PV Go Gliders are back in stock and now shipping!
Pv Glider for bigger kids...Introducing the new 16" wheel glider balance bike.
Designed for kids aged 6 to 9 years old who have an inseam of at least
20". Also great for kids with learning disabilities.
When it
comes to balance bikes there is no comparison to the "Go" Glider's
quality and engineering. Our product, unmatched by other designs,
includes:
- High quality ball bearing headset for smoother steering and longer life.
- Adjustable BMX style handlebars for a more upright ergonomic seating position that grows with your child.
- Alloy quick release seat clamp for tool-less seat adjustments.
- Engineered ergonomic seat to ensure ride comfort and proper posture.
- Air-free EVA foam tires -- say goodbye to flats and pumping up tires!
Without
question this is a very high quality product that will last. Designed
in the USA after our handmade PV Glider, made more affordable overseas
out of High Quality Alloy, the MiniGlider weighs only 8lbs. Finished
off in durable colorful metallic paint the MiniGlider will have your
jaw drop as your child rides with confidence.
Adjustable seat height
enables the parent to adjust the seat so that the child
can put both feet flat on the ground. Allowing your child
to walk along while seated on the bike, then lifting one
foot up on a peg, then placing both feet on the pegs and
gliding. Children feel confident because they can place
a foot down when or if needed, this allows them to relax
and have fun as they master balancing.
Adjustable handlebar height allows a custom
fit for children between 2 - 9 years old. Children will get
many years of enjoyment because the Glider is designed to
grow with them.
Slack head angle Designed around downhill
mountain bike Properties. Allowing a slower speed balance
point of around 1.5 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.
No pedals - Pedals can make it very difficult
for a child to learn how to balance because they can't get
their feet off the pedals and on the ground quickly enough
and they fall over. It is difficult enough for a child to
learn to balance when you also have pedaling and braking
to learn at the same time. A set of pedals and chain alone
can weigh as much as the Glider!
Foot pegs - Other designs leave them out.
We think that's crazy. A child needs pegs to rest their
feet while gliding.
Lightweight and strong - The
Glider is made out of rustproof 6061 Alloy so it is light
and durable and designed to last for years. There's nothing
to rust, not even a chain. Left out in the rain? No problem!
Steering Limit. After extensive testing
we included this feature. The steering limit or prevents
the child from being hit in the chest or head. This feature
also prevent the brake cable from becoming twisted. The
Glider steering limiter
does not prevent
a full turning radius nor does it hinder a child from graduating
to a traditional bicycle.
Sizing: Most kids pants size can be used
as a general guide. For example size 2T-5 will fit the Mini
Glider. For the Go Glider Size 5-10 will be the range. If
your child has just started wearing size 5 and has an inseam
of 19" or less the Mini Glider will fit best. Your child's
inseam should be a minimum of 12" to fit the Mini Glider
12" model.
