WHAT THIS FITS

An attachment for the leg&go frame

This is not a standalone bike. It attaches to the leg&go Balance Bike 3in1, so you will need that frame for it to work.

leg&go Downhill Bike Add-on for the Balance Bike 3in1 $189.00

A balance bike has no brake. Children stop with their feet, which works fine on the flat and works a lot less well on a slope. This attachment gives the bike its first brake, and somewhere to put their feet while they use it.

This is an attachment, not a bike. It fits the leg&go Balance Bike 3in1 frame and nothing else, so you will need that bike for it to work.

What you are getting

Somewhere to put their feet Rest them on the pad and freewheel instead of holding their legs out to the side.

The same pad is the brake Push down on the tip of the footboard and it slows. One movement, nothing to learn.

Stable enough to stand on leg&go state it is designed to take a rider standing up, which is what they will try first.

On and off in a minute Take it off for the school run, put it back for the park. Nothing is permanent.

Fits Balance Bike 3in1 only

Function Footrest and brake

Warranty 2 years

Worth saying plainly

This attachment exists so a child can go faster downhill. That is the point of it, and it is good fun. We would put a helmet on them and stay within arm's reach on anything steeper than a gentle slope, at least until you have both seen how the brake behaves on your hill. More on our Safety First page.

What it fits and what it does not

This fits the leg&go Balance Bike 3in1 and nothing else. It is not compatible with balance bikes from other makers, and it does not work on its own.

The bike is sold separately. If you do not already have one, add it alongside this and both will arrive together.

It is not compatible with the Pedal or Tricycle attachments at the same time. One configuration at a time, swapped when you want.

Assembly Required. Instructions included

Materials and origin

Made by Shaman Inventions Ltd in Latvia, in the European Union, in the same workshop as the bike it attaches to.

leg&go state a 2 year warranty on this attachment. The bike itself carries 5 years, so the two are not the same and we would rather you knew that up front.

Certification information is supplied by the manufacturer. Email us and we will request the documents on your behalf.

Fitting and care

The attachment fits to the rear of the balance bike and instructions are in the box. Because it is a brake, check that it engages properly before the first ride and then again now and then, in the same way you would check the brakes on your own bike.

Wipe the wood with a damp cloth and dry it. Keep it indoors between rides, because prolonged damp is what shortens the life of a lacquered plywood part.

Check the fixings every few months and after any hard use. Follow the manufacturer's manual for fitting and any age guidance.

Shipping and returns

Free shipping across Canada and the contiguous USA. Orders leave us in 1 to 5 business days.

No customs duty to either country.

30 days to return it from the day it arrives. Return shipping is paid by you unless the fault is ours, and there is no restocking fee.

Not sure whether they are ready for this one? Tell us how they handle a slope on the balance bike now and we will give you a straight answer. hello@truelittlenorth.com

One frame, reconfigured as they grow. Quicker to watch than to read about.

HOW IT GROWS

The frame stays. Everything else moves.

The seat and handlebars raise as they do, and the attachments change what the bike is for. You are not buying a stage, you are buying the frame all the stages hang off.

Sitting and pushing

Seat at its lowest, feet flat on the ground, nothing in the way.

Balancing

Seat raised, feet up, gliding. This is where the real skill is learned.

Pedalling

Add the pedal attachment. No training wheels, because the balance is already there.

Tricycle or downhill

Extra stability with a rear cargo box, or a footrest brake for hills.

Seat and handlebar heights are listed on the product page. Follow the manufacturer's manual for sizing and setup.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Four things you will notice

7.2 lb, and that mattersA child who can pick the bike up will ride it further from the house. Most wooden balance bikes are heavier, and metal ones heavier still.

The frame is the suspensionBaltic birch plywood flexes. iF Design's judges singled out the cantilevered suspension when they awarded it Gold in 2019.

Belt drive, not chainOn the pedal and tricycle attachments. Nothing to oil, and no chain to catch fingers or trouser legs.

Real bike partsInflatable tires, light rims and metal spokes rather than moulded plastic wheels.

ORIGIN

Designed and built in the European Union

leg&go is made by Shaman Inventions Ltd in Latvia, from Baltic birch plywood. Designed, engineered and manufactured in the same place, not assembled from parts shipped in and rebadged.

"It's crazy how many disposable things are constantly produced in this world. I decided to do it differently, to create a bike that grows together with its rider, so that the parents shouldn't buy a new one after a year."

Egons Garklavs, founder and chief designer

Questions parents ask

Does it come with pedals?

No. The bike ships as a balance bike. Pedals are the separate Pedal Bike Add-on, which is deliberate, because balance comes first and pedals come later.

Will the attachments fit later, or do I have to buy now?

They fit the same frame, so you can add them at any point. Nothing expires and nothing needs to be bought as a set.

What size child does it suit?

Sizing is by height rather than age, and the seat and handlebars adjust. The measurements are on the product page. Send us your child's height and we will tell you honestly whether it is too early.

Is wood strong enough for a bike?

It is Baltic birch plywood, and the flex is the point. iF Design's judges specifically praised the cantilevered suspension when they gave it Gold in 2019. leg&go also report running one 40,075 km on a test rig with only the tires needing replacement.

Chain or belt?

Belt, on both the pedal and tricycle attachments. Nothing to oil, and no chain to catch fingers.

Can it be left outside?

We would not. It is a plywood frame with a protective finish, so rain and prolonged damp are not its friend. Bring it in and it will last.

Where is it made?

In the European Union. Specifically Latvia, by Shaman Inventions Ltd, from Baltic birch plywood.

How does it arrive?

Flat packed with a manual. Assembly is straightforward and the tools you need are included.

Not sure it is the right moment?

Tell us your child's height and whether they are walking confidently. We will tell you honestly whether to buy now or wait six months.
