EcoFactor: Such eco-friendly bikes help kids to gain knowledge of eco-living even as they whiz around on their two-wheelers.
The future promises to be green only if we shift our mode of transport from fuel guzzling cars to eco-vehicles like human powered bikes. Hence, we need to introduce our kids to the most eco-friendly mode of transport right from their toddler days. However, in this day and age locating a uber-green bicycle seems to be a task. The market is flooded with two-wheelers constructed from non-eco materials like plastic and metal. The Early Rider Chopper rides in to break the monotony and at the same time render a sense of eco-living even at playtime. Crafted out of birch ply from supervised resources and sporting kid-friendly shades, this pedal-free chopper helps kiddos to develop their balancing skills by propelling and halting the bike with their tiny feet.
For about AU$250, any brat or doll will love to steer it around.
Dark Side:
The parents need to be eco-conscious to introduce such a woody bike in early years and also make the kids understand why such a bike is more beneficial than its non-eco counterparts. Also, such bikes can only serve for a couple of years. Later they should be either resold or given to deserving young tots and not thrown into landfills.

My kids stylish tricycle and all his toys are sadly made of plastic and all carry label made in China. Though not much can be done about the China part, I am glad to see wood chopper around. And hopefully the ”supervised resources” would mean recycled or not made by cutting down the tree.
Yeah the supervised resources does imply that the wood used to make this bicycle is not derived by cutting down trees.
Well, hope we get to see many such eco-toys. Plastic sucks!
AU$250, I think that to much :(
