A strategically heavy balance bike that is great for smaller children and those looking for durability – but change the bell
Airless tyres mean no punctures
Loads of adjustability for growing kids
Tough and likely to survive many a toddler wobbly
Bell not easy for a kid to use
Not the lightest available

A new bike, and with it a new price bracket, but can the Specialized Hotwalk Carbon balance bike 'inspire a lifetime of riding'?

The Specialized Hotwalk Carbon may ruin all other kid's bikes for your child. But it also may foster a lifetime of riding.
Dec 2020 · James Smurthwaite
Specialized has also spent some time desigining some kid-specific features on this bike including handlebars that have a 38% smaller diameter, a handle under the saddle for parents to use to carry the bike when the child gets tired and streamlined stays that make it easier for kids to put their feet down.

The Specialized Hotwalk is one tough and rugged balance bike. Great for any rider, but best for adventerous riders sticking mainly to pavement. Read the review!
