Riding without pedals — is that even cycling?

THE flexible stabilizer that teaches real cycling skills.

As if there were no stabilizers at all — your child pedals, leans into turns, and builds confidence from the very first ride.

Have you noticed it too?

For 50 years, parents have been given two choices: training wheels that don't teach balance, or a balance bike that doesn't teach pedaling.

50ANS

The same design for 50 years

Two rigid bars, two wheels. The recipe has never changed. What if we could do better today?

?

Balance bikes skip the pedals

Kids learn to stay upright, but not to pedal. The result: when they hop on a real bike, half the work is still ahead of them.

The transition — a moment parents dread

The day the training wheels come off, everything starts over. Falls, tears, parents running alongside the bike: the rite of passage is rarely smooth.

The solution

What if training wheels actually taught cycling?

Child on a bike with Baswil — the bike leans naturally into the turn
In action

Confident from the first ride

Your child feels safe and dares to go for it. No fear, no hesitation — just fun.

They lean into turns, just like on a real bike

The bike tilts naturally left and right. Your child feels the real sensations of two-wheeled riding.

Balance builds itself

Core, arms, abs — all the right muscles work without your child even noticing.

Taking the wheels off? A breeze.

Your child already knows how to balance. The switch to a real bike happens smoothly, without tears or struggle.

What parents are saying

In two weeks our daughter was balancing without training wheels. With the old ones we struggled for three months.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Baswil is compatible with every Btwin kids bike from Decathlon: the Btwin 500 (14"), the Btwin 900 (16") and other 12 to 16-inch models. It mounts at the same point as standard training wheels, on the rear wheel axle. No modification to the bike is needed.

From 3-4 years old, once your child can pedal a bike with training wheels. Baswil is designed for 12 to 16-inch bikes, which fits children roughly 3 to 6 years old. It replaces the original rigid stabilizers.

A balance bike works on balance without pedaling. Baswil combines both: your child pedals AND develops balance through natural lean in the turns. It's the perfect step between a balance bike and a two-wheel bike, or a direct alternative for kids who never used a balance bike.

Most parents see real progress within 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. Your child naturally develops balance and coordination, which makes the move to a bike without stabilizers far smoother than with classic training wheels.

Installation takes 5 minutes max with a single wrench. Remove the old training wheels, fit Baswil to the same mounting points (rear wheel axle), and adjust the height with the vertical blade. An illustrated guide is included in the box. Compatible with all 12, 14 and 16-inch kids bikes (Btwin, Puky, Woom, Giant, Scott, etc.).

Yes, 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If the product doesn't suit you, send it back (free return) and we'll refund you in full. Baswil is also covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty against any design defect.

Baswil costs €39 incl. VAT, plus shipping based on your zone (from €9.90 for Belgium up to €28.90 for Portugal). The full kit includes both stabilizers, the mounting hardware and an illustrated manual. No hidden fees — everything is shown before checkout.

We ship to Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Standard delivery: 48-72h in Belgium, Luxembourg and France; 3-5 business days elsewhere in Europe. You'll get a tracking email as soon as your order ships so you can follow your parcel in real time.

Baswil is built for children up to about 30 kg, which covers the full 3-6 year age range comfortably. The composite material keeps its flexibility and strength even after heavy use. The blades have been tested over thousands of lean cycles without any loss of performance.

No specific maintenance is required. Just check from time to time that the mounting nuts on the rear axle are tight, the same way you would for any bike part. The flexible blades need no lubrication, no periodic adjustment and no replacement parts.

Yes, no problem at all. Baswil keeps its flexibility over time and the system comes off in 5 minutes with a single wrench. Many parents pass it on to friends, family or sell it second-hand once their child no longer needs it. It's also a gift that can serve several children in turn.

Baswil is designed for children aged 3 to 6, which corresponds to 12 to 16-inch bikes. That's the age when motor development allows balance to be learned and when children have the strength to pedal independently. Beyond age 6, kids are usually ready to move directly to a bike with no assistance.
