Can I add training wheels to the bikes?

Great question! YES! Below are the compatible training wheels recommendations:
16” and 20” Small Ethos: Compatible Training Wheels
20” Small AIROS: Compatible Training Wheels+ Axle Extender

Helpful Tips:

INSTALLING TRAINING WHEELS- When you install the training wheels, make sure to only loosen one of the rear "wheel axle nuts" at a time. Do not loosen both sides at the same time. The goal is to make sure the wheel doesn't move when you install the training wheels. If you loosen both wheel nuts at the same time, the wheel can slide forward or backward in the "dropouts" causing these two issues.

The amount of tension on the chain will change.
The wheel can move which can cause one of the brake pads to rub on the rim.

LEARNING TO RIDE WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS

There is an easier and quicker way to teach children to ride a bike. Over the past several years, balance bikes (bikes without pedals), have become incredibly popular by teaching children to learn to balance first. Following this same approach, we recommend leaving the pedals off our bikes and letting your child learn to balance first by pushing the bike forward with their feet. Once they start to get a hang of balancing, you can install the pedals and let them ride with you by their side. In no time, they will be riding away on their own! Lots of our customers have had success using this approach with their children. Here is a video showing this: 3 Easy Steps to Ride a Bike.
