Which age group can ride a LIKEaBIKE?
The LIKEaBIKE is designed for children between 2 and 5 years.
But we have also seen 6 and 7 year olds who had incredible fun
with these smart vehicles.
What are the benefits for your child who learn to ride
a LIKEaBIKE?
LIKEaBIKE supports children to develop their motor skills
and sense of balance. This is achieved through a design and
technique which are precisely coordinated in line with the
motor skills and natural movement of the child. LIKEaBIKE
is perfectly suited for a young child's urge to be active
and is the perfect way to give your child a hugh boost of
confidence. As your child picks up the feeling of balance
very quickly the unconvenient training wheels become unnecessary
when it is time for a real bike.
What are the benefits for parents?
Most of all you can feel comfortable because your child will
feel comfortable and proud in riding the bike. The walk in
the park or at the beach becomes a pleasure for everyone.
To go jogging without a stroller now becomes a real possibility.
How does the LIKEaBIKE work?
When first trying to ride, kids play with their LIKEaBIKE
as they would with a hobbyhorse. They become familiar with
the saddle first carefully sitting on it. Soon they start
to walk with it, then run. In no time the little rider becomes
more confident, and by pushing off courageously with both
legs, picks up speed. If the LIKEaBIKE starts to tip, kids
instinctively regain their balance with their feet. Encouraged
by this sense of achievement and due to the lightweighting
vehicle, your child will handle its LIKEaBIKE with confidence
and security within a few days. The most important thing achieved
by these first attempts is that your child will have a feeling
of independence and of being able to ride entirely on its
own right from the beginning.
How much does a LIKEaBIKE weigh?
It depends on the family member you choose:
LIKEaBIKE Forest: 8.0 pounds
LIKEaBIKE Mountain: 7.4 pounds
LIKEaBIKE Spoky: 6.6 pounds
Where do LIKEaBIKEs come from?
The LIKEaBIKE is quality engineered and crafted in Germany.
This practical little toy was initially developed in 1997
by renowned product designer Rolf Mertens for his own children.
The LIKEaBIKE is indeed unique. It is in a category of toy
vehicles all by itself.
Can the seat be adjusted in height?
The seat pole can be adjusted in height in 5 increments from
13 to 17 inches. A seat pole extension for taller children
is also available.
Does the LIKEaBIKE come with a warranty?
Yes, there is a two-year warranty on every LIKEaBIKE.
Is any assembly necessary?
Wooden LIKEaBIKE: The handlebar has to be mounted on the fork. Two screws and the appropriate
allen key come with the shipment. Tires might need to be inflated,
too. A pump can be delivered on request.
LIKEaBIKE Jumper: You have to assemble 4 pieces to the
frame: the handlebar, the seat and the 2 tires. The handlebar
has to be fastend with the handlebar clamp. The seat needs to
be pushed and adjusted into the seat-tube (fastend with
quick-release lever). Insert the wheels into the front and
rear forks and tighten the wheel nuts securely. The Jumper
comes with a soft elastomer, which smoothens the suspension
for riders below 30 lbs. Kids above 30 lbs. shall ride the
Jumper with the harder elastomer which is enclosed as well.
For more details you may use the mounting instructions
enclosed with the delivery.
How does your your return policy work?
If you are not happy with your LIKEaBIKE, you may return it
within 7 days. You will receive your money back (minus
shipping cost).
