The Story of the PV Glider
The PV GLIDER and now the new MiniGlider provides young children, eighteen months to seven years old, a safe and fun way to both enjoy bicycling and learn how to balance.
Many parents report that the PV GLIDER exceeded their expectations in enabling their children to ride and balance upon two wheels with confidence. Most children prefer the ease of maneuvering, control and smooth action of the PV GLIDER to the traditional bicycle.
Designed by a Dad: A father who is also an avid cyclist designed the PV GLIDER. When the designer's children were eighteen months and three years old he decided to develop a lightweight, safe bicycle alternative that would help his children learn to balance on two wheels without bruises and training wheels. Both children were quickly gliding effortlessly. His son was riding a traditional bicycle by age two without the help of training wheels and his daughter was not too far behind! As the family traveled with the PV GLIDERS in tow, many parents along the way asked for Gliders for their own children. It is from this interest and demand that the PV GLIDER is now offered to the public.
Conventional children's bicycles and learning methods rely on both steel frames and training wheels. This method places children in an unsteady and threatening position. The PV GLIDER is made of a lightweight material, combining a lower center of gravity and seat height with a relaxed steering angle and hand brake for easier control. This design allows children to build both their confidence and skill simultaneously. A child starts by walking and pushing while seated, trusting his/her own abilities while quickly graduating to gliding on two wheels.
