    Is there such a thing as a balance bike for bigger kids? Most seem to go no bigger than 110cm.
    Friend of mine is after one for her son who is 110cm at 5 years old.
    They’re on a budget as her husband is disabled so cheaper options or 2nd hand options would be good..
    Thanks

    Remove the cranks etc. from a normal bike?

    Yep, when ours was ready to move on from balance bike we bought her a 14″ pedal bike and took the pedals off. She scooted around on that for a bit, but ended up with the pedals back on in no time.

    I recall someone on here building a custom full size balance bike for a disabled teenager, was fantastic but I suspect very much out of their price range. As said above remove crank/BB and make foot rest from a bit of dowel which be my plan.

    Strider do a larger model too, but i’d ditto that a normal bike with the pedals off would be a better way to go
