Big Foot 12

My 2 year old son started out on another brand of balance bike that had foam tires, and he quickly burned through the tread in the matter of a couple months. We have a mountain bike trail behind our house, and he was slipping and sliding all over the place. Started doing some research and landed on the Big Foot 12. I wish I had known to buy this before I spent the money on the first bike. This bike is SOLID and the pneumatic tires are a game changer. After months of riding, there is no sign of wear on these tires, and we ride just about every day.

Now comes the real reason I came back here to leave this review. I leaned the bike up against the front of my wife's car and forgot about it. She started to drive off, and ran over the bike. The handlebars were bent and destroyed making them completely unusable. On our way home, we contacted Early Rider through their website (on a Sunday afternoon) and asked if we can order replacement parts. They responded to me that very same day and began the process. I paid a very reasonable price for the parts and shipping, and we had the parts in hand on WEDNESDAY. I swapped the handlebars and installed the new grips, and my boy was back in action that afternoon. I can't thank this company enough for their prompt response and parts availability. Don't shop at big box stores. Buy from reputable companies who you can reach out to when in need.

Amazing bike! My daughter loves it. It looks like a lot of detail went into making a good solid balance bike that's going to be nice to ride.

The only problem with the bike my daughter got is that the person who assembled it at early rider wasn't very careful and precise enough. Out of the box bike came with a deep paint scratch on fork and the wheels are very wobbly especially the back one.

But I guess wheels can be easily balanced and the bike will get beat up during the riding anyway so this are only minor problems. This is the reason I give it 4 stars, everything else is 5 stars!
