Product Description
Meet the YBIKE! A fantastic new bike made especially for kids! The YBIKE has been engineered with safety in mind and designed to help improve your childs balance and co-ordination skills.
This pushbike is tough. The YBIKE sports injection moulded construction, which eliminates weak points and offers more design freedom, hence the sleeker curves and smooth, superior finish.
When it comes to kids, safety is the main concern. For this reason the front wheel is considerably further forward, affording a bigger turning circle, which reduces the risk of falling over the front when turning. The back wheel is also covered to stop children from riding over their feet. The YBIKE body is designed for better clearance of obstacles and the larger wheels produce a safer ride on uneven surfaces.
Enjoy the freedom of the outdoors and the joys of cycling from as early as 1.5 years old. The YBIKE will help your child develop an early sense of balance and control, along with independence, self-confidence and happiness!
Kids who tested the bike for 20-30 minutes twice a week showed the following improvements:
Substantial improvements in both static and dynamic balance
Substantial improvements in bilateral coordination
Observable improvements in physical self-confidence
Weight 3.2kg, Height 44cm, Length 84cm, Width 24cm
These are just some of the YBIKEs great features:
Balance & Movement
Designed and engineered to help your child build the skills, balance and coordination needed to ride a big-kid bicycle
Large Wheels
Larger wheels were designed for safer play and easier riding on uneven surfaces
High Ground Clearance
The ground clearance of the body is high enough to ensure safety regardless of terrain
Safety First
Other similar products use a process called blow-moulding. It reduces design freedom and tends to have weak points - Not YBIKE!
Get ready for balance bikes!! Already a massive success in Europe, Balance Bikes are set to become a worldwide trend. Tests in Germany and other countries clearly show the benefits of not using balancing aids (training wheels/stabilizers) on small bikes for children. The use of such balancing aids proved to stunt the gross motor skill development of a young child. In short, it is not beneficial to have your child play on bicycles with balancing aids. During trials conducted by the Sports Science Institute of the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa on YBIKE, the results clearly showed remarkable improvement in a child's Gross Motor Skills, with some tests showing 100% improvements. The above applies to both YBIKE and YBIKE Extreme! Award winning balance bike, winner of the SABS Design Excellence Award - Bigger wheels for safer riding on uneven surfaces - Two wheels at the back lending a small degree of balancing aid, but still allowing the child to lean to the side during turning, this also gives a safer ride as a standard trike tips over on sharp turns - High ground clearance and shape of lower body allows for safer riding over big obstacles - Bigger angle on front fork allows the wheel to be further forward from the kids centre of gravity, allowing for a safer turn - Internal fork locking mechanism reduces the tightness of a turn, also allowing for safer turning - Covered rear wheels stop little feet from being driven over - YBIKE also received a South African Toy of the Year Award in 2007
