders learning on driveways, sealed paths and other suitable riding areas.

Our Thoughts
The Peak is a straightforward first bike for children learning the basics. The low-step frame helps with confidence, while the adjustable saddle gives parents room to maintain a suitable fit as the rider grows.
