Product Description
The LIKEaBIKE Jumper is the ultimate kid's balance bike. This aluminum bike is complete with shock absorption and limited steering angle. This is the RAD LIKEaBIKE that will have your kids on their way to their first full suspension mountain bike in no time. The LIKEaBIKE Jumper is made for kids between the ages of 2 and 4 years old and is just 7.5 lbs. The LIKEaBIKE is the perfect introduction to cycling. Mastering how to ride a LIKEaBIKE will give your child a huge boost of confidence. As early as two years old, children can fulfill their urge to be active with this walking bike and have their first experience of riding on two wheels. A LIKEaBIKE has no pedals. This allows the child to learn balance without training wheels and gain the confidence to adapt what they have learned to a real bike without the need for training wheels. Riding a LIKEaBIKE is incredible fun for kids. At the same time it's highly beneficial for the development of their motor skills and sense of balance.

Customer Reviews
Great Bike
Day One: Moments of frustration because the bike does not stand up on its own (like a trike). By the afternoon, though, my two and half year old son is walking on the bike pretty well.
Day Two: My son is coasting for two to three foot stretches.
Day Seven: My son is coasting down short hills in the grass.
Day Fourteen: My son can ride for a few hundred feet downhill without touching his feet to the ground. He could prbably ride for more, but that's all the longer the hills are where we ride.
He's two and a half and he can ride a bike without training wheels after only two weeks. How could I be happier?
I expect that I should be able to get him on a pedal bike by his birthday. The only thing holding me back is that then he might try to ride off somewhere and he'd only be three.
Best starter bike
I am by no means an expert on bicycles, but I have to say that this has got to be one of the (if not the) best bikes for kids learning to ride. It was relatively easy to assemble and it must weight about 7 pounds. My son (4.5) has never been on anything other than a tricycle and I felt that it was about time he started to learn how to balance. At the recommendation of a friend I looked into like-a-bikes and found this one. All the reviews are great and it is no exaggeration that my son was riding this bike and gliding around in no time at all. We started around the house, but slowly progressed to a tennis court and then a local park. The learning curve on this is beyond all expectations. I thought it would take him weeks, but it was really only a matter of days. SKIP THE TRAINING WHEELS and get this bike. Pedaling will come naturally after your child learns to glide and balance on this.
Well worth the money
The jumper is simply the best balance bike on the market.
I realize that there are cheaper options out there, and as long as you have the money to spend right now, here's why you should buy this one.
- Very adjustable seat - grows with your child. Trust me, they'll enjoy this even after they're riding a pedal bike
- Lightweight frame - makes moving it around easy\
- VERY high quality tires. Ok, so I'm a bike guy, but these two Schwalbe tires alone are worth more than many cheaper alternatives. This matters because they will roll better, provide more cushioning and hold up better than the cheaper alternatives.
Finally, and this is the big one....
RESALE VALUE
Used Jumpers sell for almost as much as a new one. You will easily get 80% of your money back when you're through with it.
Balance bikes are the easy way to get your kid riding, and the Jumper is the premium bike out there. I know my daughter loves hers.
