Specialized Hotwalk balance bike

Dec 2022 · George Hill

A strategically heavy balance bike that is great for smaller children and those looking for durability – but change the bell

Highs
  • Airless tyres mean no punctures

  • Loads of adjustability for growing kids

  • Tough and likely to survive many a toddler wobbly

Lows
  • Bell not easy for a kid to use

  • Not the lightest available
