Early Rider Big Foot 12" Kids Balance Bike 2-4 Years

A statement of intent! The Early Rider Big Foot is built for the rough stuff from day one. An off road balance bike with knobbly balloon tyres that will soak up the roots, the rocks and even those early jumps. Stable low slung geometry ensures a stable confidence inspiring ride and the starting standover height is just 31cm. Weight is a surprising low 3.75Kg.

Early Rider utilise quality parts throughout to ensure your child can focus on the trail ahead. Big pneumatic Vee Crown Gem 2.25" tyres provide sure footed grip and can soak up some serious bumps and jumps. Perfectly scaled geometry gets kids riding quickly and confidently and the beautiful brushed aluminium frame keeps the tubing and welds on display. Sealed cartridge bearing hubs ensure weather protection and reliable low friction rolling in all conditions. Reassuring Ritchey bar and stem and a familiar height adjustable seatpost. The Big Foot includes a Tektro rear brake, scaled for little kids, with short reach and light pull for those moments where they overshoot things or just throwing some rear skids.

We trust Early Rider balance bikes to get your children riding because they're what our children learnt to ride on. Every trip to the park or family walk soon becomes a new riding adventure. Push push... glide and skid to a stop. The fit for purpose design and quality components ensure children can make the most of every ride. Hone skills, gain confidence and most importantly, have fun.

Learning to ride without "learning" to ride. Early Rider are one of the pioneers of the balance bike movement, now widely accepted as the best way to teach children to ride a bike before they're ready for a pedal bike.

    About Early Rider: Founded in 2005 by Andy Loveland who built the first Early Rider wooden balance bike in his shed. Since then Early Rider have been dedicated to getting children out riding bikes and connecting with their surroundings. They believe riding bikes shouldn't be a milestone or simply a means to get from A to B but a vehicle for adventure, a reason to shun screen time and inactivity. The kids bike industry is full of marketing waffle, genderisation, baskets, tassels, cartoon characters. Early Rider reject this path simply building awesome bikes.... in kids sizes. Motivation is precious when it comes to children, in making bikes fit for purpose, age appropriate and fit for the environments children will be riding in Early Rider aim to inspire confidence at every stage. There's no better way to connect with the world around us than to get riding a bike.

    Early Rider Brand and Ethos

    Early Rider began in 2005 when founder Andy Loveland built a wooden balance bike in his shed, a simple idea sparked by a love of cycling and a desire to get kids outdoors. Since then, the brand has grown into one of the most respected names in children's bikes, known for building high-quality, beautifully designed bikes that children genuinely love to ride. At Babipur, we’re proud to be a long-standing Early Rider stockist, and as passionate cyclists ourselves, we truly understand what makes these bikes different. From toddler balance bikes to advanced pedal bikes with belt drives, every Early Rider model is made to be lightweight, smooth to ride, and sized just right for growing bodies. They’re not just scaled-down adult bikes, they’re engineered specifically for children, with attention to detail that really makes a difference. We chose them for our own children, and we’ve seen firsthand how Early Rider bikes inspire confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of cycling.

    Practical Bikes, Fit For Purpose

    Practical Bikes, Fit For Purpose

    At Babipur, we don’t go for gimmicks. We go for quality. That’s why we choose Early Rider. Early Rider bikes are built to perform, using premium components that outlast the usual plastic-and-steel kids’ bikes. Lightweight frames, sealed bearings, and proper child-specific geometry all mean one thing, these bikes ride better. Children can go further, with more comfort and control, and they’ll want to keep riding. In a market full of gendered colours, cartoon branding, baskets and tassels, Early Rider take a different path. They just build brilliant bikes, in children’s sizes, with no fluff, no nonsense, and no compromise. Take the Belter, a lightweight pedal bike with a rust-free belt drive and sealed bearings. It rides like a dream and, when cared for, can be passed from child to child. Tyres, tubes, and parts are easy to replace, so you get longevity and great resale value too. Motivation is precious. When bikes are fit for purpose and a pleasure to ride, kids naturally want to ride them. And that’s what Early Rider delivers.
