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.
