The PREbike vs. tricycle/training wheels experience





Tricycles are heavy, awkward and easily tip over. Tricycles hinder the mobility of a toddler to such an extent that they are better off walking or running. After extensive time on a tricycle, no balance and bike handling skills have been learned. Training wheels must be used on the next bike... which further perpetuates this lack of balance and bike handling development. If children are exposed to balance at a very early age, as done with a PREbike, they can easily master the skill. This accelerates their development and mobility by a solid 2 years over ordinary means of a tricycle and training wheels. This acceleration of skill and mobility leads to self confidence and nurtures the desire to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
