Which ride on after wooden trike?

[kwaker5]

DS is 21 mo and getting too big for his wooden ELC trike. Not sure what to get next though. How long is it before they can pedal? Is it worth getting a balance bike or too early? Have also looked at wheelybugs, but are they sturdy enough to be raced up and down a patio 100 times a day?

we have a trike as the next step. DS is 26 months and loves the trike (john lewis), but cannot pedal yet. he also has a bobby car ride on which he loves dearly.
