Buddy Bike - sport model
The Buddy Bike is an inline tandem bicycle that places the
smaller rider in the front seat while the rear rider controls the
steering.
It is shorter in length than a standard tandem and has a lower
front seat so both riders can safely enjoy the view.
The Buddy Bike isn't just a children's tandem!
It can support up to 172 Kg's; making it the
ultimate family bike that can be enjoyed by riders of all ages and
abilities. Its features make it especially beneficial for special
needs children who otherwise would not be able to experience the
thrill of riding a bicycle. Utilizing this unique patented design
and quality bike parts, the Buddy Bike provides safety and REAL
quality time!
The Buddy Bike can be empowering for a child or adult with
special needs. Riding the same bike as the caregiver lessens the
skills and the number of steps necessary to successfully ride a
bike. The front rider has their own handlebars to feel like they
are steering without actually having control of the bike and they
can contribute to pedaling and propelling the bicycle forward.
The front rider is seated in the front seat which provides an
unobstructed view for maximum visual stimulation and tactile
stimulation in the form of wind on his/her face. The seats are
close enough for easy communication between the riders making it
easier to keep the person with a disability on task without lagging
behind, turning a different way or stopping on their own. Many of
our customers state that their children are more alert and
responsive after riding their Buddy Bike and that they feel that
they fit in by being able to do what other kids do. A rider with a
disability is able to keep up with family and friends when riding
in a group so they are no longer left behind.
The Buddy Bike SPORT is ideal for
Keen Cyclists and has a wide range of gears (27)
making this a good bike for hilly areas. Thinner, slicker tires
with puncture resistance are best on paved surfaces but can handle
some other surfaces.
