Have you seen kids on run bikes? You can start them at 2-2.5 and if you find a pedal bike small enough, they will be riding without training wheels ever at 3.5 or 4.
We have a rough gravel driveway so training wheels were never an option but the kids were riding a bike at 4 with no problems as all they had to master was pedaling and starting off.
