Teaches the Fundamentals First
Balance bikes teach a child to balance, steer, and stop without adding in the complication of pedaling. When a child first learns to ride a bike using training wheels they learn to depend on them rather than learning the necessary fundamentals needed to ride a pedal bike.
Award Winning SureStop Brake System
As the first patented innovation in safer braking, even the youngest riders can stop with confidence.
Super Lightweight
When a young rider is learning to ride a bike the lighter the better. The Guardian Balance Bike is just 8.5lbs which makes it much easier for toddlers balance and control.
Builds Confidence at a Younger Age
Because balance bikes are lightweight and easier to control, toddlers, as young as 18 months are able to begin their bike riding journey much earlier than one on a bike with training wheels.
Simpler Transition to Pedal Bike
A child who has mastered balancing, steering, and stopping (the most difficult skills) on a balance bike will transition much faster and easier to a pedal bike than one who has been depending on training wheels for riding.
Assembled in the US
This is the first balance bike to be assembled in the U.S. and is the first stage of our U.S. production. Want to know more about Guardian’s move to bring bike production back to the United States? Learn more here.

If you used our RideSizer® tool to choose the best bike for your kid, you’re all set!
If you haven’t used it yet, we highly recommend clicking "Find Size" to visit our sizing tool. RideSizer® is not a bike chart. It’s an interactive tool we built specifically for our bikes to help you choose the perfect size for your kid based on their height and age. It shows you how the bike will fit, and it tells you how long it will fit.
ABOUT Guardian
As seen on Shark Tank and backed by Mark Cuban, Guardian Bikes was inspired to disrupt the bicycle industry after the founder’s grandfather was in a serious head-over-handlebar accident. Upon learning that over 200,000 children go to the emergency room every year from bike accidents, Guardian Bikes was inspired to change the industry by becoming a household name for bike safety. Consumers can lean on the disruptive consumer experience through the patented RideSizer experience, the patented SureStop brake technology, and through the quality, detail, and structure of this one-of-a-kind bicycle. Guardian Bikes is a mission-driven brand that is set on educating the world on what a safer bike SHOULD be.
