Parents were over the moon with this beautifully designed, ingeniously crafted balance bike from Wishbone Design Studio. They raved about the quality and the fact that it is made with recycled materials (bottles & carpet!), but it is also, and most importantly, a great riding experience for a wide age range of new riders. They even went on and on at length about the great box that the Wishbone Bike comes in. The bike itself is easy to assemble, and it is instantly apparent that there are three ways to put it together, depending on your childs skill level and size. Moving the seat up and down for different heights is simple to do. Riding it is a blast and also surprisingly easy to use on different surfaces. It is a little bigger than other bikes in this class, but if you have the room, its a bike you will want to keep in the back of the car for quick adventures. The design is also quite intuitive; it’s obvious Wishbone did their homework here. For instance, you dont have to hold on to lots of extra pieces to convert it to different sizes. Among all the terrific aspects of this bike, the one that stood out and was in just about every single review was the fact that your child (or children) can use this bike for several years, given the expansion opportunities it offers. This helped make the steep price of just under $300 worth it in our testers’ minds.
