should be the 1st bike for children from age 2 to 7 years old. Why 1st? FirstBIKE is patented and designed in Germany, eliminating pedals & stabilisers because this will help your child concentrate on learning the most important skill for using a two wheel bike which is balancing. Learning balance involves postural control, coordination & strength training that targets big muscle development. This process is part of the well known Gross Motor Skills development, so why not introduce "balance" to your child at an early age so they will grow to be more steady and less clumsy?
FirstBIKE balance bike is built with Glass Fibre Technology, the same material used to build boats & racing cars; this premium material is lightweight, durable & finished without sharp edges. Unlike wood or metal design, FirstBIKE will not swell, scratch, splinter or rust. Therefore FirstBIKE has the highest safety profile and most suitable to be handled by young children.
It is not necessary to learn pedalling because pedalling comes naturally and this could result in moving too fast for young children. Learning balance only starts after removing the stabilisers, but your child will end up falling because he is not aware that he hasn't learn anything while depending on stabilisers for many years. Our most common feedback from parents worldwide regarding this transition is that their child gave up on the conventional bike with broken confidence, especially after jackknifing from steering during full speed pedalling.
FirstBIKE balance bike was introduced in Europe back in 2003, now it's finally available in Malaysia!
