THERE IS ONLY ONE FirstBIKE!
FIRST SENSE OF BALANCE
FIRST SENSE OF FUN
FIRST SENSE OF ADVENTURE
THE FirstBIKE STORY ONE MAN, ONE MISSION; TWO WHEELS Ralf Coerschulte, an avid German cyclist, product designer, and father, developed FirstBIKE with one goal: to build the best balance bike for younger children, allowing them to learn to ride a bike intuitively and without stress. After years of fine-tuning and testing, he succeeded in creating a unique product that is deemed to be the safest in its category in terms of supporting a child’s physical development. FirstBIKE has also proven to be a great helper when it comes to the development of a child’s self-confidence, and enjoyment of learning.
“A diligent effort to amalgamate a lightweight frame, functionality, durability, safety and visual allure with a competitive price point has been realized with the FirstBIKE. We all know that technological development with products is rapidly changing. The developers of the FirstBIKE are what I see as one of the leading pioneers in the future of that development.” The Toy Man® Evaluation Report Summary 3
