If your kid is using a balance bike, be sure to take them somewhere flat like a playground. If the ground is even slightly inclined, the kid cannot coast, and they spend their energy inefficiently pushing themselves and their bike forward.
Playgrounds are boring... ;-)

You may have never encountered a small kid who rides a balance bike at speed, with enormous little kid enthusiasm, up and down hills. :)
Going slightly downhill can make it even easier to focus on balancing instead of propulsion.
