Easy to ride, bags of fun, this award-winning running bike for toddlers and pre-schoolers aged 1 to 5 utterly reorganises when and how a kid learns to ride. 

Starting with three wheels, it teaches babies to walk and then coast with its lightweight, super-stable design. At age 2 or 3, it converts to a two-wheel, pedal-less bike and toddlers learn to balance with ease. For ages 4 and 5, the ‘Wishbone’ frame is flipped, making Wishbone Bike one of the largest balance bikes on the market.

Now available the Apple Limited Edition Wishbone Bike. The idea for the Apple-a-day bike comes from the old adage "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". The Wishbone Bike is the ideal toy to encourage kids to be active. All that was needed was a design for the bike that would tell the apple-a-day message. Together, Wishbone bike and the new artwork would communicate twin messages essential to growing great kids! AND the NEW 2013 Alphabet Limited Edition. This years design was created by Auckland-based design team Ryan  Henderson and Alicia Christie. Aplying a modern twist on primary colours, a generous window to the wooden canvas, and a simply typography, Ryan and Alicia's Alphabet Bike packages the roman alphabet in absolute style. But more than just a great design, the Alphabet Bike is also a flagship for Wishbone's Read with Me project.

"This bike is the best of the best. We got wishbone bike because my husband was a professional cyclist and he's already dreaming of our daughter at the Olympics. He wanted to give her a bike for her first birthday so we got wishbone bike from overseas (can get them here now I see)." - Read the full review here.

Riding a Balance Bike

The bike is powered by the rider’s feet pushing off the floor - half running, half sitting, speeding along! Children enjoy an enormous amount of fun whilst growing in confidence and improving their coordination.

While using a balance bike, children learn quickly about balance and bike riding in general. When they are eventually ready for a pedal bike, their balance bike experience will really help them to make an easy transition - frequently without stabilisers!  

Wishbone Design

Most children come to love their bikes with a fierce attachment, so they don't want to say goodbye as they out-grow it. The beauty of the Wishbone Bike is that it will grow with your child - right up to age of 4 or 5 - so they keep their beloved bike far longer.

Unlike any other balance bike, the Wishbone bike evolves with the different stages of a child’s development. Use starts from the age of 1 as a trike. As the child grows it converts to a low-seated two-wheeled balance bike. Finally, by four or five years old, the ‘wishbone’ frame flips, making the Wishbone Bike one of the largest balance bikes on the market.

Also available, silicone seat covers for your Wishbone Bike. Available in 2 colours - click here for more details.

We recommend you keep all tyres inflated to 20 psi, not more. Tube valves (schrader) are car size – you can inflate them with a standard foot pump.

You should clean your bike with warm water and a soft cloth. Use a wood wax or polish to maintain the finish of the wooden components.

If the wheels are not moving smoothly, lubricate them lightly with standard bike oil.

To maintain your bikes appearance and avoid excessive weathering, we recommend storing Wishbone Bike indoors.

Always regularly inspect your Wishbone Bike to be sure it is in good working order. In particular, check all fastenings to make sure that they are tight. Normal wear and tear may make them loosen from time to time.
