What is the difference between FirstBIKE® balance bikes for kids?

All FirstBIKE balance bikes are designed for kids between 2 and 5 years old. Except for the BASIC model, all FirstBIKEs are tuned with a rear drum brake (the best brake on the market), top-quality air tires, and weigh the same (FirstBIKE is one of the most lightweight balance bikes for kids on the market with a brake). So the only difference is their color and tire type!

THE ESSENTIAL LEARNING BIKE

FirstBIKE is the perfect training bike for developing your child’s sense of balance, motor skills,
