ybike :: original and pewi

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…

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.

We are true believers of this! We have first hand experience. Our Lili, who is now 5, didn’t use training wheels at all when she was learning. She went straight from a very generic glider bike to her two-wheeled bike. And I believe that is SOLELY from being able to have the confidence and know the difference of whether or not she was going down or just losing her balance. Wish we had a yBike for her then!! 🙂

With the help of this yBike original, my husband says our 2-year old will be riding a two-wheeler by the end of the summer. We shall see… 🙂

Now, when we are inside playing, Adalylnn jumps on her “guy”. She calls the little yBike pewi “guy”. Pretty funny! If you use your imagination and look at the front handlebars of this ride on, you too will see a “guy”! 🙂

This ride on toy is not like others. There is so much mobility on this it’s pretty fun to watch! It goes front and back and side to side with much ease. Adalynn just goes flying through our kitchen and living room with a squeal the whole time and a big smile on her face! Don’t take my word for it, just watch this, they do a MUCH better job explaining that I would do:
