Glide Bikes balmodel, the Super Glider, is specifically designed for adults, as well as older children with special needs.
What Makes Glide Bikes Different?
In order to make bikes that are both fun and easy to ride, Glide Bikes incorporate special balance bike technology. This means that Glide Bikes balance bikes are low to the ground, which has several benefits. First, and most importantly, the rider has a low center of gravity, making it extremely ance bikes are designed to include all age groups and skill levels, from two-year-olds to adults. In fact, the newest easy to balance.
All models of Glide Bikes include a patented slow speed geometry, which allows the balance bike to achieve balance at 2mph. And, since the pavement is only inches away from the riders feet, falls are easily preventable: the rider only has to drop both feet to stop, Flintstones style. Furthermore, Glide Bike learning bikes are extremely lightweight. So, in the event of a fall, your child will not be pinned beneath the bike.
Behind the Design
The key to the design of a Balance bike is enabling balance, Glide Bikes based their first glider prototype on the same geometry as a downhill  mountain bike, Glide Bikes Patented Slow speed geometry, which has a lower center of gravity to give the rider increased stability and a slower balancing speed. The first Glide Bike balance bike model was handmade out of PVC.
Since that first prototype learning bike, the company perfected the design, making minor adjustments to the steering angle and seat height, and in 2005 began to manufacture Glide Bikes by hand in Wilmington, NC.
All of these features come together to form the perfect balance bike. Children and parents alike will love the safe design of our Glide Bikes, which allows riders to simply place their feet down should they need to stop, or balance. Due to the low balancing speed and lightweight design of the balance bike, the child can easily control it without the assistance of a parent.
