Does your big kid still struggle with the balance
required to ride a traditional bicycle?
The PV Glider Go Glider 16 Inch Balance Bike is a solution you’ll both
love! Forget the embarrassment of
training wheels and the shaky self-confidence kids face when they can’t keep up
with their peers. Within hours of
climbing on the PV Glider running bike, your child will be a pro!
This balance bike by PV Glider was designed with big
kids in mind. Carefully engineered
for ages 6-9 years, most children who wear clothing sizes 5-10 with an inseam of
17.5” – 23” will be able to ride the PV Glider Go Glider. The seat is fully adjustable so the bike
grows with your child. As long as
they can sit on the bike with their feet flat on the ground, this running bike
is ready for anything – and so is your child! (For smaller or younger children 2T-5,
the PV Glider Mini Glider is sold separately).
The concept behind the running bike is a simple
one. Without the interference of
pedals, all kids have to do is push off and they’re riding! Because there are no pedals to catch and
control and braking is as simple as putting their feet down, kids quickly learn
the ropes and put their fears behind them.
The balance bike was designed to help kids learn to ride without training
wheels, but the boost of self-confidence they’ll get from riding on their own is
perhaps worth even more.
Why choose the PV Go Glider over a bike with training
wheels? The answer is simple. Research shows that the use of training
wheels actually prolongs dependence on them! With training wheels, bikes cannot lean
and kids miss out on the valuable skill of interacting with gravity. They will not learn the natural motion
of riding until they remove the training wheels, and this is where the PV Glider
rolls in with the safest, smartest solution money can buy.
The PV Glider looks cool, and you can bet that’s
something big kids are looking for in their bikes! The popular BMX look prevails in the
handlebars, which are adjustable and grow with your child. Although there’s an obvious absence of
pedals, foot pegs give feet a place to cruise. Each balance bike boasts a coat of
durable, colorful metallic paint in your choice of three fabulous colors: blue, red, or
pink.
Older kids can be tough on their gear, but the PV
Glider balance bike keeps up in style.
The metal alloy material will not rust, so if kids leave it outside
overnight it’s no big deal. Without
even a chain to worry about, rust is truly a problem of the past. In fact, you can forget most bike
maintenance issues with the PV Glider Go Glider. Because the tires are made of durable
EVA foam, you won’t have to worry about a flat tire putting a stop to your
child’s good times.
The more practical features of the PV Go Glider
include a steering limit to prevent kids from getting hit in the head or chest
as they ride. It also works to keep
the brake line from twisting, but it will not block a full turning radius. PV Glider bikes also have a low speed
balance point so going fast is not required for balance. This is particularly important when your
child is first starting out. An
ergonomically designed relationship between the seat and the handlebars keeps
your child in perfect posture, while a quick release seat clamp allows you to
make adjustments without cracking open a tool box.
