December 14, 2008 Dutch designer Neils Smeltink's clever
multifunctional bike design can adapt to the needs of children
as they become older by easily transforming from a bicycle to a
scooter or a walking bike. Younger children will love to use it
as a walking bike or scooter while older children can use it as
a real bike. The "Kid Balance" is great as a walking bike for
younger children and will teach important motor skills such as
balance, coordination and how to project themselves forward.
Once they become confident, you simply add on a crank axle and
you have a bicycle with pedals. The conversion from scooter is
just as simple, you pull the handle and the scooter becomes a
walking bike. See more of Smeltnick’s interesting designs here.
