Children’s Bicycle
Ride-on Toy
Early Rider Spherovelo
The Spherovelo opens up cycling to children between one and two years of age, aimed at supporting their physical development. Using spheres instead of wheels, the ride-on toy makes it possible for very young children to safely master riding and to coordinate their motor skills and their senses. Compared to a bicycle, the spheres provide a more stable base, a lower centre of gravity and a slower rate of tipping if the child loses balance.
Statement by the Jury
Spherovelo impresses not only with its innovative idea of using spheres instead of wheels, but also with the inventive appearance derived from this idea.
