Convertible Bikes

For ages 3-6 years old

Best way for kids to learn to pedal

Instant success. That’s what we want kids to experience on the Strider 14x. This convertible Strider bike arrives in balance bike mode with the option to add a separate Easy-Ride Pedal Kit. As soon as your kiddo has gained confidence and coordination balancing on a bigger bike, they’re ready to add pedals. It’s the easiest transition to become a pedaling pro!

Best kids balance bike ever. My son is 5, had no Interest. We tried bike with training wheels and no luck. Purchased the 14x. Best purchase ever! We purchased it with the kit. Amazing that you can take the pedals off and put them back on in seconds. Amazing quality! If your kid is hesitant this is the route to go. I would buy it again in a heart beat!!!! The customer service to top it off is WONDERFUL.

I can’t imagine buying anything else! My daughter graduated to the 14x from the 12". She always loved the bike, and we loved the durability! She actually never mastered the balanced cruising (with no pedal), so I wasn't sure she would be able to make the transition to riding without training wheels. But we added the pedal kit when she was ready to try, & catching on was just a matter of a little practice! She rode it all over our city, leaving black tire skid marks everywhere she went! (Braking & Skidding across the sidewalk or gravel was always one of her favorite things) Our 2 year old son is very tall, and we just pulled this one out of storage to pull the pedal kit off for him to start using. Thanks Strider for making such a great bike!

She loves it! We bought the Strider 14x for our granddaughter for her 3rd birthday. She is tall, so we thought the 14 would serve her longer. She loves her bike. She's a bit cautious about sitting on the seat, but she straddles it and moves along just fine. We are thankful to be able to start her off on...the right...well, both feet!

Love at first Stride. What more is there to say? We got this bike for our three-year-old daughter a couple of weeks ago. The excitement was through the roof before we even opened it. After the quick assembly (that she even helped with) we were out the door. She immediately felt comfortable on the bike which effortlessly seems to take her wherever she pointed it. The handling, balance and traction the tires provide are so spot on. After taking her on a few rides, she was already asking to change out to pedal mode! I think a couple more rides and she may already be able to do it. This bike is a great tool in helping the development of pedal riding, and leaves our little girl grinning from ear to ear every step of the way!

Learn to Ride

Instant success. That’s what we want kids to experience on the Strider 14x. Our Strider scientists made the seat and handlebars fully adjustable (for those inevitable growth spurts) and kept a good ratio of the bike’s weight to the child’s weight to ensure children using the bike can effortlessly control it. Too often the transitions between learning steps are where kids fail, get scared, get hurt, and quit. Strider goes above and beyond to turn gaps into overlaps to guarantee success. Checkout our pedaling guide for step-by-step instructions for you to help your kiddo experience the joy of riding!

Awesome Questions

Why doesn’t the 14x have hand brakes?

Due to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), they say that this size of bike in the United States requires a coaster brake.
Are there wider pedals we can purchase?

We intentionally designed the pedals to be narrow. These dual propulsion “Stride-Around Pedals” make it easier for little ones to go back and forth between striding and pedaling.

Wider or larger pedals would limit the turning radius, possibly causing an accident, so, for safety reasons, we do not recommend a larger pedal.
Why can’t my younger child ride this?

We recommend that you purchase the bike that fits your rider right now.

The 14x Bike requires an inseam of 16” otherwise they won’t be able to put their feet on the ground and stride. If you purchase this bike when the child has a shorter inseam, they won’t be able to handle the bike.
