Vici is a balance-to-pedal bike for children from 1.5 to 5 years. Instead of three different bikes you need just one: the same frame adapts as your child grows, from the first steps to riding properly without stabilisers.

A light aluminium frame and Schwalbe tyres make the bike last the whole of childhood. Changing the configuration needs no tools.

Vici is a Dutch brand, founded in 2020 by Mark Nijenmanting, Hans de Wolf and professional triathlete Pim van den Bos. Their aim was simple: a bike a child doesn’t buy three times (a low balance bike, a tall balance bike and a pedal bike), but once.

In 2023 Vici received the Red Dot Design Award for innovative and sustainable design.

Stage 1: low balance bike (1.5–2.5 years)

In the lowest setting, the child pushes off the ground and builds a sense of balance. The seat is low and both feet reach the ground easily, so they feel secure from day one.

Stage 2: tall balance bike (2–3 years)

Turn the frame over and the seat goes up. The child pushes off harder and gains confidence and flow, just like bigger riders.

Stage 3: pedal bike (4–5 years)

Bolt the pedal module to the frame. A child who can already balance starts pedalling almost straight away, with no stabilisers and no fear.
