Adventure made easier.

Meet Big Foot

Built with a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame, knobbly 2.25" tires, and light pull Tektro brakes, Big Foot is designed for adventure out of the box. A comfortable, finely tuned geometry promotes safety, confidence, and progression while high-grade rims, hubs, and tyres ensure smooth rides and grip in all conditions. Thoughtful design emphasises sustainability, longevity, and performance, making it a durable, eco-friendly choice that inspires many kids to ride for years to come.

Closer look

The full story

Progression from the first push off

Even for a balance bike, even for a toddler. Because a finely tuned geometry is the difference between a lifetime of riding or a balance bike they can’t be bothered with.

Good geometry, the stuff we obsess over, means safety, confidence, progress and, of course, fun. It's a science and an art, and something we have dialled in over 18 years of pioneering kids bike design.

Lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted

The Big Foot is handcrafted from 6061 grade aluminium. And it's not just the parts you can see, we swap more steel and plastic for aluminium than anyone else.

Aluminium has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metals. It's corrosion resistant and has a flexibility that makes it a pleasure to ride. It's also 100% recyclable. All of which makes our Big Foot and Charger models the best for your kids and for all those they're handed down to.

Roll model

Even for a balance bike, even for a toddler. Because a finely tuned geometry is the difference between a lifetime of riding or a balance bike they can’t be bothered with.

Good geometry, the stuff we obsess over, means safety, confidence, progress and, of course, fun. It's a science and an art, and something we have dialled in over 18 years of pioneering kids bike design.

Tread carefully

The Big Foot features 2.25" wide tires, the same width we spec our big kid bikes with. This added stability really helps little kids learn with ease. The added space allows us to pump in more air, smoothing out rooty rocky trails for a smoother ride. The chunky, knobbly tyres offer extra grip in wet, muddy conditions. All of this means more control, more confidence and more progression no matter the terrain.

We're control freaks

The Big Foot runs anatomically designed Ritchey bar and stem, with a powerful, light pull Tektro rear brake with a short reach lever, to give maximum confidence in the controls.

Controls are a matter of trust. Ritchey Logic have been at the forefront of component design for the past 50 years. Tom Ritchey, it's indefatigable president and lead designer, is one of the pioneers credited with the invent of mountain biking, amongst other innovations. We have collaborated for over 10 years, producing the best kids specific components to elevate our bikes.

Sustain-Ability™

Taking materials out of the ground to make bikes isn't sustainable. Kids bikes are the worst, often unable to last even one child. Early RIder's solution? Simple, a contrary design and manufacturing mandate: 'to sustain ability'.

To sustain the ability to inspire, child after child. To build bikes designed to last and to ensure children can reach the level of skill that make sure they'll always ride. In other words taking an uncompromising focus on form, function and top quality parts built to last.

To sustain the ability of all those involved in the production of our bikes to live healthy, fulfilled lives. In other words creating safe work environments, promoting employee wellness, supporting communities and upholding human rights through the entire supply chain.

What a bike !! Best on the market

Great bike. Manufactured to the highest standards of a mountain bike. Hand brake, cable run within the frame tubes and oversized tires for more balance. My grandson is 18 months and loves it.

My son raced pro Supercross and motocross and he really loves it for his son.

Coolest bike on the playground

I’ve been riding and appreciating bikes my whole life. So naturally I wanted to get my son a cool first bike. I was surprised all the brands I’ve been riding for years didn’t have a great option for a balance bike. So I took a shot on Early Rider, and I’m extremely impressed. The quality is better than I was imagining. It looks awesome. My son is getting it for Xmas, so he hasn’t rode it yet but when he opens it, and if a 1.5 year old could talk, I’m sure he would comment on the light aluminum frame, weight distribution, and overall quality…Can’t wait for him to ride it!

What a fast hoot of a bike

Our son absolutely loved the bike. Started cruising almost immediately on it. Good stand over height and good clearance for going over obstacles.

My son Loves it!

My son is 2 1/2 and LOVES his new bike! He is flying on it after only a few weeks. Very well made and just a great investment. I was worried about spending that much in a toddlers bike but it’s worth it.

High end/high quality product at a great price

Very nice bike, as good of finish that would be expected of a new (non factory second) one which shows the attention to detail and pride they have in their products.
