Tokyobike Paddle

A lightweight balance bike designed to introduce children to cycling through simplicity and confidence.

About this bike

The Paddle is Tokyobike’s balance bike, designed as a child’s first experience of riding. Without pedals, it allows children to develop balance and coordination naturally, making the transition to a bicycle much easier.

Built with the same design-led approach as the adult range, it focuses on lightness, simplicity and ease of use.

What sets it apart

• Lightweight steel frame
• Balance bike design (no pedals)
