Kettler Happytrike

The “racing” bike from the German company Kettler grows with the child — for the first time, you can put the baby behind the wheel of a bike from about the age of two, after which, as the child grows, the frame of the model moves apart in 4 positions.

The reins of control

Kettler Happytrike is put on plastic wheels of different diameters: the drive wheel of the bike has a size of 10", and a pair of rear wheels — 9". On the latter, by the way, extends the action of the handbrake, which will need to get used to it well. Also , the reins of control of the bicycle can be completely shouldered by one of the parents, for which the model provides for the possibility of blocking the front wheel and pedals, and a removable pusher handle is included in the package of the bike.

Low centre of gravity

One unpleasant minus is associated with the parent handle — it has a backlash. As a result, the bike does not always go straight and the trajectory of its movement has to be corrected “on the go”. Also, in the design of the model, many would like to see stands for the legs of the baby. However, these shortcomings are not so significant, and in contrast to them, there is an increased stability of the bicycle when overcoming curbs and other obstacles (due to the low centre of gravity).

noteworthy

In addition, the model is equipped with a comfortable seat and a voluminous basket for transporting toys, which is located behind the chair. In the mid-price segment, the Kettler Happytrike is one of the most remarkable three-wheeled bikes, both in appearance and overall high quality workmanship.
