Grows With Your Child

LittleBig is designed to grow with your child. It starts as a little balance bike, then the unique frame flips to create a bigger balance bike with more space for growing riders.

Combined with the adjustable saddle and handlebars, this gives LittleBig a wide fit range designed to last from approximately age 2 to 6.

Converts From Balance to Pedals

LittleBig is supplied as a balance bike as standard. When your child is ready to pedal, add the optional pedal kit to convert it into their first pedal bike.

Your child can learn to balance first, then transition to pedalling on the same familiar bike, helping them learn to ride independently without stabilisers.

Lightweight & Easy to Control

At just 4.3 kg in balance mode, LittleBig is lightweight and easy for young riders to control. Its lightweight alloy frame and components help children steer, stop and pick up the bike more easily as they build confidence and coordination.

Designed for Ages 2 to 6

LittleBig is designed for children from approximately age 2 to 6, depending on their height and inside leg measurement. Fit matters more than age, so we recommend measuring your child and checking the sizing guide.

With a minimum saddle height of just 30 cm in little balance mode, younger riders can start with both feet comfortably on the ground, with plenty of adjustment as they grow.

Why We Built the LittleBig

LittleBig Bikes was founded by Simon Evans - a parent, engineer, round-the-world cyclist and mountain biker - with one clear goal: to help kids learn to ride with confidence

After seeing how quickly traditional kids bikes are outgrown and discarded, Simon set out to create a bike that adapts as children develop their skills. The LittleBig starts as a balance bike and later converts to a pedal bike on the same familiar frame, supporting years of confident riding.

Thoughtfully engineered and built to last, LittleBig reduces waste while offering long-term value for families who want a more sustainable approach to learning on two wheels.
