Specialized Hotwalk (Acid Pink/Nice Blue)

If we were to stop and think about it, learning to ride back in the day bordered on a traumatic event. The crashes, oh the crashes. These days, however, kids have it easy with awesome little bikes like the Hotwalk.

With no pedals or gears, it’s designed to help your little one find balance by making it as easy as possible to put their feet down. In fact, scooting around with their feet is very similar to the cycling movement (outside of gravity). Your kid will get used to the feeling of riding, without much of the risk.

Even better for you, there isn’t much that can break on this bike, so there’s less maintenance than with a “traditional” bike. That’s right, you get parental hero status, and they have the time of their lives while they’re learning to ride. Designed for fewer crashes and more smiles, the Hotwalk makes learning to ride easy. Win-win.
