The Go Glider from Glide Bikes is designed from the same concept and features as our popular 12″ Mini Glider, but in a larger size to accommodate riders from 5-10 years of age. The Go Glider allows children of all abilities to gain confidence, improve motor skills, increase coordination and learn balance at their own pace all while having fun. Balance Bikes do not have training wheels and pedals to get in the way, so children learn the important first step in riding a bike- BALANCE. Glide Bikes’ patented design incorporates a unique foot peg system to allow kids to have a place to rest their feet while gliding. These pegs can be locked into place with one simple to use, tool-free pin allowing the foot pegs to be installed or removed in seconds. With the Go Glider, riders have a lower center of gravity which increases stability similar to a sports car in comparison to a tall sport utility vehicle. We also design our bikes using downhill mountain bike geometry which also increases stability and allows for the lowest balance speed of 1.5 MPH. Unlike the heavy kid’s bikes with training wheels, we use high quality, lightweight materials so that children can lift the bike by themselves and avoid getting trapped underneath the bike if they do fall. The Go Glider also comes with 16″ air tires. These are all very important features built into our bikes to make your child’s experience a safe and Fun one.
