This is the lightest weight pedal bike I could find anywhere, weighing in on my scale at 15.6 lbs including the pedals. For comparison, the smallest Strider balance bike is significantly lighter at 6.6 lbs on the same scale, while her Diamondback Lil Impressions comes in at 20.0 lbs with training wheels. For a 32 lbs child, the extra 4.4 lbs made a big difference in how quickly she was able to climb, balance, push, and pedal the bike with confidence.
The seat is closest to the ground, compared to other bikes with pedals that we've tried. One of the great features of the smallest balance bikes is how early kids can get on it. We got the Strider 12 when she was about 18 months, and she has been practicing balancing for quite a long time, and became quite proficient. The only reason it has taken this long to move to a pedal bike is because she was just not tall enough to reach the floor. On the lowest setting, the top of the Strider 14X seat is just about 15" off the ground. For comparison, the Strider 12 was about 11", while the Diamondback Lil Impressions was a horrible 18". For a 36" tall kid, these 3" are big difference. This height meant that she couldn't reach the ground from the 14X seat until very recently after her last growth spurt (and who knows when she'll reach it from the Diamondback...).
The removable and narrow pedals are absolutely brilliant! She was pretty confident on the smaller Strider 12 balance bike, so we started off on the 14X without pedals and spent an hour just getting comfortable balancing this new, bigger bike. Then we came home and added the pedals. The first instinct she had was to try to pedal from a cold start, the same way she's done with her Diamondback. The next thing she tried was to just push the bike with her feet like a balance bike. This is where the narrow pedals shine, because it allowed her legs to reach the floor even with the pedals on and push it like before. Then as she picked up speed, she naturally just tried putting one foot on a pedal. Then the other. Then turning them. Finally, it all came together and she was able to bike around like a champ.
So here's some free, unrequested advice, and basically my own advice for our second child who is not even a week old yet. Learn to balance on a balance bike as soon as you can comfortably reach the floor from the seat. Learn to turn the pedals on anything that has a pedal (ideally, something lighter than 20 lbs!). Then as soon as you can reach the floor from a seat that's 15" high, get on a Strider 14X! It's awesome, five stars.
PS: and my advice to myself (and other parents) -- the best you can do is encourage the little one to practice, and cheer them on! (i.e. don't try to push them or balance them with your hands, you're probably just distracting them)
We quickly noticed, though, that he needed another bike in order to keep up with other kids who had common 16” non-balance bikes. We had hoped we could use the 14x balance bike with pedals for a longer time (he used it 3 months) before needing another bike, but found that while the 14x is great for learning to balance and pedal, it isn’t a long term use bike—not as long as we wanted anyway. It’s heavy and more rigid in its movement. Our near 4.5 year old son is now enjoying a 16” common pedal bike. It only took a couple tries to be confident and no training wheels were used.
Overall we’re glad we bought this; he was very successful in learning to ride. The 14x bike with pedals was used for just over two years (age 3-4) for one kid.

Der Lenker geht etwas schwerfällig, dass lässt sich aber mit etwas Öl selber beheben.
Leider ist kein Ständer am Rad. Die Muttern an den Rädern sind schwarz lackiert und da das Rad häufiger abgelegt wird und auf den Muttern liegt, geht der Lack auch entsprechend schnell ab.
Die Lackierung in orange finde ich gut, weil das Rad schnell gesehen wird. Auch ist die Verarbeitung sehr gut. Ich würde es wiederkaufen.
Looks great and rides great. You can tell the bike is made well. Will buy the strider brand again over other brands.
