Glide Bikes Go Glider for bigger kids. With an adjustable seat height of 17 to 25, this Red Go Glider by Glide Bikes is perfect for kids aged 6 to 9 years old who have an inseam of at least 18".
Glide Bikes are designed around downhill mountain bike Properties. Allowing a slower speed balance point of around 2 MPH. Other designs don't start to balance until much faster speeds. This slower more stable design gives kids a longer chance to archive balance before the Glider topples over. This also places the front wheel further in front of the handlebar, making the bike easier to steer and more importantly, making it nearly impossible for your child to go over the handlebars. This design places their weight further back over the rear wheel and their center of balance back and lower. The child feels safe in this position allowing them to confidently explore their balance. When in doubt, the child simply stands up. In our research the number one reason for kids not learning to ride a two wheeler is either a bad fall or the fear of falling. The Glider takes the fear out of learning to balance and is just plain fun.
Glide Bikes also incorporates a unique foot peg system to allow kids to have a place to rest their feet while gliding. These pegs can be locked into place with one simple to use, tool-free pin allowing the foot pegs to be installed or removed in seconds. This Feature helps some of our smallest riders and special needs kids to focus on gliding and balancing. As your child develops balance and begins gliding, they can place their feet on the foot pegs and get accustomed to the natural foot position present on a traditional bicycle. If there is not a place to put feet its uncomfortable for kids to dangle their feet and they won't be able to ride for as long. It also helps save their shoes from getting scraped up.
