BugaBike.. Now this looks like fun!

I can still remember my first bike and when I learned to ride by myself. I was five years old. We lived in Oklahoma city then and I remember getting on my bike with no training wheels and pedaling as fast as I could as to not tip over. All I was going was across the street to our neighbors house who happened to also be our babysitter. I can still remember my little sister who was four saying "mana you gonna fwallllllll"
When a child learns to ride a bike all by themselves it's something they will never forget. They are so proud of themselves for achieving such a huge milestone.
Now that my oldest daughter is five she tries so hard to ride her bike and gets so upset every time she falls over. It would be much easier for her if she could balance first before trying to pedal.
Bugabike was designed for young children just learning to balance. Up till now I had never even seen one much less heard of one. In Europe they are fairly common but here in the US its a new concept.
The idea is that before a child can use a petal bike they can learn to use a balance bike. A balance bike is basically a scaled down bike with no petals, the child can use the bike much like they would use a ride on but with the exception of the pedaling the Bugabike functions like a regular bike. The idea is that they learn balance and control of the bike so that when they are ready for a petal bike the transition is easy and there is no need for training wheels.
The Bugabike's body is made of birch poly wood, it sports pneumatic tires (just like a real bike) and rubber hand grips, and all of the fittings are high grade steel. No detail was spared. It comes mostly assembled all you have is install the front piece so it takes just a few minutes at most to get it ready to go. For an all wood toy the Bugabike is very light, around 8lbs, and very compact so it will easily fit anywhere so you can take it on all of your family outings with no problems. The tires on the Bugabike are great as the Bugabike will truly go anywhere from inside to outside to pretty much any terrain you can throw at it. The entire bike is warrantied for three years.
I am very interested in learning even more about this new bike and hubby and I are talking about getting one for Sam possibly for Christmas.
The Bugabike is available on Amazon and comes in quite a few color choices and two choices of spokes. Visit Bugabike's official website to see all the color options at once as well as learn more about the Bugabike! I also want to let you know that Bugabike is made by Sabamba.

Would be nice for my new grandson when he is able to ride one.
Thank you for letting me know by email about this cute bike.
