Like a Bike - Balance Bike

Why choose Like a Bike?

The Like a Bike series by KOKUA Bikes is where a child's first cycling adventures begin — a gateway to confidence and freedom, and a smooth path from wobbly first rides to confident cruising.

Which one fits?

  • Jumper 12 — ages 2 to 4, inner leg 360–460 mm. Seat 340–440 mm. 3.4 kg. Also in a Black Dirt Edition with knobbly tyres.
  • Jumper 14 — ages 3 to 5, inner leg 460–580 mm. Seat 445–555 mm, or from 385 mm with the optional short seat post. 4.2 kg. Adds a rear V-brake.

Measure your child's inside leg from crotch to floor in bare feet, then match it to the ranges above.

A note on sizing: these are KOKUA's own figures, set to European conventions. Children vary, so trust the inner-leg measurement over the age range — and if your child falls between two bikes, size down. Every KOKUA has a wide saddle adjustment and will grow with them.

  • Lightweight aluminium frame: high-grade Aluminium 6061, light enough for little hands to control, sturdy enough for childhood.
  • Custom ergonomic saddle: designed with Velo for comfort on every ride.
  • Gentle elastomer suspension: absorbs the bumps, protecting your child's spine from harsh vibration.
  • Safe steering damper: stops the front wheel swinging too far, making learning to steer far less frightening.
  • High-quality components: alloy wheels, stainless steel spokes, sealed bearings and Schwalbe tyres at 40–50 PSI.
  • Thoughtful extras: an SKS rear mudguard and an optional Saccon V-brake for the Jumper 12.
  • A seamless move to pedals: Like a Bike refines the skills that make the step up to a LtB 16 SRAM Automatix effortless — no training wheels needed.

At KOKUA Bikes we created the first commercially available balance bike 25+ years ago, and have refined it ever since.
