  • Summary

    The Glider Rider™ is an innovative balancing bike with no pedals that offers extraordinary development benefits for children between the ages of two and five. Piloting a Glider Rider ™ is terrific fun for kids! At the same time, it's highly beneficial for the development of their sense of balance and motor skills. Mastery of the Glider Rider ™ gives your child an enormous feeling of accomplishment and a boost in self-confidence.

    The Glider Rider™ requires minimal assembly (simply mount the handlebars) and affords parents a "balance" development tool that is safer, more efficient and requires less time for a child to transition to a bicycle with no balance support, e.g., no "training wheels". It also offers a method of exercise for the whole family. (A child rides it at the average adult walking pace.)

    Safety

    No running down busy streets, driveways or in parking lots teaching children to balance. Youngsters that use the Glider Rider ™ won't need balance training.

    No tumbling! No crashing! No crying! No training wheels. Ever!

    Value

    Affordably priced for years of enjoyment. BOTH saddle and handlebars have a fully adjustable 5" range.

    Makes a tricycle obsolete. Skip the trike and never purchase or mount bicycle training wheels. Takes less storage space than a trike; several easily fit in the trunk of any car. Perfect complement for play-group park trips.

    Learning Early Child development specialists consistently point to discovery learning and the proper level of challenge as the two most critical features in a child's educational environment. The Glider Rider ™ supports intellectual development by bolstering the sensorimotor skills of balance and hand- eye coordination. Moreover, it stimulates cognitive development by engaging children in the features of their pathway environment. Children trust their balance and quickly "read" slopes, glide/ride among objects and make autonomous decisions on direction and speed .
    Stylish Award winner in Germany and in international competition for excellence in toy development. It's learning attributes were featured in the Time Magazine Innovations 2004 Edition under the title "Look, Ma, No Pedals!"

The Glider Rider is a great.

It was a much much better way for my daughter to learn to balance on a bike. It's a steal at this price compared to many of the boutique wooden ones I've seen at around $275.

Plus, the wooden bikes just don't work as well. This has a brake, kickstand, seat-handle and, most important for my little rider -- low-step through so she could get on and off easily. It also makes a perfect place to rest feet while gliding.
