Opus BEE BIKE
$176 CAD, not available in the USA
This aluminum framed 12 inch wheeled balance bike sports a rear v-brake and inflatable knobby tires
Pros:
The v-brakes are a nice addition, as most run bikes do not include this feature. For kids 3 and up, this run bike looks like a regular kids bike but without the pedals.
Cons:
The knobby tires would be great if we road our bikes on different terrain, but since we mostly just ride on the sidewalk, it made riding the bike a little less zippy than other run bikes on the market.
Ideal Rider
Ideal for a child around 3 to 5 who has never had a smaller run bike before. This run bike is perfect for new riders wanting to gain confidence before getting a set of pedals!
Overall
For kids who are learning to ride a bike for the first time but aren't toddlers, this run bike is a well-suited transition bike to help your child learn to have confidence balancing before pedalling.
