The client was however very interested in some of the initial concepts that we created, popular among which were the ideas of moving parts & the concept of motion. We thought, how can we take the essence of what intrigues children about space (sense of adventure and the unknown) and apply those principles to motion. As a next step, we developed new concepts that focused on these aspects. While children (3-6 Yrs.) were our main target audience, we took parents and grand parents into consideration for this research as they act as decision makers in the purchase of toys.
At this stage we looked at different forms of motion that we could include in our concept. However, we got too carried away with the idea of moving parts and forgot about our primary user. We narrowed down on concepts that focused on exploring and interacting with the final frontier. We believed that Space as a theme dynacraft bike for ride-on toys would be perfect as it challenged childrens’ exploratory minds. It also helped that the new Star Wars movie was coming out in theaters at around the time the product would be ready to be shipped. This 24V single seat ride-on consists of undulating parts that make the child feel like the car is alive.
Most big-box store bikes have a very short wheelbase (distance between the wheels), which forces the child to sit up higher on the bike and raises the rider’s center-of-gravity. All in all, however, adult-centric brands focus on delivering killer adult bikes for a wide range of cycling styles, but their main focus has never been kids bikes. As a result, their bikes tend to be heavier and don’t offer the same quality and performance for the price as the kid-specific brands. Young explorers conquer new terrain in the Dynacraft 24 Volt UTV Electric Ride-On.
Retrospec bikes, however, have kid-friendly frames with longer wheelbases that help to lower the child’s center of gravity on the bike, making the bike easier to ride. We have tested many “cheap kids bikes” over the years, and were surprised and impressed at the performance and quality of the Retrospec Koda 2 Plus kids bikes. With such a low price point, they should absolutely be on the list for price-conscious parents. Quality kids bikes aren’t cheap, but they are a great investment. Decreasing the weight on a child’s bike is a priority for well-designed bikes, so higher-end kids bike companies proudly display their bikes’ weights.
Some cheap big-box-store bikes are similar in weight to higher-end bikes, but only because their wheelbases are narrower (they have a smaller frame) and they lack components such as hand brakes. Like other high-end bikes on this list, Frog bikes have kid-focused geometry, lightweight frames, and narrow q-factors. What makes Frog Bikes stand out from the rest really is their color options. If your kid just has to have an orange bike, purple bike, or oven a polka dotted bike, Frog probably has a color your child will love. They consistently have seven or more colors to choose from.
This ATV-inspired ride-on features a rugged frame with full suspension and a roll cage, keeping kids safe while they explore at adventurous speeds up to 5 miles per hour. Working LED headlights and a horn add to the authenticity while adjustable seat belts teach little drivers to buckle up. An MP3 input lets children listen to their favorite tunes while they cruise alone or with a friend in the passenger seat.
