Abstract
A children's bike convertible between a pedal bike and a balance bike has a bike frame, two pedal components, and a quick release assembly. Each pedal component has a crank, a tube connected to a side of the crank, and a pedal connected to the other side of the crank. The tube is inserted into a bottom bracket of the bike frame. The quick release assembly is mounted through the tube of one of the two pedal components and connected to the tube of the other one of the two pedal components. By mounting the quick release assembly to fix the two pedal components to the bike frame, the children's bike can be used as a pedal bike. After detaching the quick release assembly, the two pedal components can be detached from the bike frame to convert the children's bike to a balance bike.
