It firstly involves just standing with a balance bike in between their legs. Then they progress to walking around with the balance bike, slowly at first. Gradually they increase the pace with which they move with the balance bike until eventually they take their feet off the floor and begin to glide. Then they start whizzing along. Bike size matters. For tiny toddlers, who are just mastering their walk, both feet must be firmly on the ground when they’re straddling their bike (1). You’ll likely appreciate the bike’s sturdiness.
