Janod Wooden Bikloon Balance Bike

The Janod Bikloon is the rugged-looking wooden balance bike alternative to the Banwood. Solid birch frame, sturdier-feeling than the Banwood (slightly heavier), still cleanly designed. Janod’s French design pedigree shows in the colour palette and proportions. Around $130. We’d pick this if the Banwood feels precious for outdoor use — the Bikloon doesn’t mind a bit of mud.
