Balance bike or electric balance bike for a 4-year-old?
Looking at starting my 4-year-old. Plain balance bike or one of the electric ones? What's the better progression?

Start with a plain balance bike — they learn balance and steering without distraction. The electric (like a STACYC) is a great next step at 5–6 to learn throttle discipline. Either way, full gear even on a balance bike.
