Not all balance bikes are created equal
Weighing just 2.95kg starting your little one out on their cycling journey is easier for them than ever before! Thanks to the AIRO’s incredibly lightweight, ultra-hard-wearing magnesium alloy frame they can effortlessly propel themselves along.
Lighter on the wallet than any comparable balance bike, the AIRO is superior on every meaningful measure.
The AIRO features footrests which have been stylishly contoured into the frame and the air-filled rubber tyres on aluminium rims make for a smooth free-wheeling experience. The neoprene padded stem provides additional safety, while the fully adjustable seat makes it perfect for ages 18 months to 5 years (with a recommended inside leg of 11.8" to 18.1" / 30-46cm).
In addition, sealed bearings mean that the wheels are better protected against road debris and the elements. Zero-maintenance and available with a lifetime warranty, the AIRO will be the first step into the world of cycling for your budding mini champ!
Lighter than all 23 comparable competitors. We searched long and hard for a lighter balance bike and the only ones we found one were made with plastic wheels and uncomfortable foam tyres. Not all balance bikes are created equal.
Note: AIRO 12" has no brake. If this is important to you, please see AIRO 14".
6 FUNKY COLOURS
Choose between Flamingo Pink, Magma Red, Orca White, Hammer Yellow, Tuvalu Turquoise, or Iguana Green and then marvel at the magic of your little one going from tentative first steps to gnarly rider on their first bike.
LIFETIME WARRANTY

It’s incredibly light, very well made and looks great. Its thick, pneumatic tyres make it a nice, smooth, bump-absorbing ride.
A serious contender for Best Buy, the AIRO, from British brand Hornit, is streets ahead of any other balance bike this lightweight.

Frequently Asked Questions
The correct seat height should have the child sitting on the Airo’s seat, with feet flat on the ground, with a slight bend in the knees. For long-distance striding on smooth surfaces, you can raise this slightly. For obstacles, tricks, and off-road riding, the saddle should be adjusted for slightly more bend in the knees.
Quality is important to us, that’s why we use proper rubber tyres for a super smooth riding experience (rather than cheap solid foam tyres which make for an uncomfortable ride).
Maintaining the correct tyre pressure will help to extend the life of your tyres, improve safety and ensure a smooth ride. Both the front and back tyres on the Hornit Airo should be inflated to 20-30 PSI (1.5-2.0 BAR).
The Hornit AIRO has been toy safety tested for a child of 18 months+ and so the valve caps had to be removed in accordance with the EN71 toy regulations as they present a choking hazard.

Cool design. Lightweight. Easy to master!
- BHBethan H.Verified BuyerReviewingAIRO 12" - Tuvalu TurquoiseI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoBrilliant fun and super lightweight balance bike
My daughter is absolutely loving her Hornit balance bike. It looks beautiful and is so easy for her to ride. Within two weeks she’s gone from not using her previous balance bike at all, to going on skate parks and cycling absolutely everywhere. It’s been brilliant for family walks as she’s now able to keep up and never wants to be carried as she’s always cycling alongside us . The bike is super lightweight and very easy to carry so the very rare times when she doesn’t want to be riding it, it’s very easy for us to carry it or put on our baby’s pram. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. We get comments everywhere we go. especially about the colour. I love that it’s a really unisex colour.
- EErinVerified BuyerReviewingAIRO 12" - Orca WhiteI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoFantastic product, well designed
So glad we forked out a little extra for a light weight balance bike. This bike has it all and our 2 year old is obsessed. Very easy for him to get used to it and very easy for us to carry home when he's had enough. Sadly the little horn we bought with it stopped working after about a week, but still no complaints because the bike is a total winner.
