Why Runners-Bike?
Our little guys, Linus and Finni, used one of the
expensive wooden bikes (price around 300 CAD) and one of
the cheaper wooden bike around 90 CAD for 1 year. To be
honest with you the expensive ones are made in a good
quality but we find that a wooden bike made in a good
quality shouldn’t be so pricey!
The cheaper bikes, mostly
made with rubber tires, are not very comfortable and not
so secure: Using rubber tires is not a good choice
because you feel each stone under you and on the long
run your little ones lower back is in danger!
So that’s why we
created Runners-Bike: a secure, good quality wooden bike
with an awesome design for a reasonable price. Smart
features are the cool bell and the easy to clean saddle. |

1. How do use your Runners-Bike?
It is amazingly easy. Using Runners kids first walk
the bike forward. As they go faster they stride with
feet off the ground for longer and longer periods of
time, ultimately being able to pull both feet off
the ground and coast. At first they tilt to one side
or the other and their feet catch them like training
wheels or a tripod would. Very quickly balance
becomes second nature and they can coast for yards
with their feet off the ground. Braking is done in
very natural style: just put your feet down and
stop.
2. How long does it take to learn?
Our children were able to walk/ride the first time
they sat down. They were able to coast with their
feet up after a week or two. Learning curves are
different for different children.
3. How old does a child have to be to ride
Runners?
The sweet little racer is designed for children ages
2- 5.
4. Is there assembly required?
Runners comes partially assembled, you will only
need to attach the wheels and handlebars, which
should not take more than 10 minutes. Instructions
and tools are provided.
5. Is the seat adjustable?
The seat is easily adjustable so children of all
sizes can ride Runners-Bike. Also ask us for the
seat extension!
6. How much does Runners-Bike weigh?
The bike weighs about 10 lbs, and is well
distributed, so it is easy to carry when your
toddler tires out.
7. How high up is the seat?
The adjustable seat ranges from just over 13.5
inches to 16.5 inches high, fitting most 2-5 year
olds. We also sell a seat extension.
8. What are the tires made of?
The tires are pneumatic rubber. They can tolerate up
to 40PSI, but we suggest 20-25 PSI for best shock
absorption.
9. When
I place my order, when will it ship and how long
will it take to receive it?
Your order will be processed and shipped from
Edmonton, Canada within two (2) business days from
the order date that shows on your order confirmation
email. When your order ships, you will receive a
Canada Post tracking number via email. Actual
delivery time may take additional 3-10 business
days, depending upon your location. Please call us
for express delivery!
10. This
gift is for a Birthday or Christmas, will my child
know what is inside?
Runners-Bike box ships with the picture of the bike
on the outside, so if your order is a gift or a
surprise, you may want to have it shipped to an
alternate address.
11. Do I
have do some maintenance?
-
Like all
ride-on toys, Runners requires some ongoing
maintenance. Bolts may loosen from movement and
vibration, so make sure to check them for
tightness before each ride.
-
Do not leave
or store the Runners outside for long periods of
time. Though it is protected by a lacquer veneer
coating, it is still made of wood, and is
susceptible to warping, rotting, etc from too
much exposure to the elements.
