Introducing tike by Live Play Create

tike is a simple developmentally superior way to teach children to ride

• Designed for 2 – 6 year olds (though older kids will have fun on it for years beyond)
• Develops balance and coordination and proprioception
• Learn to ride without trainer wheels
• Develop vital balance and motor skills before they can ride a two wheel bike
• Safe approach to teaching young children to ride through limited steering angles, low centre of gravity and accurate steering geometry
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (no chains and grease)

Why choose tike over a regular bike?

• Kids can ride the tike from day one. First they walk it, then as their confidence and skill develops they run with it and coast only putting their feet down to propel, balance and stop.
• Develop key balance and steering motions
• Don’t learn bad habits from training wheels that are hard to break
• Easier to ride than a tricycle as your child’s feet are in constant contact with the ground
• Kids can experience freedom and independence of a bike earlier with tike
• Tike grows with your child’s abilities and height
• Unisex design, tike can be modified to either gender by changing seat colours
• Naturally beautiful – designed to outlast one child and transcend the generations, tike will become a family heirloom.

How?
New riders start by walking while sitting on the tike, then as their skill levels and confidence increase they can begin to run with it.  Once the toddler can confidently balance they coast along on the tike. The rider’s body is their best guidance and they retain control of their position and speed using their feet to propel, balance and stop.

Without pedals, training wheels and brakes to be concerned with they are able to concentrate on central skills – most children get to grips with the tike in a few weeks.
