Strider PREbike Balance Running Bike Overview

Ditch the trike and training wheel phases and go straight to two wheels with the Running Bike by Strider. Seriously, kids from 1-5 can ride this bike-how many other “toys” are gonna stay with them that long?? With the lowest seat height in the industry (11″) and the biggest seat adjustment span (5″-7″), the Running Bike lets the tiniest riders sit and propel the bike with their legs without starting off on a heavy tricycle or feeling off-balance and wobbly with training wheels. Talk about a confidence booster. Be sure your little one is outfitted in a helmet: We love Giro’s Rodeo and Me2 noggin protectors. Features: Durable but lightweight steel construction Airless EVA Polymer tires-No flats! Adjustable seat (11″ to 16″ with stock seat post, up to 18″ with XL post) 3″ handlebar adjustment No pedals or sprockets to get in the way Optional rear brake for advanced riders Designed for riders 1-5 years old and up to 50 lbs. Weight: 6.9 lbs. (1/2 the weight of the average trike!)…
