Strider put together all the right ingredients to give your tyke a taste of confidence to successfully shift from riding a balance bike to pedaling like a pro as quickly as possible. Why? Because of the success your child experiences when they ride a Strider is going to stay with them throughout their life.

Kids from all over the world are learning how to ride on the 14x Sport.  The confidence and freedom that comes with learning how to pedal a bike rockets them into a level of the awesomesphere they didn’t even know existed. Plus, parents get to see their child grow and develop right before their eyes. Pretty cool, right? The 14x starts off as a balance bike, which helps kiddos who either haven’t been on a bike before or are veteran Strider riders gain confidence and balancing ability on a bigger bike.  Once your little renegade is ready to pedal, just attach the Easy-Ride Pedal Conversion Kit (sold separately, but you’ll get free shipping when you order both at the same time) and VOILÁ!  You’ve got the most adjustable, most amazing pedal bike in the world.

It gets better.  If your mini-me is sprouting up faster than a weed amped up on fertilizer, the adjustable seat and handlebars mean the 14x Sport will continue to fit them. Converting the 14x from balance bike to pedal bike is super quick and easy (we even give you the wrench to screw in the only bolt) and the pedal kit has coaster brakes making skid marks easy peasy.  Now, your kid is pedaling around the neighborhood thinking you’re a superhero for getting them a 14x.  They’re realizing their skills and freedom with newfound confidence and thirst for adventure.  And now, your neighbors all have to step up their parenting game.

Yeah, we’d call that a parenting win.
