Strider Sports has developed a great way for kids to learn to ride a bike, and for this spring it introduced the Super 16 Scooter, built for ages six and up. It can even support riders up to 120 pounds so it is meant for bigger kids. The company even notes that it was created for “for those young riders who are ready to venture off trail or perform tricks and stunts that a heavier, more complicated pedal bike won’t allow.”
This model features padding on the handlebar in case of a crash and even a handbrake – meaning this is for kids who are almost ready to step to an actual BMX or mountain bike.
Strider Sports has made a name for itself with its 12-inch, no-pedal balance bikes for young riders. For those slightly larger kids the 12-inch wheels were a little on the small size, so the company has rolled out the new Strider Super 16, which features 16-inch wheels, larger footrests and even a caliper handbrake. The bike still lacks pedals as it is just a balance bike allowing kids to roll before the ride!
