There are a variety of different bikes which can be suitable for a person with dwarfism, some are smaller versions of average bikes and can be bought from the usual places. However some are slightly more bespoke and can be made specific to a persons ‘needs’. 

 

Balance Bikes

These are small beginner bikes, and can be bought in a range of different colours. They have no pedals and therefore improve balance skills when riding. Once the skills of balance have improved, children can then switch to pedal bikes. They are a great starting point for learning to ride a bike.

General bikes which when bought in a smaller size, can be suitable for people with dwarifsm. They can have stabilisers and handle (specifically for younger children) however both of these can be removed once cycling skills have progressed.
