KRIDDO New Arrival:
Is Your Child Ready for Their First Pedal Bike?
Lily, 7th Aug
So your little rider is graduating from a balance bike—congrats! It’s a big deal. That moment when your child pedals for the first time? It’s kind of magical (and just a little nerve-wracking). But before you start scouting parks for their maiden voyage, you’ll need something important: the right first pedal bike. And not just any bike—a bike with training wheels that builds confidence, not fear.
That’s where KRIDDO’s newest launches come in. If you’re already familiar with the brand, you’ll know it’s all about helping kids ride smart, ride safe, and ride happy. Their latest models—the GoFar 14 and GoFar 16—are designed to meet your kid where they are, both literally and developmentally.

Wait—What Exactly Is a “First Pedal Bike”?
You’d think it’s self-explanatory, right? But when you’re shopping around, it helps to know what qualifies.
A first pedal bike is the next step after a balance bike—essentially, it's the training-wheeled transition zone before full-on cycling freedom. Unlike adult bikes, which are sized by frame, kids' bikes are typically measured by wheel size. Most starter bikes have 14" to 16" wheels, which usually fit kids with an inseam of 40–50 cm. That’s roughly kids aged 3 to 8.
But sizing is just one piece of the puzzle. Comfort, control, safety features, and—let’s be honest—style all matter, too.
Here's the Thing: You Can’t Size Up for Growth
Tempted to get a bigger bike they’ll “grow into”? We get it—it feels practical. But for little legs and developing coordination, a properly sized bike now makes all the difference. Too big, and it’s scary. Too heavy, and it’s frustrating. The goal is for your child to feel in control, not like the bike is taking them for a ride.
KRIDDO nails this balance, especially with the two models below.
GoFar 14 Bike With Training Wheels: For the Tiny but Mighty (Ages 3–6)
The GoFar 14 is an ideal starter for your 3- to 6-year-old. Why? Because it’s lightweight, supportive, and packed with features that actually matter when you’re learning how to ride:
It’s more than a bike—it’s their first taste of independence, and that deserves a machine built with heart.
GoFar 16 Bike With Training Wheels: For the Big-League Beginner (Ages 4–8)
Got a slightly older beginner? Maybe your 4- to 8-year-old skipped the balance bike stage entirely? No worries—the GoFar 16 is the perfect jump-start.
And just like the 14", it’s got room for personality: custom stickers, bright designs, and the all-important bell. These little details make kids want to ride—every day, if you let them.
So Which One’s Right for You?
Honestly, it depends on your child’s age, height, and readiness. But both the 14" and 16" bikes with training wheels from KRIDDO are excellent first pedal options. They’re not just cute (though let’s be real, they are); they’re thoughtfully engineered for real kids, real safety, and real progress.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Bike | Age Range | Wheel Size | Inseam | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GoFar 14 | 3–6 years | 14 inches | 40–50 cm | First-time riders |
| GoFar 16 | 4–8 years | 16 inches | 45–55 cm | Slightly older or taller beginners |
A Few Final Thoughts (Because You’re Probably Still Thinking)
Choosing your child’s first pedal bike can feel like a big step—because it is. But with KRIDDO’s thoughtful designs, safety features, and child-first approach, it becomes a joyful one.
If you’re still unsure, take some time to measure their inseam. Read reviews. Or even better—let your child help choose. That sticker sheet might be the deciding factor!
Whatever you pick, just remember: the goal isn’t perfection. It’s progress, play, and a whole lot of pedaling.
