YBIKE

YBIKE Original

Enjoy the freedom of the outdoors and the joys of cycling from as early as 2 years old. The YBIKE will help your child develop an early sense of balance and control, along with independence, self-confidence and happiness!

Kids who tested the bike for 20-30 minutes twice a week showed the following improvements:

• Substantial improvements in both static and dynamic balance
• Substantial improvements in bilateral coordination
• Observable improvements in physical self-confidence
  (testing by Prof ES Bressan, Dept. of Sport Science, Stellenbosch University)

Whats the idea?

Studies conducted at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa showed that children who used YBIKE over a 2 week period showed up to 700% improvement in some cases in various tests of their balance and co-ordination skills. Incredible!

Apart from a really cool and appealing design YBIKE has been very cleverly engineered to help with a child's overall Motor Skills / Balance Skill development. It has just enough stability and at the same time instability that will teach children from 2 - 4 years old to learn balance. See video for explanation. The idea is that it will tilt over a little bit, so that the child is encouraged to learn balance.

If used enough there is a good chance that your child can progress to a normal bicycle at the age of 3 or 4 without having to use training wheels / stabilizers.
