Introducing the ULTIMATE mini-me product...Kiddimoto

From the moment you lay eyes on a Kiddimoto balance bike, you find yourself squealing 'IF ONLY'... Why, oh why, didn't they exist when I was a kid?

Forget spokey dokeys and handle bar tassles to make your first bike the best on the block...

The Kiddimoto bike is the complete package of cool. Kitted out to look like your Dads Ducati, or your big brothers Kawasaki, this new balance bike is sure to rock the socks off any kid who's ready to jump onto his first set of wheels.

European designed and made, these bikes are kid ready.

With sightings of 5 year olds ripping it up on BMX tracks worldwide, Kiddimoto bikes will teach your child all the balance skills they need so that their next 'big boy/girl" bike is training wheel free.

Available in the Scrambler and Superbike, your child can decide if they have the need for speed or thrill of the land.

The Superbike is designed to mimic the motocross GP bikes and the Scrambler is the supreme dirtbike. Both styles are available in a series of bright bold spliced colours, on a natural birch plywood frame. Kiddimoto wheels have wooden spokes, a steel rim and a treaded rubber tyre.

Perfect for use around the home, at the local park, and as they are compact and lightweight, easy to transport in the boot of the car.

Aimed at the 2-6 year old, balance bikes have become an essential developmental tool for most families. Kiddimoto bikes are not only a motor-skills 'must have', they are simply very very cool.

With prices starting at $299, Kiddimoto bikes are available through select childrens boutiques, toy stores and motorcycle retailers nationally. Exclusive limited edition colours available on-line at www.kiddimoto.com.au
