In our time for a child on the market there is just a huge amount of the most diverse means of transportation. These are both traditional bicycles, scooters, and mini-tires with electric (which we will not be cunning, many adults dream of). But there is a thing that is still quite rare in our country - a runbike. And it is a pity, because it is not only interesting, but also a very useful vehicle.

If you still do not know, running bike - it is, in fact, a bicycle without pedals. It is more passable than a scooter, but it is not as difficult to learn as a bicycle, and therefore even children from 1 year old can ride it. In addition to the simple means of transportation, the runbike perfectly develops the child’s sense of balance, motor skills, ability to evaluate the road and the situation around. Using a runbike is also an excellent opportunity to begin acquaintance with the rules of the road from early childhood. Finally, in the future, it will be easier for the child to master the more familiar bike, because he already knows how to keep his balance, all that remains is to start pedaling.

Of course, even the most beautiful idea can be spoiled by its implementation. Therefore, so that you do not get confused in all the variety of runners, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our rating of the best of them.

Average price: 4 400 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5

A three-wheeled runbike weighing just under 2 kilograms is a real find for both children 2–3 years old and for those who are just learning to walk. Due to the lightness and reliability of the design model helps the child to keep balance. The bright design of the plastic case, developed by European artists and an original steering wheel that resembles bunny ears, will help to attract the attention of the kid.

The best new 2018. Handbrake and bell. Splash protection
A country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 4 990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.4

The top three would be incomplete without the fresh development of a popular domestic company. New runbike will certainly enjoy the child the best set of additions. The call will allow the baby to notify passers-by about the approach. Thanks to the parking stand, the Small Rider can be fixed in an upright position while the child is doing something else that will free the parents from having to carry them all the way. The children will appreciate the handbrake for the best maneuverability of the device, but parents will appreciate that when braking the child does not erase the sole of the shoe on asphalt. The presence of wings will minimize splashing on the child in wet weather.

Advantages of the model:

2 Puky lr m


High security. Durability. Winner of parental sympathies
A country: Germany
Average price: 6 590 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Recommended for the purchase of 100% of buyers, this model is an example of German quality and reliability. The steel frame of the runbike weighs up to 3.7 kilograms, but at the same time it guarantees safety in any situation, because steel is the most durable metal. It also contains the secret of durability. Puky will not bend or break, even if the child often drops it.

At the same time, the manufacturer prudently equipped the steering wheel with a protective bumper to prevent bruises and injuries when it struck the steering wheel. Thanks to the convenient limiters at the ends, the hands of the baby do not slide off the steering wheel. Therefore, the model is suitable for children from 2 years. Also in the reviews is often mentioned excellent wear resistance of the structure, which means that the runbike can be used for several years.

Advantages of the model:

  • Steel frame.
  • Wide footrest.
  • Height adjustable steering wheel and saddle with a takeoff of more than 6 centimeters.
  • Reliable protection.
  • Design like children.

How to choose the best running bike?

  • Seat height. The most important criterion, because it is directly dependent on usability. It is recommended that the height from the seat to the ground be slightly less than the length of your child’s feet. Also pay attention to the range in which you can adjust its height so that in half a year, when the child grows up, the runbike does not become a dead weight in the storeroom.
  • Steering wheel height. There is no clear formula, as is the case with the saddle, but adjustment is also highly desirable, so that the child is comfortable regardless of age.
  • Frame materials. It can be wooden (beautiful and eco-friendly, but rather heavy), plastic (light frame, but not always durable) or metal (the highest strength, average weight and wide adjustment possibilities).
  • Weight. Nevertheless, we choose a model for the child, and therefore, the smaller the mass, the better. From this will depend on comfort while driving, because a smaller mass is easier to budge and stop, and ease of transportation.According to parents, children often love to wear their own "horses". Of course, if they are light enough.
  • Wheels. First, pay attention to the material discs. Plastic, as a rule, lighter than steel spokes, but less reliable. Secondly, tires - EVA polymer is quite easy and not afraid of punctures, but the traditional rubber chamber swallows bumps better, and therefore the choice of one or another option depends on the place where you will most often ride.
  • Brakes. Will be useful for children from 4-5 years and older, because they develop already high enough speed. For smaller drivers, it will simply be difficult to use them because of a tight handle and lack of habit - all the same, the child will first of all reflexively try to brake with his feet and only then remember the brake.
  • Shock absorbers. Such things are useful only if the child will often ride over rough terrain. When driving on asphalt roads, the shock absorbers will not bring tangible effect, but the masses will add.

1 Chillafish bunzi


The best model for the smallest
A country: Belgium
Average price: 3 390 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

This model from the company Chillafish allows you to start using almost from the cradle. Bunzi has a minimum mass and distance from the saddle to the ground. Yes, this model is not able to withstand a lot of weight, but it is unlikely to be needed at all, because despite the adjustments, the child from 2 years will be simply cramped on it.

Advantages of the model:

  • The lightest plastic case - only 2 kg.
  • 2 separate rear wheels can be shifted, which will be useful when the child grows up
  • There is a small box in the seat

Best runbikes from 3 to 5 years

Buying a bike run for a one year old baby is a dubious task. Nevertheless, there is a great chance that the new-fashioned transport will simply not attract his attention. Children from three years old already know a little better what they want, and therefore a purchased bike is unlikely to be another worthless acquisition.

Models for children aged 3-5 differ slightly in weight, increased dimensions and the presence of several additional chips. In addition, this class is the most numerous. In order not to be mistaken in the choice, see our rating.

1 Puky LR 1L Br


The best functionality
A country: Germany
Average price: 8 590 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

In the first place is the most "stuffed" bike run. There are many useful and not very elements that make use more comfortable, but add extra pounds. Well, where without increase in price for all these "buns". Nevertheless, the advantages still clearly outweigh the disadvantages:

  • The presence of handbrake.
  • There is a stand for parking.
  • There is a stand under your feet.

Best runbikes from 5 to 7 years

Finally, we got to the children who are about to need to go to school. Most of this age already already rides through the bike with might and main, but the runbike still remains an actual acquisition. Of course, with the growth of a child, the size of his vehicle must also increase, which we can see in this category. Not only the dimensions of the frame, but also the wheels are increasing, because with a large diameter it is much easier to reach greater speed. By the way, the tires here are exclusively inflatable, which ensures maximum comfort.

Rating (2019): 4.3
