Need a $1000 pushbike for your toddler?

[Jersey Skier]

I can't get a bike priced under $4000 from Specialized to sell to my customers yet they have time to make a $1000 push bike for toddlers.

That'd work for about eight minutes until my champ threw it down and punched a hole through the frame on a rock ...

Who wouldn't want their kid's pushbike to be bombproof for 15 years? That will be all they need until they start driving a car right?

The funny thing is I can totally see Potomac nannies wanting this, simply because they can then one hand the kid and one hand the bike. ESPECIALLY with the carbon wheels.

Having sold and ridden carbon mountain bikes for years, that is really not a concern. I jsut don't get the logic of producing a bike like this, this year when we can't get any bikes to sell.

Creating busywork for the R&D side comes to mind.

Weirdly, kids bikes seem to be reasonably available atm - even from companies who are ghosting every other query.

Not from Specialized. All sold out or oversold for '21.

They will sell as many of those as they can make.

It's the next logial step after riding around in the $5,000 stroller..

 

[scott43]

I paid $350CDN and drop shipped the stroller to Niagara Falls USA. That stroller costs $600CDN here and I still wanted to punch someone in the face...

This was about $1,300 US. 350gr frame.

The owner talked about a family that ordered three of them.

I'm getting one of those for my 35 year old riding buddy.

The only way I have a prayer of keeping up........

[Erik Timmerman]
