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.
