Kids of that age would more-or-less walk while sitting on these. The pedaling comes after balance training (unlike how my generation used tricycles at the same age).

Yes, it's called a balance bike and they're pretty cool. They prepare children for "real" bikes and also help them walk more without getting tired.

Balance bikes are amazing. My kid rode hers daily to day care and back (half a mile or more). At 3 got a pedal bike with no training wheels. Made some progress day one, next day was literally riding. Has been riding ever since. Never had training wheels.
