A wooden balance bike gets your child
rolling!! Your kids will learn to ride in no time on these sturdy wooden
kids bikes. The Runners balance bike is a safer way for your child to
learn how to ride a kids bike and getting comfortable on a balance bike
helps to remove the fear of learning to ride a conventional bike.
It
is amazingly easy. Using Runners kids first walk the bike forward. As
they go faster they stride with feet off the ground for longer and
longer periods of time, ultimately being able to pull both feet off the
ground and coast. At first they tilt to one side or the other and their
feet catch them like training wheels or a tripod would. Very quickly
balance becomes second nature and they can coast for yards with their
feet off the ground. Braking is done in very natural style: just put
your feet down and stop.
Safety: You won't find a sharp edge on them. The gap between the fork
and the frame is filled with felt to prevent finger pinches or scrapes.
This also helps eliminate the front wheel from making sharp turns, which
is a common accident when learning to ride a bike.
Also, the design eliminates feet or hands getting caught and hurt in
the spokes.
Recommended Ages: 2-5
How long does it take to learn?
Most children are able to walk/ride the first time
they sit down and able to coast with their
feet up after a week or two. Learning curves are
different for different children.
How old does a child have to be to ride
Runners?
The sweet little racer is designed for children ages
2- 5.
Is there assembly required?
Runners comes partially assembled, you will only
need to attach the wheels and handlebars, which
should not take more than 10 minutes. Instructions
and tools are provided.
Is the seat adjustable?
The seat is easily adjustable so children of all
sizes can ride Runners-Bike.
How much does Runners-Bike weigh?
The bike weighs about 10 lbs, and is well
distributed, so it is easy to carry when your
toddler tires out.
How high up is the seat?
The adjustable seat ranges from just over 13.5
inches to 16.5 inches high, fitting most 2-5 year
olds. We also sell a seat extension.
What are the tires made of?
The tires are pneumatic rubber. They can tolerate up
to 40PSI, but Runners' suggest 20-25 PSI for best shock
absorption.
