How does the Velo Trike grow with my child?

It is a staged trike: younger children ride pushed and steered by an adult, then move to pedaling themselves as their legs reach the pedals. The seat and handle adjust between stages.

What age is the Velo Trike for?

It is aimed at toddlers and preschoolers, roughly the 1 to 3 year range, with the earliest stage for children who cannot yet pedal. Check that your child's legs reach the pedals before expecting independent riding.

Can it be used on grass or gravel?

It is best on pavement, sidewalks and other smooth surfaces. The plastic wheels and light frame make rough ground slow and bumpy.

Does it come with a parent handle?

Yes, the trike includes a parent handle for pushing and steering in the early stages. It is meant to be removed or folded away once the child rides alone.

How does it compare with a Radio Flyer or smarTrike?

All three are convertible trikes with parent handles. The Velo is lighter and simpler, while those rivals tend to offer more padding and sturdier wheels at a higher build level.
