How do they propel themselves, then?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_bicycle

To function properly, a balance bicycle must be small enough that the rider can walk the bicycle while sitting comfortably in the saddle, putting both feet flat on the ground. The rider first walks the bicycle while standing over the saddle, then while sitting in the saddle. Eventually, the rider feels comfortable enough to run and "scoot" while riding the bicycle, then to lift both feet off the ground and cruise while balancing on the two wheels. Children as young as 18 months can learn to cruise a balance bicycle within a few hours' practice.[citation needed]

How do they propel themselves, then?

They use their feet on the ground.

But if their feet are on the ground, how does this help them learn to balance?

They lift their feet when they are going fast enough.
