BTWIN Runride 500 Kid's Balance Bike 10"

Our 10"" balance bike is designed for children aged 2 to 4½ years (85 cm-105 cm). #### HOW DO BALANCE BIKES HELP WITH KIDS' PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT? Moving, learning and playing are essential parts of a child's development.With their balance bike, kids will learn balance, spatial awareness and coordination skills, while immersing themselves in imaginary worlds. #### OUR N°1 CHOICE: EASY LEARNING Each part has been specifically designed by our Btwin team. The low frame makes it easy for kids to get on and off their bike and deal with obstacles (pavements, hills). The footrests encourage them to lift their feet off the ground and experiment with balancing. The position of the footrests prepares them to put their feet in the right place on a real bike. Last but not least, the saddle curves up at the back to help kids sit in a position from which they can propel themselves efficiently. #### IS THERE SOMETHING TO STOP THE HANDLEBARS TURNING? We've chosen to let the handlebar rotate a really long way so that kids can manoeuvre at a much wider range of angles. However, the shape of the frame stops the wheel from coming far enough round for the handlebars to end up back to front. Kids are given free rein to practise their steering while remaining safe. #### A FUN DESIGN To please both kids and parents, this bike comes in several colours, with a range of inspiring urban and sporty styles. Have you noticed the symbols on the frame? They're different on each model and are sure to catch the eye of budding explorers. We know that, at this age, details really matter! #### LIGHT AS A FEATHER Our Runride 500 balance bike weighs 3.4 kg. It weighs more than the Runride 100 model because of the brake and the bearings in the wheels. #### 10"" WHEELS The wheels are 10"", with plastic rims and solid EVA foam hybrid tyres. #### WHY IS THE BEARING QUALITY IMPORTANT? The principle of the balance bike is for kids to propel themselves along and use this motion to learn to balance. The bearing quality is important as it's what allows kids to pick up enough momentum to lift their feet and find their balance.Our 500 model really stands out from other models in the same class. The wheels are equipped with ball bearings, which are recognised as being more efficient. #### ADJUSTMENT RANGE: A DETAIL THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE We've done everything we can to make this balance bike fit your child for as long as possible by giving it a saddle that adjusts in height by 11 cm. Minimum saddle height: 30.2 cm. Maximum saddle height: 41.2 cm. When kids are just starting out, the saddle should be at crotch height so that they can place their feet flat on the floor. The handlebar can also be adjusted by 8 cm. Min. handlebar height: 43.5 cm. Max. handlebar height: 51.5 cm #### TECHNICAL SPECS Frame: steel. Handlebar: steel, 390 mm long, 19 mm across.

All our balance bikes are tested in the lab. These tests confirm that they comply with the EN-71 safety standard for toys, as well as checking the product's durability and braking power. We also perform field tests to assure ourselves that the product meets users' needs and stands up to real conditions from the point of view of both kids and parents! #### WHAT'S IN THE BOX? The box contains the dismantled bike (wheels, frame and saddle) and the tools needed to assemble it.Don't worry, we've included instructions on how to put it together. Your budding young rider will have a bike that's been lovingly assembled and adjusted to the right height. #### HOW TO RIDE SAFELY Toys should not be used on public roads. When learning to cycle, kids should stay on the pavement. And for safety reasons, protective equipment (helmet and pads) is strongly recommended.
