People are astonished when they discover that a two wheel bicycle exists for toddlers as young as two years old. Here it is: The LikeaBike "Mini". A "balance bike" (or "run bike") designed for children between the ages of two and five. This LikeaBike is especially attractive because of the shape of it's frame. Instead of a bullet shape, it takes a more graceful "swoosh" shape to make it easier for little feet to reach the floor. Using the same outstanding attention to detail and quality materials, the Mini is a bike for the two year old who already has everything.Some notable features of the LikeaBike Mini, common to most other LikeaBikes as well:
- Frame built from two CNC shaped pieces of 10mm thick baltic birch veneer core plywood (9 plies)
- Fork built from a solid piece of CNC shaped 19mm baltic birch veneer core plywood (15 plies)
- Inflatable 12" rubber tires by Rubena (made in Czech Republic) with Schrader valved inner tubes
- Wheels built from solid disks of 15mm baltic birch veneer core plywood (11 plies), with an aluminum bike rim permanently bonded to the perimeter.
- Removable and washable padded cloth seat cover (red or blue standard, other colors, including leather are offered separately)
- Seat height adjustable to four different positions (11" to 14") for fast growing toddlers
- Limited steering range for extra safety (what happens when front wheel turns too far? Bad things! Ouch.)
- Impact proof rubber hand grips (is Junior dropping the bike onto it's side? No worries!)
- Suitable for use indoors and outdoors (tires will not mark your floors)
- Handcrafted in Germany
Shipped fully assembled except for handlebar, which is applied with two simple screws - Compatible with the optional LikeaBike Hopper handlebar basket and the LikeaBike trailer wagon
- Overall dimensions: 14" wide x 21" high x 32" long
The bike pictured has a special optional attachment under the mud guard- a quick release device designed to attach the LikeaBike wagon trailer (sold separately)
The seat height is adjustable by way of two allen thru-bolts. The seat cover is removable and washable. Velcro keeps it in place.
The clear satin finished baltic birch frame and wheels match each other perfectly.
Notice the reinforcement of the fork tips using high grade steel bolts? The fork is pinned to the frame and little fingers are protected with two bands of felt.
The "floor saver" rubber grips not only protect your hardwoods and linoleum, they protect the bike too!
Close up look at the wheels and tires, which will not harm the floors of your home. Possibly the only Christmas gift bike which can be safely enjoyed indoors!
No cheap Far Eastern parts here.. This is a European Classic.
