EVOLVE Child's Bicycle
For first-time riders, EVOLVE grows with the child
For first-time riders, EVOLVE grows with the child
Evolve is designed to satisfy the real needs of first-time bicycle riders - for a safer, more comfortable and more enjoyable riding experience. Evolve is adaptable, to cater for riders with evolving skills, as well as evolving physical characteristics.
Greater adjustability on several areas of the bicycle means that it remains the correct size for children for a longer time, extending the lifespan of the bike - at a time when children are growing rapidly.
The clean design features minimal protruding parts to minimise the severity of impacts; while adjustable, sprung training wheels contribute to easier, safer development of balance.

Initial sketches exploring form, styling and adjustability
Greater adjustability than current children's bicycles
A working prototype tested usability and ergonomics; as well as the sprung training wheels concept
Seat with integrated handle, allowing a supervisor to help control a learning rider. The seat also features a 'nose-less' design, to reduce the severity of impacts during falls.
Sprung training wheels are adjustable to provide varying levels of support, i.e. stiff training wheel positions for beginners to provide a constantly upright bicycle; yet as the child learns, the stiffness can be lowered - to allow children to lean into corners and develop the balance necessary for bicycle riding
