STRIDER Prebike Features

1.    Safety
  •  No Steering Limitation
    • If a child crashes we want the handlebar to turn "flat," NOT be limited by the bike
    • Steering limiters INCREASE the danger to a child of being poked by the handlebar 
    • STRIDERTM Progression Steering 
      • The STRIDERTM steering starts out stiff and as the child progresses in skill level the steering naturally loosens and soon acts just like the larger pedal bikes 
      • Children need to learn their own steering limits, not have the bike limit their learning!
  • No Awkward Footrest
    • STRIDERTM features a patent-pending, integrated, LaunchpadTM footrest that doesn’t inhibit or endanger children’s feet or shins
      • ONLY balance bike with footrests properly positioned BELOW the saddle.
      • Other bike’s footrests either get in the way or are in the wrong place!
    • This footrest design allows 18 month old children to use the bike and 5 year old children to place their feet up in a stable position when ready to glide 
    • Older children can also STAND on the footrests (just like standing on pedals) allowing for advanced riding skills to develop
  • No Useless Brakes
    • Some “other” balance bikes have lever actuated brake
    • This is dangerous for several reasons
      • Young children’s hands just aren’t strong enough to USE the brake
      • Confusing to the child
      • False sense of security for the adult/parent, the brakes don’t work!
    • STRIDERTM has an optional foot activated brake
      • Children’s first instinct to stop is to put their feet down
      • Most kids won’t even need a brake, they simply stop themselves the same way they started, with their feet!
      • Strider Sports does not recommend our optional brake until the child is proficient at gliding with their feet up 
      • This is a fun option for learning skids, slides, and speed modulation

 

2.    No/Low Maintenance

  • STRIDER’sTM Sealed bearing wheels require only occasional (once a year) lubrication
  • STRIDER’sTM EVA Polymer tyres mean no filling tires and no flat tyres!

 

3.    Quality and Support

 

  • The STRIDERTM frame, fork, and handlebar are made from strong, light-weight, steel
  • All parts are carefully selected, high quality, parts
  • The STRIDERTM meets EU safety standards EN71
    • Strider Sports offers a full line of replacement parts and accessories for the STRIDERTM

 

Toddler Mobility Size

 

For toddlers to use a balance bike it MUST be as small as possible and as light as possible.

 

This is what allows toddlers to take STRIDERTM off-road.

 

Put the child in control , not the bike!

  • Weight
    • STRIDERTM weighs just 6.9 pounds….fundamentally important for small riders
      • Note the 2½ year old toddler in the initial photo easily lifting the STRIDERTM
      • We have a 2 year old girl who often CARRIES her STRIDERTM!

 

  • Adjustable Seat Height
    • 11” – 16” from the ground
    • As high as 19” with Extended Seat Post
    • Critical to adjust to fit children’s ever-changing inseams

 

  • Adjustable Handlebar Height
    • Allows for proper setup as the child grows
    • 20” – 22” Height Adjustment Range

 

  • The small size of the STRIDERTM means it’s truly able to accommodate children aged from18 months to 5+ years old child
