Question 1

Is Baswil compatible with a Btwin Decathlon bike (14 or 16 inches)?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

From what age can a child start using Baswil?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What's the difference between Baswil and a balance bike for learning to cycle?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How long until my child can ride without training wheels?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How do I install Baswil on my child's bike?

Accepted Answer

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.).

Question 6

Is Baswil guaranteed? Can I return it?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How much does Baswil cost?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Which countries do you ship to?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

What weight can a Baswil stabilizer support?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Does Baswil need maintenance?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

Can Baswil be resold after use?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

What age range is Baswil really suited for?

Accepted Answer

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.
