This is another way to bridge the gap between tricycles and the balancing
art needed for real two wheel bicycles.
The Balancing Bike is straddled without pedals so that the rider's feet
are free to engage the terrain when balance is less than perfection.
The propulsion is "push and go" but also known as the "Flintstone" method.
The pneumatic tires are 12.5" with yellow plastic five spoked rims and ball bearings.
Kettler makes a lot of different two wheel bikes, one of which is an excellent
training bike that is both well constructed and fully equipped.
The Kettler Bingo 12 bike has a 1-5/16"
steel frame rated for
100 lb. with a super four layer red epoxy powder coat. Complete
with coaster and front caliper brakes, yellow handlebar pad, bell, red and black
seat and yellow handgrips.
The tires are 12½" pneumatic with full blue fenders, fully
enclosed chain and a red metal luggage rack. Removeable training wheels
are bright red with a rubber vinyl tread. For ages 3 to 5.

You don't have to be a fuzzy red PBS character named "Po"
with an onboard telly to ride the
smallest Kettler Scooter Thunder.
The scooter formerly known as Cub or Skiddy has a new design.
Eight knob adjustable handlebar heights
fit little riders down to only 18 months and up to
about age six and 75 lb. max.
Dual 5" diameter foam-cored tires in the back help train the balance
skills with gentle upright support
and yet retain the ability to lean over for turns.
A bigger 9¼" vinyl rubber over plastic front wheel rides over uneven
pavement better than formerly trendy
skate wheel scooters.
Limited turning radius helps the novice rider avoid ungraceful high side dismounts.
