LIKEaBIKE

Popular for over a decade in Germany, the unique LIKEaBIKE is now available in the U.S. The LIKEaBIKE is a two-wheel "run bike" that helps children between the ages of two and five develop motor skills and sense of balance. LIKEaBIKE offers parents a fun alternative to traditional training wheel bikes or four-wheel foot-powered push toys that may impede a child's sense of equilibrium.

The LIKEaBIKE design is based on a walking machine concept that dates back to 1817, when Baron von Drais created a mountable frame with two same-size, in-line wheels that was propelled by pushing your feet against the ground. In 1997, German designer Rolf Mertens developed the first LIKEaBIKE prototype for his own children. Today, the LIKEaBIKE is manufactured and assembled in Germany by KOKUA and is distributed on all five continents. After purchasing a LIKEaBIKE for their son, a pair of very impressed New Yorkers sought to import the toy in the United States, and LIKEaBIKE_USA was born.

LIKEaBIKE's child-friendly "run bike" design allows children to acquire a sense of balance while having great fun riding like a "big kid." As early as two years old, children can have their first experience of riding on two wheels with the LIKEaBIKE. As the child becomes more confident and gains skill in balancing, she will likely push off and coast for an exhilarating ride. When it's time to graduate to a pedal-operated bicycle, kids who have mastered the LIKEaBIKE typically adapt easily without the need for training wheels.

All wooden LIKEaBIKE models feature rubber tires, an adjustable seat, and lightweight design (most are approximately 8 pounds). The LIKEaBIKE Mountain is the most popular LIKEaBIKE model, made of beautiful and renewable birch wood and available in five different seat color options. The LIKEaBIKE Forest is a similarly popular model that comes with a green cotton seat and mudguard and is constructed of strong, laminated beech wood, which is darker and harder than birch. The new LIKEaBIKE Jumper has a sleek aluminum frame for a true "big kid bike" look.

Various LIKEaBIKE accessories are available to add a personal touch to your child's new ride, such as the Leather Satchel, Kickstand, and the Frog Light.

The LIKEaBIKE is an innovative toy vehicle in a category all by itself. With superior craftsmanship and sturdy design, the LIKEaBIKE can be handed down to younger siblings for years of fun developmental play.
