Riding Along This Summer With the PlasmaBike

Once the weather warms up we're immediately outside spending as much time as we can in the sunshine before another summer passes us by and we're stuck inside watching the snowflakes fall. My son just turned 3 at the beginning of this past spring and that means we've done a lot of riding around on ride on toys, bikes and scooters. A really cute toy that is a lot of fun but can also help teach children how to balance properly to prepare them for riding a regular bike is the PlasmaBike.

The PlasmaBike has no pedals and no regular wheels. There are two very thick plastic wheels and the bike itself weighs less than 8 pounds (Which is a great feature around here when my son decides he's had enough and I have to carry the bike back home). The child uses their feet to push the bike along, and it can easily glide down a small hill or the driveway. It's not difficult to balance the bike but it teaches children how to hold up their weight and ride. Children as young as about 18 months old can use this product.
This progressive approach to bike riding is just what my son needed to make sure he wouldn't be scared when hopping on his 'big boy bike'. The PlasmaBike is engineered in Europe and has an attractive and sleek design. You can visit www.plasmabike.com for more information.
