The Best of Both
LittleBig Easily Switches from Balance to Pedal Bike

Big Love
LittleBig Helps Your Child Learn To Cycle With Confidence
Praise from
the Pros
Lightweight
Alloy Frame
The lighter the bike, the more easily it can be pushed along, steered and lifted which will help your child cycle with confidence.
The LittleBig frame is made from 6061-T6 aluminium which is commonly used in road and mountain bikes due to its light weight and durability. In short, the frame is carefully designed to give your child the best start on two wheels.
Fast Rolling
14 Inch Balance Bike
The LittleBigs 14 inch balance bike wheels gives a stable ride and glides over a range of terrain with ease. Forest trails, school rides, BMX track, pump track, these tyres can handle it all.
The air-filled rubber tires are comfortable and grippy while still being durable and long lasting. The lightweight alloy rims roll on sealed cartridge bearings which are quiet and will run smoothly for years.
A Real Bike
Not A Toy
LittleBig is hand-assembled in Ireland with proper parts, including a lightweight pivotal saddle, alloy riser handlebar and forged alloy BMX-style stem. These are all adjustable to ensure the bike is the perfect fit for your child, allowing them to push their limits and explore new adventures.
V-brakes front and rear ensure your little one can stop quickly and safely. Short-reach alloy brake levers work with little hands.
Both A Balance Bike
And A Pedal Bike
The LittleBig convertible balance bike easily transforms into a pedal bike. When your little one is ready to begin pedalling, just add the pedal kit and off they go!
Having learned to balance first, your child’s transition to pedalling will be easy, and usually only takes a few short goes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sets our design apart is that the unique frame gets bigger as your child grows. And when they are ready to start pedalling, LittleBig can be transformed into a proper pedal bike. More information can be found on our sizing guide.
Even though it starts as a 14 inch balance bike, the LittleBig has a similar saddle height to many 12 inch balance bikes. These unique features allow it to be used for up to 4 years and take the place of at least two bikes. For more information check out our in-depth balance bike guide.
We hand assemble each bike here in Ireland using qualty parts such as kids specific short reach brake levers that ensure your child can stop quickly and safely before progressing to pedals. Proper air tyres roll on smooth cartridge bearing hubs leading to an effortless ride. In short, we've considered every aspect of the LittleBig bike so your little one can learn to ride with confidence.
A convertible balance bike means that your child can progress from learning to balance to learning to pedal, all on the one bike. This gives them confidence when starting to pedal, having already mastered their balance on the balance bike mode.
For parents, it means that your child can have a simple and safe transition to pedalling. And it saves having to buy separate balance bikes and pedals bikes, which is better value and more sustainable.
We sell the balance bike and pedals separately so customers can choose to purchase the balance bike by itself if preferred.
Purchasing the pedal kit with the bike means you will have them ready for when your little one wants to begin pedalling and you save yourself the cost of posting the pedals separately at a later date.
We would not recommend using stabilisers (known as training wheels in the USA) while your child is learning to pedal. Starting on a LittleBig balance bike, your child will naturally learn the core cycling skills of balancing, steering and braking. So when you add the pedals to their bike, the transition to pedalling will be easy! You can read more information on our posts balance bikes vs stabilisers (training wheels), which is best? or Ten Reasons Not TO use stabilisers on your kids’s bike.
The LittleBig is great for kids age 2 to 6. For more information read our sizing guide.
With the growing frame and the option to add pedals, LittleBig lasts longer than any other balance bike.

Excellent bike so far. Had delays for stock over Xmas period however Simon stayed in regular contact to ensure it was delivered on time.
Andy (verified owner) –
Purchased in October and arrived just in time for Christmas for our Grandson. Phew!
What can I say. I disagree with the brake issue commented upon in a previous review. The YouTube instruction videos help and the assembly was very easy as a result.
It looks great and the comments from his M&D were so positive – they loved the ability to adjust the bike in the future. We got the pedals etc too.
I have been in touch with LittleBig Bikes re the packaging which ripped but this I believe was down to the carrier not LittleBIg Bikes.
All in all a great product – I expect to buy another for our granddaughter!
Andrew Sprules (verified owner) –
LittleBigBike really understands customer service and it couldn’t be better. My emails were answered immediately and with clarity. I was regularly updated from point of purchase through to delivery. The issue of paying the vat is clearly explained on the company website and that part of the process was seamless. The bike was for my grandson and I was very impressed by how well built and robust it is. He is simply thrilled with it.
Krisy (verified owner) –
We bought the little big bike for our son’s 3rd birthday and he absolutely loves it. The assembly was really straight forward and the quality of the bike is fantastic. We have been out several times since we got it and it’s so great to see his confidence grow as he flies along on the balance bike. I also want to say a massive thank you to Simon and the team who despite some delays, that were out of their control, prioritised getting the bike to us in time for our boy’s birthday. Couldn’t recommend this company more.
Elizabeth Meth (verified owner) –
My older son received a balance bike from Little Big Bikes as a gift a couple years ago and he mastered riding his bike! So I decided to get one for my 3 yr old daughter for Xmas. Simon was quick to respond to my emails and made an effort to get the bike shipped out to the States so it could arrive before Xmas. It’s one of the only balance bikes that we found that could convert from a balance bike to a traditional bike with pedals. Couldn’t recommend more!
James Fudge (verified owner) –
Fabulous bike, great value for a quality product and excellent customer service, kept me updated with all progress of shipment and delivery. Daughter (Aged 2) is over the moon with her green LittleBig Bike! Will be recommending these to all my friends with little ones, we love the fact that it converts into a pedal bike when she’s a bit bigger.
Katherine M. (verified owner) –
I am so grateful to LittleBig Bikes. My son is 4, big for his age, and has challenges with motor planning that make pedaling a bike difficult. He outgrew his original balance bike and had his heart set on another red one. LittleBig Bike proactively communicated about our order status and their strategy for handling a Belgian strike that affected their supply chain, and they ensured that we had the bike by Christmas. My son finds it easy and fun to ride, and we have the pedal kit for when he’s ready.
Simon Evans –
Delighted to hear the bike is working so well for your son Katherine!
Kare (verified owner) –
Simon kept us updated on the shipping status and did everything to get the bike to us for Christmas Day. It arrived several days earlier than expected and assemble was a breeze. My husband is a “bike nerd” and he was super impressed by the quality and engineering. Our kiddo didn’t want to get off of it. Spring can’t come soon enough!
Simon Evans –
Thanks for the great review Kathryn, ask your husband if we can put BIKE NERD APPROVED on our website :)
William Neill (verified owner) –
Sturdy and high quality! The bike made over in time for Christmas too, as promised!
Alison (verified owner) –
Excellent bike and great customer service/shipping to US. I bought one of these for my 3-year old grandson at Christmas. It was the perfect step up from his Balance bike. He was able to ride it immediately and he had no issue adapting to the hand brakes. He’ll be able to use it for several years, first without pedals and then with. The communication from LBB was great. I ordered in very early December and actually didn’t expect the bike to make it to Portland, Oregon by Christmas. Despite a couple of delays in the supply chain, which I was informed about immediately, the bike arrived before Christmas (and only a couple of days after being shipped from Ireland). I would highly recommend the bike and Little Big Bike!
