Electric Pocket Bikes: Micro G-Bike Review

My two-year-old rides his g-bike every day in the park - he is not any more coordinated than any other 2 year old but everyone is surprised to see small child on a bike.We also have friends with 2-year-old twins who ride it, love it -- they are in NY and get near-rock-star-treatment for their proficiency on it, they are also just 2 but there are 2 of them, so all the more fun to see. It took my son a couple days of pushing it, sitting on it, sort of moving it around rather than riding it. There are no pedals, they sit on it, and move their feet like they are running, then lift their feet for a coast. Having seen the twins on it, I knew he would love it once he got it, but I did have to take away (just temporarily!) his scooter so he would concentrate, and now he actually seems to prefer it. It is partly the fun of the bike, but also he likes attention he gets from everyone. I did lower the seat to make it easier for him to reach the ground. The handle bars and seat adjust higher and lower.Anyway, he now has a blast on it and it is definitely his favorite thing to ride, more fun even than mini micro scooter, made by same people.His favorite thing is to ride it down a slight incline -he runs a bit then coasts down the driveway, then repeat, repeat, repeat.At the park, he rides/drags it around and other kids take turns. The amazing thing is that when he is coasting on it, he is actually balancing on a 2 wheel bicycle (with pretty small wheels) and when it is time for him to ride a 2-wheel bicycle, I cannot see why it will be any problem for him at all.Cool toy, nice design.Also very light - when he gets tired, I can easily carry him and it - weighs about 3 pounds.
