    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.
