Gingersnap Balance
Regular price £100.00 GBPBobbin is the home of retro bikes. The Gingersnap is our iconic kid's range and can be spotted on all the best instagram feeds.
The Gingersnap Balance bike is a miniature version of our adult bikes, designed for ages 2-4. It has all the classic practical Bobbin touches you would expect: beautiful gloss paint finish, smart brown grips, an embossed Bobbin saddle and a handmade wicker basket.
What is a balance bike? It’s a basic training bike without pedals, a chain or brakes. Riders “scoot along” with their feet to get the hang of balancing and steering. It's a great way to get your mini-me started on their own Bobbin adventures.
* Please note valve caps pictured are not supplied with this bike due safety regulations.

- The bike arrives in a box. The handlebars and front must be attached.
- The basket is attached simply by the straps.
- The box contains basic tools. You will also need scissors, pliers, a screwdriver and a pump.
Some things to note:
- The basket is not machine made, it is hand woven from natural materials. Inconsistencies in weave, finish and colour are to be expected and are part of its charm.
