For most of us, our first foray into the wonderful world of two wheels started onboard a bicycle. Chances are, said bicycle was far too big for us, but we just made do and sent it. Kids these days, however, have it much easier. Manufacturers have realized that there is a market for the grassroots level of riding, and so bikes specifically for kids to learn the ropes have been developed.
A good example of this comes from Husqvarna in the form of the EE 1.18 and EE 1.20 electric balance bikes made by Stacyc. A balance bike is essentially a bicycle, but without the pedals. Here, kids dangle their legs off the saddle and kick themselves around as they learn their balance, hence the term balance bike. An electric balance bike is a regular balance bike, but with an electric motor. This means that once the kids have gained their balance, they can zip around their Husky EE 1.18 and EE 1.20 as if it were a tiny little electric dirtbike.
