Bicycles with Training Wheels in Kids Bikes(52)

Are kids training wheels universal to any bike?

Kids training wheels do not work with every bike because of the height and size of the wheels on the bike. Bike training wheels are mounted on the rear axle of the bike. However, some brands make training wheels that are universal to their bike brand standards.

What age should a kid start using a bike with training wheels?

Most kids start around the age of four because they can learn the basics of pedaling, steering and braking. Once they get comfortable with learning the basics and can confidently maneuver on their own, the training wheels can come off to learn balance.

Do training wheels slow down bikes?

Training wheels slow down the speed of the bike because there is more weight that needs to be pushed when pedaling. This is suitable for children who are learning how to ride a bike because it doesn’t go too fast. However, training wheels make it a little harder to cut around corners and to turn due to not being able to lean to one side while riding.
