Inspire a love to ride through natural beauty.

The Lite is about building confidence and takes full advantage of wood's familiar warmth and tactile qualities to draw even the most timid to the bike - the first step in getting your child to want to ride.

Lightweight with an innovative two steering system that takes away the risk of speed wobbles for novice riders, the Lite excels when it comes to being manageable and easy to control for the earliest of riders. Add how our SuperPly™ construction embraces wood's natural forgiveness to absorb vibrations and smooth those little twitches and you have the most comfortable, confidence inspiring ride. 

But don't be mistaken, the Lite is also one of the most nimble and durable bikes too. Set the steering to open and your experienced rider can take advantage of the responsive geometry and aluminum hubs on low friction sealed bearings, to go long and fast learning sophisticated riding skills - all in the knowledge that the our Superply construction is to BS marine ply standards and so will keep pace wherever your little one ventures.

Early Rider uses premium parts to make balance bikes that perform to the highest standards and last a lifetime.

  • Simply Superply™.  Nothing but hand-picked grade A veneers bonded with the finest marine ply "WBP" glue (water & boil proof) for maximum weather resistance 
  • Two step steering system:  A restricted setting to give confidence to novice riders and a free setting to enable experienced riders to develop more sophisticated riding skills 
  • Beautiful heat branded detail, embroidered faux leather seat and hardened bronze hardware 
  • Super lightweight aluminum wheelset, boasting aluminum hubs, hollow aluminum axles and sealed cartridge bearings

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Our "Ride Happy" Guarantee: We want you to love your purchase, but if you are not completely satisfied, we offer hassle-free returns on all orders.

You have 30 days from receiving your order to initiate your return with us:

  • Returns must be in NEW condition with original packaging and product tags.
  • You are responsible for packaging and return shipping. You may purchase a return shipping label from us, which is likely your least expensive option with our discounted rates.
  • Regarding bikes, please take it for a "test ride" to make sure it's right for your Rider! Our standard for still being in new condition after a "test ride" is similar to a local bike shop offering test rides outside its shop. We understand some "dust on the tires," but please keep it new (and hold on to packaging) until you are sure you're keeping it!
  • Your original shipping cost is non-refundable.

If you'd like to return your order, please start here.

WARRANTY

Ready Set Pedal stands behind all products we sell. Most of our brands (including all bikes) offer a limited warranty. We will work directly with the manufacturer (on your behalf) to evaluate and process your warranty claim. If the issue/defect is deemed eligible to be covered under warranty, we work to get you a replacement, repair or refund as quickly as possible. If you're experiencing an issue/defect with an order, please contact us for support.
