Instructor tips:

• It is ESSENTIAL that the child is confident scooting and balancing before they practice pedaling.
• Children who have learned to ride with training wheels typically spend the majority of their time learning to scoot and balance.
• Children who have learned to ride using balance bikes typically spend the majority of their time learning to pedal.
