AD – We were gifted the balance bike included in the post for the purpose of this blog post – Micro Lightweight Balance Bike Review. All words and opinions are my own.
Micro Lightweight Balance Bike Review. Kipper is a little ride on mad. However, at three he has pretty much-outgrown everything we have. I noticed he liked to watch his older brother on his bike and we realised it could be time to introduce Kipper to the concept. So when Micro Scooters got in contact and asked if we would like to review one of their balance bikes I of course said yes.
Micro Lightweight Balance Bike Review
Kipper was very excited about the prospect of getting his own bike. I opted for a Lightweight Balance Bike because it would be his first experience of having a bike of any kind. It is one of the lowest weight bikes on the market at just 2.8kg which I hoped would make it easier for him to use. Plus it would also mean that if I ended up having to carry it around on a day out it is more than manageable. He chose a green one which is his favourite colour. I was impressed to find that they had a lot of different colours to choose from including pink, purple, orange, blue, silver and yellow. So there is bound to be something that will resonate with your little one.
The balance bike arrived in a box and all you needed to do was fix the handlebars with the Allen keys provided. The seat height was perfect for him although it is adjustable up to 15.5 inches meaning it will grow with him. It didn’t take long to attach the handlebars which meant he could have a go straight away. Needless to say, since then it has come everywhere with us and he’s really enjoying using it.
Things we love about the Micro Lightweight Balance Bike
- The obvious… it really is lightweight which makes my life so much easier as a parent. Since I know that when we go out there is a good chance at some point I will be carrying it around. Plus it means that Kipper can easily hold it up and it gives him a lot more confidence when handling the bike.
- The wheels are solid which means I do not have to worry about punctures. It is a very smooth ride and the wheels are designed not mark. So Kipper can ride it inside and outside.
- As I would expect the quality is second to none. Despite being light it feels substantially made with good quality materials and fixtures.
- Designed for children aged 2-5 I expect our balance bike to get a lot of use. The fact that both the handlebars and seat can be adjusted means it will grow with Kipper.
- Kipper absolutely loves it and calls it his green bike. Whenever we leave the house he asks to take it with him. He has also started to develop a daredevil streak looking for hills to ride up and down. Lifting his feet off the floor. Although he is still learning to stop..
Conclusions – Micro Lightweight Balance Bike Review
I can not fault anything about the lightweight Micro Balance Bike at all. It has made my life a lot easier too because we now take it out on our walks. So I don’t need to worry about a pushchair and it encourages Kipper to become more independent which is great. The balance bike is priced at £59.95. But at the time of writing this post, it is currently on offer at £44.95. We have already been asked a number of times while out and about. Where we got it from and I have recommended it to friends.

The balance bike looks fab. Great that it’s so lightweight and can grow with the child
A fabulous scooter and helmet. Gorgeous pics of Kipper, too.
Oh this looks great for little ones! We didn’t do the whole balance bike thing, just straight to bikes with stabilisers. I love the colours of this!
Neither of my children had balance bikes but my sister got one of these for my nephew and she says it’s fabulous – he loves it. My daughter has one of the Mini Micro scooters – it’s great, one of the best things we’ve ever bought!
Fabulous prize thank you xx fingers crossed
Erin has a balance bike and she spends hours on it. They’re so much fun.
This would be perfect for my daughter, her scooter is so old now!
Perfect for my Grandson, he loves his first Micro Scooter and is about ready to go to the next size
My little newphew’s birthday is coming up and he asked for a bike. I might have to get this for him, lol.
I’ve seen balancing bikes before but this one is so tiny. Your little guys seems to love playing with it.
I have been tempted to get my little nephew a balanced bike, he had a scuttle bug but he’s getting so big now! Looks like your little one had lots of fun with the balance bike.
These both look amazing
We looked at balance bikes at the weekend, our little one didn’t seem to interested and kept getting off. She was really interested in the scooters though.
Wow! The balance bike is just perfect for a 3 year old. It looks like Kipper is loving it. Micro scooters are great too!
Fantastic Prize 😀 keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
This would be perfect for my daughter she’s just the right age!
this looks great and you can tell hes having so much fun
Balance bikes are great, definitely the best way for little ones to learn! We absolutely love Micro Scooters, our son wouldn’t be without his!
The bike is cute and looks like it would be fun, but I have to admit that the helmet and the gloves stole the show for me, they are SUPER CUTE!!!
He looks so cute with the bike 🙂 Thank you for the amazing giveaway x
Oh, how adorable! I have a 2 year old that would love to have something like this. He would be thrilled!
Balance bikes are a great way for kids to learn how to stay on top of a bike. They are so much lighter than a regular bike and kids are less likely to fall down. I wish they had them when I was learning how to ride a bike.
We are so way behind on this. I didn’t know there are such things as balance bikes. That’s a cool way to teach little kids about balance. I wish they will bring this to our market someday.
These balancing bikes are a treasure! They teach little guys and gals to balance and learn control of their physical bodies. Bravo!
This could really be great for my niece
This is the cutest thing. I love the colors and such a fun designed bike!
I love things that grow with your child. They get attached to things and it is so cool when they can go with them from year to year.
My little girl would be over the moon to get one of these as a Christmas present! Xx
What a cute bike! Absolutely love the colour 🙂
Great bike perfect for my granddaughter
The balance bike is so useful, especially that it is designed to “grow” with the child. You don’t find these days things that last for so many years.
this is a nice way to help kids learn balance and being independent in the process. in our country, elders would not allow their youngsters to have like these balance bikes for their safety.
What a great giveaway! We love balance bikes. It makes the transition to traditional bikes so much easier.
That is the cutest little bike! I don’t have kids myself, but I have plenty of friends with little ones the perfect age for this. I will be sure to share it!
Fantastic. I’d love to win for my lil boy.
This is such a lush giveaway!
My daughter has been asking for a scooter and these honestly look like the best ones around!

These look great, I’ve been looking at balance bikes for my 2year old daughter, she had the micro trike which she loved & it was easy enough to carry home from the school run when she wanted to walk a little, I’m so glad all their products are so lightweight 🙂
