Kidvelo are a new Kids’ bike specialist manufacturer, but no stranger to the industry. Two family businesses, the former Strider Balance Bike distributors in the UK and Australia, put their combined 40 years of experience into designing their own range of premium bikes that have just launched.
They have just received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur and Dragons Den’s Theo Paphitis, within months of opening. Last week, Karen Wood, Founder of Kidvelo Bikes, tweeted Theo about her business during ‘Small Business Sunday’ and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet by Theo to his near half a million Twitter followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 3,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.
Small business champion and Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue Chairman, Theo Paphitis, said: “We are thrilled to welcome new #SBS members every week and highlight just how important it is to support our small businesses here in the UK. My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish Kidvelo Bikes every success.”
Cycling for the first time without stabilisers can be a very powerful memory in a child’s life that builds confidence and a natural sense of adventure. Kidvelo Bikes provide an easy and safe way to achieve this with the Rookie 12 Balance Bike. A simple bike that has no pedals, and is designed to teach a child to balance before learning to use pedals.
The Rookie 12 Balance Bike is one of the lightest on the market, weighing just 2.89 kg, and comes with air tyres on alloy rims to offer better grip and geometry perfectly suited to their young customers.
