We bought Lucas the Skuut bike. This is a "pedal-less" bike.
The Skuut is a wooden bike for children ages 2 - 5. It has no pedals and no training wheels. Children kick off the ground as if running, thus pushing or "skuut-ing" themselves and the bike forward. The Skuut is perfect for learning balance, steering, coordination and independence. Having mastered balance on the Skuut, the transition to a traditional two wheeler bike is easy.
We took him out in a grassy area in the Presidio to try it out for the first time. We thought the bike would be too high for him but it turns out he can reach the ground with his foot.
We put him on it and he liked it! He was smiling and enjoying himself until he fell, then he was done. We'll try it again soon.
Here's a video of him on his Skuut bike.
