Wishbone Cruise Balance Bike

The Wishbone Cruise is a balance bike made from post-consumer recycled plastic and plantation birch. It is a mash-up of those materials, turning what could be landfill into a bright, hard-wearing first bike.

The seat adjusts from 31 to 40cm, so you can raise it as your child grows. That range helps the bike stay comfortable over time, keeping the rider at a height where they can push along easily.

It comes with larger 14 inch wheels, which help give a smoother ride over paths and bumps. Bigger wheels roll more easily, so young riders can keep momentum while they practise balancing.

The Cruise is made for children 2 years and up. From that age a child can push along with their feet and work on balance, with no pedals to slow down the learning.

With no pedals, a child can focus purely on steering and balance. This is the easy way to build the core skill of riding, so moving on to a pedal bike later becomes much simpler.

Yes. It is built for easy assembly and repairs, and carries a 5 year warranty. Wishbone recommends storing it indoors overnight, which helps the recycled plastic and birch stay in good condition.

Assembled, the Cruise measures 41 by 18.9 by 21.3 inches and weighs about 11 lbs. That keeps it light enough for a young child to handle while still feeling stable once they are moving.
