Is a balance bike safe?

Balance bikes are generally very safe to use. Depending on the child's experience, they are excellent to drive ride and decent speeds can be achieved without becoming unsafe. Still, it is always a good idea to keep an eye on your child, because if their steering motor skills are not great yet, your child might just ride into something. This will get better and better with practice.

What makes a BERG balance bike a safe choice?

The BERG balance bikes offer extra safety in several areas. This is partly due to the steering limitation, which can be set according to the child's experience. The more experienced the child, the further he/she can steer. The material the balance bike is made of is also important. The BERG Biky balance bike has a magnesium frame while the BERG MOOV 10 has an aluminium frame, which are incredibly light and strong and also durable. This gives the child optimal control over the balance bike. This is in contrast to a steel frame, which is sometimes disproportionately heavy in relation to a child's body weight. Initially, children often still intuitively brake with their feet, which is fine at lower speeds. For extra safety, models are also available with a handbrake, so that even at higher speeds the balance bike comes to a quick stop. Furthermore, the soft-grip handles, height-adjustable leather saddle and integrated footrests are all components that further enhance safety. Finally, there is also the option to add a safety flag and helmet to your Biky or MOOV 10. A helmet may be desirable if your child is already reaching high speeds on the balance bike. This ensures optimum safety while playing.

Complete your balance bike with extra accessories

A variety of accessories are also available for the BERG balance bikes. If you go for extra safety, you can further equip the balance bike with a cool safety flag. Which is not only fun, but also makes sure you are better seen when out and about. A helmet is also available for extra safety. Especially if your child reaches high speeds on a balance bike, a helmet is not an unnecessary luxury, because an accident could be just around the corner. Do you also find it such a shame when your child puts the balance bike down or drops it because there is no stand on the balance bike? It is now possible to buy a kickstand with the BERG Biky or MOOV 10, so you can always put it neatly on the stand when you have finished playing!
