the ‘zumzum‘ bike helps children aged as young as 18 months and up to four years old, develop strength, coordination and balance through a pedal-less bicycle where they learn to adjust their speed. made from wooden parts, it is certified to DIN EN71 safety of toys and is suitable for use everywhere; in parks, forests, at the beach and on gravel. this is possible thanks to its unique curved frame which not only looks stylish, modern and maintains a organic material feel, but also acts as a natural suspension.

weighing just 3.4kg, the ‘zumzum’ balance bike is one of the lightest on the market because it is made from plywood grown in sustainable birch forests. the 10-12 inch wheels – the only non-wooden parts – are manufactured from aluminum to continue the construction’s lightweight, and features non-marking rubber tires to ensure friendly indoor use. also available with an attachable bag for snacks and toys, the kids equity two-wheeler is seeking support via its kickstarter campaign.
