— Though Radio Flyer is known for its line of wagons, two retailers that spoke with TDmonthly specifically cited Radio Flyer tricycles as winners in the ride-ons category.

The “Moto Kid” is made of 100 percent birch plywood and features quality construction with rubber tires and an aluminum cylinder. It assembles in minutes and includes an adjustable padded seat. The maximum capacity is 60 lbs.
— The bike “is very solid and can therefore easily be passed down to a younger brother or sister. The seat can be adjusted in four different heights, which ensures that the bike will grow with the child,” Oriana Chiandusso, head of graphic services at PLIM Cooperation AG, told TDmonthly. The two bends on the bike’s wooden frame, she added, make it “look even more like a motor bike!” Launch date: May 1, 2006.

When is a mountain bike not a mountain bike? When it’s a KtraK and can ride over snow, ice and sand. KtraK is a universal attachment for bikes of all sizes and shapes that turns the front wheel into a ski and the back wheel into a tank-treaded all-terrain propulsion unit. It’s extreme to look at, but familiar in execution: If someone can ride a bike, they can ride a KtraK. Requiring no tools to install if the bike has a quick release (or a multiwrench if not), it takes all of two minutes to set up, and you’re ready to rock the beach or boogie down a ski slope. Avid dirt bike racer Cal Douglas is looking at a KtraK: “It could be the next big thing, or just fun for us crazies.” An adult size ($400) is also available.

This pedal-less teaches children how to balance before learning to pedal. An adjustable seat allows the bike to grow as children do.
