FAQs
Everything parents ask us
Why is this better than regular training wheels?
Traditional training wheels only help kids gain the strength and coordination of pedaling the bike. They do not train kids to balance. These allow kids to practice balancing by adjusting the stability.
Once the kids are comfortable with Zen Training Wheels at the lowest stability they are ready to ride a pedal bike.
Where do you ship?
The Zen Training Wheels will be shipped worldwide (areas where USPS ships).
How do I select the size?
This fits most kids bikes 12 to 20 inches. If it does not fit your bike please let us know
I already have a bike will Zen Training Wheels fit?
Yes! Zen Training Wheels fit most kids bikes, you can attach them to your bike if they have the axel bolt and nut for training wheels.
What age is best to start using Zen Training Wheels?
Most children can learn at 3 years old. Some children can learn as early as 2 years old. Every child is different.
Why is this better than a balance bike?
Balance bikes are great however they don't teach you how to balance and pedal at the same time. Zen Training Wheels allows for you to safely learn how to do both.
This is the quickest way to teach a kid to learn to ride. This is the easiest transition to riding a bike with pedals from a balance bike or training wheels. It allows you to practice both balancing and pedaling at the same time.
While some kids transition smoothly from balance bikes to pedal bikes, not all kids are as coordinated as others.
You only need one bike instead of a dedicated balance bike and a regular bike.
