Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

We've put together all the necessary ingredients to give your little racer a taste of confidence so they can successfully transition from riding a balance bike to pedaling like a pro as quickly as possible on the Strider 14x Sport. Why? Because the accomplishments your child achieves while riding a Strider begin to instill confidence in them that will last a lifetime.

Pedals are not included with the Awesome Blue 14x Sport; however, once your little rider is ready, you can purchase the Strider Easy-Ride Conversion Kit to add functional pedals, bringing this bike to the next level.

Grows with Your Child - If your mini-me is sprouting like a weed on steroids, the 14X is the bike for them. The adjustable seat and handlebars fit children from 3 to 7 years old, with inseams ranging from 16 to 23 inches, ensuring that your child always has a bike that fits.

The lightweight frame with footrest is designed specifically for children, weighing only 12 pounds. It weighs only 5 pounds (pre-pedals), making it simple to handle for your child. The footrests are ideal for learning to balance and glide until they're ready for pedals, which can be easily attached at any time.

Bike Kit Made To Last - Children are notorious for being rough on their belongings. The 14x has a long-lasting steel frame. The all-terrain rubber tires on this riding toy can be inflated with standard bike pumps, making maintenance a breeze.

Questions & Answers

Is there any rubber on the wheels?

Yes, but it also necessitates the use of an inner tube. Strider must be contacted for replacement inner tubes.

Is there a coaster brake on this bike?

It has coaster brakes, to be sure.

I'm in need of a brake accessory. Which one is it, exactly?

There is no need for a break accessory with the Strider 14x. Backwards pedaling equals braking.

Selected User Reviews For Strider - 14x Sport Balance Bike, Ages 3 to 7 Years - Pedal Conversion Kit Sold Separately

With a three-year-old, you'll have instant success

5/5

Wow, this bike is incredible. My daughter only began riding the Strider 12 Sport a month ago, but she quickly mastered it and was begging for pedals. I was hesitant because I believed she would benefit from more practice, so I reasoned that this would be a wise investment. She could get used to the frame and size of the 14x as a balance bike if the pedals didn't work out; however, she had this bike figured out in less than 10 minutes and was cruising around the neighborhood with the pedals. It's a good one. For children who have previously used balance bikes, the design is simple and intuitive. It is impossible to overestimate the value of this book. At the age of three years and two months, she is riding.

It's simple to put together, but why isn't it included with the bike? The pedals are simple to install on my daughter's Strider Bike, but it's a bummer that if you buy a Strider Bike in a color other than blue or green, you have to buy the pedals separately from the bike, whereas the blue and green versions include the pedal kit

4/5

And buying the bike and the pedal kit separately costs more than buying the blue or green bike with the pedals.

Penalized for selecting the pink bike, which, as many have pointed out, costs ten dollars more because it must be purchased separately

3/5

Not having a bundle kit for the fuchsia seems a little sexist, doesn't it? (For the record, our daughter looked at all three bike colors and chose pink herself, which was amusing because she almost always goes for blue. ) ) The pedals are also quite small. I'm not sure why the kid's feet keep slipping to the side; I'm not sure why they can't be wider.

Strider balance bikes are highly recommended! This was purchased for my five-year-old daughter, who was having difficulty riding her bike without training wheels

5/5

She mastered the balancing part in one day after we took her to the BMX park. We put the pedals on after only a few weeks and she's already riding like a pro. It's simple to remove the pedals so she can compete with the other balance bikes on her strider. I wish it was available in pink because I had to spray paint hers pink.

It's a great bike, but it's missing brakes

4/5

Please accept my apologies for this review's length. br>br>Awesome bike, but it still blows my mind that you don't have any brakes without the pedal kit. Because we live in a hilly area, my son isn't strong enough to use pedals, but he enjoys cruising and is a natural balancer. As a result, I took action to correct the situation. I began with just a back brake, but due to a lack of grip strength, that was insufficient for a four-year-old. We're ready to go now that we've got front and back brakes. He'll be able to come to a complete stop in a safe and timely manner. br>br>Parts are required. Brake tubing and cables made by Shimano. Brake levers made by Tektro. Front brake is a Tektro 900A (front). The rear brake is Tektro 559 (rear). One stick of 1/8" thick steel and good sharp drill bits to drill through it from your local home center. br>br>It's a piece of cake to use the front brake. There is no need for any modifications. To reach the rear brake easily, the steel must be extended a little and tucked up beneath the footrests.

The transition is flawless! My son began riding the original strider balance bike when he was two years old and recently asked (now four years old) if he could ride a pedal bike like his older brother

5/5

I didn't think he was ready for a pedal bike, but I did some research to find out what we could do. I came across this recently released Strider 14x and decided to stick with Strider because they have proven to be knowledgeable and reliable. It ended up being the ideal transition. We went right to pedals, and after only two tries, he was completely independent. The beginning and the end He is completely self-contained. That particular moment is captured in this video. It performs admirably for us. The only drawback I can think of is that the bike is quite heavy, especially when compared to the previous one, which was only 6 pounds. 7lbs. My son appears to have no issues with the weight while riding it, so it isn't an issue for us. However, for smaller riders or if they fall, it could be a problem. We adore it in any case! Thank you, Stider.

Although the bike is excellent, the child does not enjoy it

4/5

It's an excellent balance bike that is simple to assemble. Very attractive. Shipping was extremely quick. I spent a lot of time thinking about what to get my four-year-old and came up with three options: 2-Go Glider! In addition, there's the 1 (too many negative reviews) and the Ridgeback (too expensive for just a balance bike and likely too big). For her 2nd birthday, she was given her first balance bike. It was a Puky from Germany, measuring 10 inches tall. She was terrified, and she avoided looking at it for nearly two years. She picked it up and ran with it about 6 weeks ago, in February 2018. She had a great time racing down the driveway, and we breezed through our one-mile loop around the neighborhood. It was, however, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy br>br>Despite the fact that she is only four years old, she is a size six with a 19-inch inseam. She claims to adore it, but she despises riding it. We've been encouraging her to practice for two weeks, but after one or two trips down the driveway, she's done. I'm not sure what it is, but she looks uncomfortable on it. She was very excited to take it on our 1-mile loop the first day, but only made it a quarter mile. We have a lot of height adjustment options, but the handlebar appears to be too far away to reach for me. I understand that it will take some time to get used to, and I don't want to push her too far, but this wasn't cheap, so I'm disappointed. So, rather than the bike, I'm giving my kid four instead of five stars, but it's not a good fit for every child. If anything changes, I'll let you know.
