We have done our best to make the Strider™ as safe as possible by getting rid of chains, cables, sprockets, pedals,
and most of the protrusions that can cause pain. The low center of gravity, the light weight, and the unique optional foot
brake all combine to make the Strider™ a safe machine. True safety, however, depends on the proper training of the
rider and the vigilance of the parents. As with all two wheelers, riders of the Strider™ should learn the importance
of protective clothing. We recommend a properly fitted helmet, and full coverage shoes at the minimum. However, kids
love to wear "the gear" associated with BMX and motocross racing, so being dressed with gloves, goggles, jerseys,
etc. is not only safe, but also great FUN! Children should not ride alone or in busy traffic areas; and, of course,
they should be taught common rules of safety. Gear up, hop on, have fun! It's Strider™ time!
