Hoy Weee! 12" Balance Bike, Red

Sir Chris Hoy's balance bike, and the one with a detail every parent appreciates about ten minutes into a trip to the park: a built-in carry handle. At 3.86kg it's light enough to carry one-handed when they've had enough of riding it. Finished in red.

Who it fits

Recommended for children aged 2 and up, with a minimum inside leg of 30cm and a minimum height of 85cm (2'9"). Measure floor to crotch with shoes off — far more reliable than age at this stage. Send us the measurements and we'll confirm they're ready.

What you're getting

• Weight: 3.86kg on a reinforced composite frame — tough enough for everyday play, light enough for a toddler to control
• Carry handle: built into the frame, for the walk back
• Low stand over height: both feet flat on the ground, which is what makes a nervous toddler willing to try
• Control: wide handlebars and grippy tyres for stability as they take their first strides
• Fit: child-friendly geometry, comfortable grips and a properly sized saddle, developed with input from Sir Chris Hoy

No pedals, no brakes — that's deliberate. Balance and coordination come first, and children who learn this way usually go straight to a pedal bike without stabilisers.

Also available: in blue.

Why we can price like this

We're an authorised HOY dealer — but we don't run a shop.

No showroom. No shop floor. No stock sitting in a warehouse depreciating. Your bike is picked and dispatched from the manufacturer's own facility and comes straight to your door.

A traditional bike shop has to cover premises, staff and stockholding before it makes a penny, and that has to come out of the price you pay. We don't carry those costs, so we're not asking you to cover them.

What you don't lose: full manufacturer warranty support, because we're an authorised dealer and not a grey importer. A real person to talk sizing through with before you order.
