The best bike for beginners period!

This is hands down the best bicycle for beginners period! My daughter was riding within 5 minutes. She was on a strider peddleless balance bike before for about a year and the transition to the Guardian 16" was so natural for her. Never even needed training wheels! She doesn't even turn 4 until August 26th. I can't speak highly enough about quality and thought that went into the design of this bike. My daughter absolutely loves it. Thank you so much!

Guardian bikes for the ultimate Easter gift.

I gifted my soon to be six year old grandson the 16 inch guardian bike for Easter. The bike is beautiful, and high quality. My grandson loves his new Guardian bike and I love spending time with my grandson seeing the joy on his face as he rides his beautiful new bike. I love that this bike is American made, and I cannot thank Guardian bikes enough for making a high quality kids bike that I can trust. The breaks on this bike are phenomenal. ( LOL! My grandson has shown me multiple times how he is able to stop on a dime ). Thank you Guardian! I will be a Guardian bike custom for years to come. 💕

Guardian bike Easter present.

I ordered the pink Guardian balance bike for an Easter present for my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter. The bike was delivered the next day. The service was fast, the bike was beautiful, and great quality. The assembly was easy. My granddaughter loved her Guardian Easter bike surprise. Thank you Guardian!

Good bike

Excellent lightweight bike, very easy to ride and fun. Had to put air in the tires after assembly, it was low. Easy assembly but needed to adjust the front brakes a bit for it to fit but finally figured it out. 24 inch bike for a 5”2 rider with short legs. It rides good but is a bit too small. Will exchange for 26 inch kids bike. Great customer service and fast responses.

Some things are worth waiting for

My granddaughter absolutely LOVES her new bike. IT is beautiful and easy to ride. It is a "solidly built" bike which makes her feel confident . Due to a mess-up by FedEx, her new bike arrived late-- in fact, a week later than her brother's new Guardian bike. This was not easy at the time-- I was in touch with the folks at Guardian daily. They were on the case and always kind. It wasn't their fault but they knew how hard it was for a child to see a sibling get a precious new bike and be told theirs would come ... eventually, In retrospect, it was a good learning experience for my granddaughter-- and perhaps has made her love her new bike even more. We are happy with how Guardian handled the situation and our little granddaughter is thrilled with her bike. We will definitely buy future bikes from this company.

Training Wheels Compatible

We recommend using the balance bike method when teaching your child to ride a bike, but understand all children learn differently.

Compatible training wheels can be purchased here for our 14", 16", and 20" Bikes.

The Best Bikes at the Best Price

What is Comparable Value?

We believe great bikes shouldn’t break the bank. When we say you’re saving money, we mean it—no inflated prices, no gimmicky markdowns.

Our expert team sources top-quality components and frames and assemble every bike right here in our USA factory.

By manufacturing domestically and managing our own factory, we avoid high tariffs and retail markups, saving you hundreds of dollars on premium bikes without sacrificing quality.

How Do We Calculate Value?

Our "Comparable Value" (Comp. Value) prices are based on the price at which the same product, or a similar item, was offered for sale in the market, either by us or one of our competitors.
