KTM Brings Strider PREbike Riding Toy for Kids to the US

Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM has recently introduced the perfect Christmas gift for extreme toddler riders to the United States. And this is not smack talk. The KTM Strider PREbike is a pedal-free bike that enables toddlers as young as 18 months to learn how to ride and balance on two wheels.

Strider teaches the skills needed to safely and easily transition to riding both a pedal bike and a Sportminicycle. This, of course, before your kid starts having wet dreams of a more meaner nature. Let’s say the KTM 125 Duke for example.

“KTM has invested in young motorcycle riders for many years with our large line-up of minicycles, and now, with the KTM Strider we can welcome riders into the KTM Family at a much younger age. We believe wholeheartedly that learning to ride on a PREbike will develop strong riding skills and have kids Ready To Race when they graduate to our minis,” stated KTM North America President Jon-Erik Burleson.

The KTM Strider PREbike highlights include:

• Bold KTM Styling: Color matched to the KTM big bikes with dirt-inspired action graphics that get kids excited to be like Dad.
• Sized Right: 6.9 pounds - built small and light so even the smallest kids can have full control over the bike.
• Highly Adjustable: Seat height adjusts from 11” to 16” from the ground (and up to 19” with the optional XL seatpost) & handlebar height adjusts from 20” to 22” from the ground – perfect for toddlers 18 month to 5 yrs old.
• Frame Design: Custom-welded thin-gauge steel frame with U.S. patented, performance-based frame geometry and integrated Launch Pad™ footrests located directly below the saddle allows children to learn advanced riding skills like gliding, standing, manual wheelies, and bunny-hops… all making the transition to dirt bikes that much easier.
• Tires/Wheels: Puncture-proof, super-lightweight, EVA-polymer tires with sealed bearings running on 8mm steel axles mean a maintenance-free bike that is always ready to ride.
