Push to Pedal
Push to Pedal is a children’s bicycle that grows and evolves with the child. Focused specifically on the developmental stage of cycling, Push to Pedal allows the child to learn the fundamentals of cycling on a balance bike, and then on the same bicycle move to a pedal bike.

Initial card prototypes gave a better understanding of what the frame needed to do and how components would interact.
Initial 3D printed prototype provides a better representation of what the tubing would look like on a final frame.
Final 3D printed bike assembly using parts from a donor bike. Further prototypes are required to refine the concept.
Changes in bike geometry and wheelbase from Push to Pedal. Both bottom bracket height and wheelbase increase when in Pedal.
The frames will be available in several different colour choices.
Final supporting board showing the details of how the frame would function, the features of the bike as a whole, renders and the size comparison overlay.
