TRIKKE LAUNCHES A BALANCE BIKE FOR KIDS AGES 2-5 YEARS OLD, INTRODUCING “THE BIKEE”

Santa Barbara, CA. January 25, 2011

The Bikee Balance Bike by Trikke provides kids 2 to 5 years of age an easier way to get comfortable and confident on two wheels. Trikke Tech’s chief designer learned how great balance bikes were when he got a couple for his own 2 year old twins. The balance bike proved to be a fun way for his kids to get their bike confidence rolling! Later, he decided that Trikke can market a nice version of this effective concept. This version of the balance bike has been marketed in Europe, but is just debuting in the US. This product with- stands the rigors of children extremely well. Airless tires make this a great, low maintenance choice for your kid's pre-bike riding days!

What is a balance bike?
A balance bicycle, or run bike is a training bicycle that helps children learn bike balance and steering. It has no pedals or chain and no training wheels. A child mounts the balance bike like they would any bicycle, and propels themselves by pushing off the ground with each foot – much like walking while sitting on a bike. The child then lifts his or her feet off of the ground and feels the two-wheel balancing that they need to learn for riding a pedal bicycle. If they get nervous they can easily place their feet back on the ground. This is a very easy way for the child to get their two-wheeler confidence up for real biking.

Why Buy a Bikee?
 • Bikee teaches kids to ride a bike with confidence, preparing them for an exciting future on two wheels without tears, scraped knees or fear.

 • Bikee contributes to child's coordination and reinforces confidence while mastering maneuverability and a sense of freedom.

 • Bikee teaches kids to have speed control before they push the pedals of their first two-wheeler.

 • Bikee is an great educational outdoor toy.

 • Steel frame construction is both sturdy and lightweight.

 • Compared to the other brands on the market, the Bikee is a real value at just $79.99.
