Ides DUAL RIDER by D-Bike

Pros

  • One-push switch converts between balance and pedal mode in seconds without tools.
  • Easy-pull brake builds stopping habits before pedals are ever fitted.

Cons

  • At 6.8 kg it is one of the heavier 30.5 cm bikes, which matters when a child carries or rights it.
  • Ships unassembled, so plan the first build before the debut ride.

The Ides DUAL RIDER by D-Bike switches between kick-bike and pedal-bike modes in about five seconds without tools. Ides lists a rider height of 85-110 cm, a maximum weight of 20 kg, a 13 cm saddle adjustment range and a complete-bike weight of 6.8 kg. Its easy-pull brake and puncture-resistant tyres are documented by the manufacturer, but the frame is heavier to carry or lift after a fall than a dedicated lightweight balance bike. It suits a child who fits the height and weight limits and is ready to practise both balance and braking. Assembly is required; read the included manual, use a helmet and keep riding off public roads with adult supervision.
