Meet the new Freewheel Balance Bike by Saracen


We received America's first ever Saracen product recently: the Freewheel Balance Bike.
Available for $199.95 at WeeBikeShop and their authorized dealers.

The 6061 aluminum frame is impressively welded together with really awesome looking decals protected under the thick topcoat. The Saracen Freewheel balance bike shares some genetics with the infamous Scoot Balance Bike by Ridgeback UK, but with more frame tubes, different tires by VEE Rubber, black rims and a striking saddle that matches the frame's color scheme. We also spied a better quality, more refined brake lever mounted to the black handlebars.
The Saracen brand is legendary in the XC and downhill mountain bike racing scene, recently earning the coveted rainbow stripes awarded to athletes and products that win a world championship race. With this in mind, it's easy to see that this balance bike is all business, and most definitely NOT a toy. All parts are industry standard and easily serviced in any bike shop. The weight of the bike is a pleasing 10-1/2 lbs right out of the box, and can be reduced further with some custom tuning of tires, brakes and handlebars by the technicians at WeeBikeShop.
