START THEM OUT YOUNG
STACYC electric balance bikes kickstart a new generation of riders aged from three years old . Available in 12eDrive and 16eDrive versions , they require little experience on a balance bike ; the STACYC has a mid-drive motor for centralised mass and easier balance . Kids can get a feel for the bike in the nonpowered mode , graduating to powered mode as their skills progress . The medium speed allows exceptional fun outdoors , improving hand-eye coordination , balance and exercise . Bikes come with a quick connect / disconnect lithium-ion battery and charger , with a 30-60min run time .
