Your little one will be sure to make their friends envious as they scamper off on the brand new stylish Iguana Green AIRO. Weighing just 2.95kg, the award-winning AIRO makes learning to ride simple. Made from an ultra-tough magnesium alloy, the grip taped footrests are contoured into the lightweight frame for easy gliding. For a satisfyingly smooth ride, the proper air-filled tyres make for easy freewheeling around the local park, pump track or on the way to school!

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 tires 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 tires. 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

We are so confident in the quality of the AIRO frame and forks that we offer a lifetime warranty meaning all your children will be able to start their cycling journey on the same bike! See the lifetime warranty registration card included in the box for full details.

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 AIRO should be inflated to 20-30 PSI (1.5-2.0 BAR).

The 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.

    Fantastic 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.

    Ideal for child and parent!

    Great build quality and super light making it both great for child to ride and parent to carry! Foot rest are handy. Highly recommended - as good as much more expensive competitors.
