Bobbin 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 to safety regulations.

Assembling a Bobbin balance bike is really easy and fun. Please click here to view our step by step guide to assembling the bike.

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.

Which size helmet should I go for?

The best way to make sure the helmet will fit you is to measure your head. This is also the case for kids as age is not a good indicator.

This is the best way to do this:

Have a flexible tape measure and place it around the circumference of your head.
Position the tape measure at the middle of your forehead, 2 fingers above your ears and at the widest point at the back of your head.
Note the result and then browse our amazing helmet range! Be aware that sizing varies from model to model.
