Chopper II Smart Balance Bike Review

The Chopper II balance bikes by Smart Gear, first and foremost helps a child develop the most important skills necessary to later ride a traditional bicycle with pedals: BALANCE and MOTOR SKILLS. Smart Gear Balance Bikes were designed to develop a child’s balance and coordination by simply allowing the child to sit and walk or run with the bike by pushing with their feet. If the bike starts to fall, kids instinctively regain their balance using their feet. Once they’ve gained some momentum and balance control they can lift their feet up as they feel comfortable and start cruising! Toddler bikes with “training wheels” don’t necessarily train or teach a child how to ride a bicycle. The training wheels are merely a crutch that give the child a false sense of security and merely keep the child busy or entertained rather than actually helping the child develop the necessary skills to ride a traditional bicycle. Smart Gear Balance Bikes are also suitable for children who need to be encouraged with motor skill development and therapeutic training. Smart Gear Balance Bikes are made from birch wood with real inflatable rubber tires, handle bar grips and a cushioned leatherette seat.
