## Description

The Mini Glider from Glide Bikes allows children 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! Pushing off with alternating feet as if the child were running from a seated position, the child can learn balance and control. Once the child becomes more stable they begin to glide with their feet off the ground. As your child develops balance and begins gliding, they can place their feet on the foot pegs and get accustomed to the natural foot position present on a traditional bicycle. Another important aspect of learning to ride with a Glide Bikes balance bike is how they help build a child's confidence. The problem with bikes that depend on training wheels is the lack of control and stability and the higher probability of tip-overs. This makes the child more prone to injuries and takes the fun out of riding a bike. With the Mini 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. These are all very important features built into our bikes to make your child's experience a safe and fun one!

    Seat is low but handlebars are high
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2010*

We bought two of these, one for our 3.5 year old and one for our 2 year old. Our 3.5 year old has been fine and has enjoyed it. But the handlebars are too high for our 2 year old. The handlebars do not adjust. In the photo, the seat is raised up very high. In reality for a 2 or 3 year old, the seat is much lower and the handlebars end up too high. We would have been better off with a Strider because the handlebars are low and also flat instead of curved.So far, our 3.5 year old hasn't used the foot rest at all. I think it's easier for him to balance with his knees bent and feet dangling vs. putting his feet on the foot rest.  The hand brake is also hard to operate without good grip strength. When I picked this bike over the Strider I thought the footrest and the handbrake would be added value but in reality they have not been used.If your child is small and has short arms I wouldn't get this bike due to the high handlebars!

    Great purchase, wish I had got one a year ago !
  

*by D***0 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2009*

I have 2 boys, and gave the mini glider to the oldest for his 5th birthday. My youngest boy just turned 3 yrs old.  I did a lot of research and finally purchased the mini glider at Amazon.  Extremely fast delivery and quick and easy to assemble.  I didn't want to spend $99 for a kids bike, but now I wish I had purchased it over a year ago.  We tried removing pedals from old bikes, but they're all too heavy and not enough adjustment for height differences.  My 5 yr old son learned how to balance on the mini glider within an hour.  Within 2 hrs, he was riding down hills with his feet on the pegs. Within a day, he had built up his confidence to move from the paved area to riding down steep hills in the back yard.  The bike was so light he was able to walk it back up the hill and glide back down many times.  My 3 yr old learned how to move around and started lifting his feet within an hour.  I was totally amazed at how he progressed the first day.  At the end of the second day, he was riding 200 to 300 ft down hills with his feet on the pegs while going around curves.  He has also learned to stand up on the pegs trying to do tricks.  The bike is so light, he can pick it up and spin it around without much effort.  He thinks he is doing wheelies by pulling the front tire off the ground.  Both kids love the bike and argue over who gets to ride.  They have given it the nickname "zoom-zoom". They even ride it in the house on carpet and hard wood floors (make sure you clean all the rocks off that gets stuck in the tires).My bike did not come with a kick stand as shown on one of the photos, but it is not really needed and could just get in the way.The tires do not grip as well as typical tires, but not having to worry about inflating them compensates for this problem.Great design overall and does an excellent job teaching balance and building confidence.  Much better than training wheels !!

    Disappointed
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2014*

I purchased this as an upgrade to my 2 1/2 year old grandson's Strider. The foot pegs, kickstand, and hand brake all seemed like good ideas. The pegs to encourage foot off the ground coasting. The brake to learn braking and for safety on downhills. The kickstand for parking the bike. Unfortunately, most of these features were either not really useful, or were poorly manufactured or assembled. The brake barely works, and is very hard to adjust; nd of dubious value. The kickstand is difficult for a 2.5 year old to operate and unstable. The foot peg extension is too short and not adjustable. Also the headset assembly was lose and wobbly; the velcro on the nylon bar cover was coming off; the cover itself was frayed. While the Strider has fewer features, in my opinion, it is a sturdier product, and at the same price or less than the Mini Glider, a much better choice. Please note - I'm just a grandpa trying to help other grandpa's and grandma's. I have not relationship with either Strider or Glider manufacturer.
