Power Tricycle 86.5×43×64 cm | Yellow Kids Trike for Playgrounds

A tricycle is where most children first experience propelling themselves. Because three wheels stand up on their own, the child has only one problem to solve — turning the pedals — instead of pedalling and balancing simultaneously.

Removing the balance problem means success is immediate, and immediate success is what gets a hesitant child to try again tomorrow.

Pedalling itself is worth more than it looks. It is a reciprocal movement, left then right in a continuous cycle, which is the same pattern used in walking and running and which some children need practice to coordinate smoothly. A trike gives that practice in a form no child treats as exercise.

Nursery use is harder on a trike than home use — twenty children a day rather than one, and no one is careful. At 86.5 × 43 × 64 cm this is built to institutional proportions, with a wide wheelbase that resists tipping on a turn taken at speed, which they always are.

• Three wheels: no balancing, so children pedal on the first attempt
• Reciprocal pedalling supports the walking and running pattern
• Wide wheelbase resists tipping on fast turns
• 86.5 × 43 × 64 cm, built for playground rather than home duty
• Recommended ages 3–6

Pairs with the outdoor trike charging station. For nursery playgrounds and KG outdoor areas.
