(openPR) - Building on the worldwide success of the original Strider bike (over 250,000 Sold to Date), the new Yamaha-licensed Strider balance bike enables children as young as 18 months to begin their two-wheeled adventures.

If your toddler can walk, the Yamaha-licensed Strider will get your toddler cruising over dirt, grass, and pavement with ease. The bike is mechanically the same as a standard Strider, but is customized with the official Yamaha and GYTR stickers along with Yamaha #1 number plate.

Designed to be steady, stable, and safe, the Yamaha-licensed Strider bike is perfect for children aged 18 months to five years. The Strider weighs just 6.9 pounds, is easy to control, and features an adjustable seat and handlebars to accommodate a growing child. Most importantly, the Strider bike teaches your child balance, coordination, and develops a glittering confidence not seen with tricycles or training wheel bikes.

“When I was in grade school, my dad owned a Yamaha dealership, so I grew up riding Yamaha dirt bikes,” said Ryan McFarland, founder of Strider Sports International. “I’ve enjoyed countless adventures on various Yamahas over the years, so our new Yamaha Strider is a really fun addition to our product line. I’m hoping it inspires a whole new generation of little two-wheeled adventurers!”
