Bottom line

Many parents have successfully used balance bikes to prepare their children for pedal bikes, without ever having them use training wheels. The Burley MyKick is a well-constructed balance bike, with puncture-resistant tires and a steel frame. It has an adjustable seat post and handlebars, ensuring the bike fits the rider well. Durability comes with additional weight for this balance bike. It weighs more than most of its competitors, even though it does not have a handbrake or a foot platform.

Burley MyKick Review

Level 5 expert

A solid-quality, basic balance bike with punture-proof honeycomb tires. The Burley-MyKick doesn’t have a handbrake, but still excels in its simplicity.

Burley MyKick Review

Level 2 expert

The MyKick is a fairly simple balance bike with no handbrakes or foot platform, but maybe that is what drew us to it in the first place. It’s solid, but still fairly lightweight which is key to smaller riders.

Review: Burley MyKick Balance Bike

Level 1 expert

The dimensions work well for him to be sturdy even before he has started learning to glide. He can control himself on steep downhills well.
