      Bicycles are called bikes in the US and some other countries.

      I assume you come from one of the countries where motorcycles are called bikes?

        Bike is short for bicycle. Motorcycles aren’t bikes. Obviously the short form of motorcycle is mike.

        I think they’re referring to the lack of pedals.

        A push bike is a type of bicycle. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes/kids-bikes/push-bikes

            If you grew grew a bush into a push bike and cut off all the flowers, it would be a bike with no pedals and no petals.

        While everything you said is correct, it still has no pedals. I thought we (USA) called these scooters.

          It’s a balance bike. I think of scooters as not having a seat.

            I completely agree. Unless of course you’re talking about a Vespa… 🫠

          Like the other reply said, it is called a Balance Bike.

          To add some more context, it is not a scooter because you aren’t supposed to stand up on them but sit like a real bike but you move by pushing with your feet. They are training bikes for toddlers before they have the hand-eye coordination for peddling and you can either graduate to a kids bicycle with training wheels or some kids just go straight to the bicycle without the training wheels.

      indeed.

      The dandy horse, an English nickname for what was first called a Laufmaschine (“running machine” in German), then a vélocipède or draisienne (in French and then English), and then a pedestrian curricle or hobby-horse, or swiftwalker, is a human-powered vehicle that, being the first means of transport to make use of the two-wheeler principle, is regarded as the forerunner of the bicycle.

      It’s not a motorbike, not a bicycle, but it can be a bike. It has 2 wheels.
