That bicycle balancing is a simple no-two-ways-about-it matter will be obvious to anyone who knows a little physics (see explanation further below). Even if you do not know physics or what centripetal force is, you will be able to get a general feel for how bike balancing works. My kids love the bugabike. We test the bugabike its working.

Riding a bugabike is incredible fun for kids! As early as two years old, children can fulfill their urge to be active with this walking bike and have their first experience of riding on two wheels. A bugabike has no pedals. When first trying to ride, kids play with their bugabike as they would with a hobbyhorse. A beautiful form with incredibly fun function!

It's much more forgiving - with no pinching and cold metal. We use it inside and out. I lvoe it and we expect to use it for our daughter and also our neighbor's daughter. After that we hope to pass it on. I highly recommend it. We purchased this for our daughter. It’s much more forgiving – with no pinching and cold metal. We use it inside and out.

If you have money to burn or get it to show off that your financially irresponsible- go for it. ...personally if I could so easily part with $200-$300, it would be much better spent on a charity, i.e.: local homeless shelter Goodwill, cancer, diabetes, arthritis research etc. I agree with Zuvembi and add: this is o total rip-off.

While it was an expensive gift, most of the relatives went in on it together, to reduce the individual cost. Its been a big winner - Conor uses it all the time, inside and out. One of the, sadly few, toys that were worth the cost. We have one of these for our son. While it was an expensive gift, most of the relatives went in on it together, to reduce the individual cost.
