Build a child's first bike — a bamboo balance bike — from scratch at home. This kit uses natural flax fibre instead of carbon to bond the joints, so the whole frame is plant-based and sustainable. A satisfying weekend project and a keepsake your child learns to ride on.

No experience needed: everything bonds with the included resins and tacking glue, and full instructions walk you through each step. A great introduction to frame building before tackling a full-size kit.
