Natural strength. Precision engineering. The first real ride.
The EARLY RIDER Superply Bonsai 12 is more than a balance bike – it is a thoughtfully designed masterpiece of design and engineering, created for children whose freedom of movement begins with their very first steps. This model combines the tactile warmth of birch wood with the durability of aluminium, achieving an outstanding balance between aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. It is a product for parents who seek uncompromising quality and for children who deserve a safe, lightweight, and inspiring environment for independent exploration.
Unique design and style – a premium wooden balance bike
The Bonsai design is inspired by the principles of balance found in nature – light, clean, and functional. The horizontally laminated SuperPly™ frame is precisely engineered to harness the natural elasticity of wood, delivering exceptionally smooth ride quality and comfort while maintaining high structural stiffness. The single-sided rear stay gives the bike architecturally clean lines and reduces material usage during production.
This is a balance bike that fits perfectly into a modern, aesthetically refined environment while encouraging a child’s curiosity about nature, movement, mechanics, and the world as a whole.
Practical everyday use – benefits for the child and peace of mind for parents
The Bonsai 12 is designed so children can learn balance naturally – without training wheels and without pressure. Its lightweight construction allows a child to easily manoeuvre, lift, and control the bike, developing coordination, self-confidence, and body awareness. Pneumatic tyres with sealed bearings ensure a quiet, smooth ride both in parks and on city pavements.
For parents, this means:
a lower risk of falls, as the child learns at their own pace;
a durable, reliable product that requires minimal maintenance;
long-lasting value – one balance bike that serves for years and retains its worth for the next generation.
How to choose and its impact on child development
This model is ideal for children who are ready for active movement and want more independence. The low standover height allows for a safe and confident start, while ergonomic components help develop proper posture and healthy movement habits. Regular riding improves balance, concentration, and confidence in physical abilities, making it an excellent foundation for transitioning to a pedal bike without stress.
