At bike exhibitions, usually everyone is focused on the latest high-end developments and news, but at the end a different kind of product sticks in one’s memory. The Early Rider Road Runner 14″ balance bike we spotted at the Cosmic Sports booth, is one of these products.

The Early Rider Roadrunner – how cool can a little bikers life start?!

The presented balance bike “Road Runner 14” will cost 219 € and is made for kids between the ages 3 and 5. The well-made frame is equipped with classy components like an carbon seatpost, a leather saddle and a roadbike-style handlebars.

In addition to the presented version, the balance bike will be available with standard flatbars and – following the current trend – as an XL version with extra-wide tires.
