yoMOTO stands out in the crowd of products designed to mobilize young children. For one thing, it is decidedly un-bike-like in appearance. Sharper, flashier, and with a contemporary look that includes the sort of sleek lines one might expect from a high-end sports car, yoMOTO catches your eye. That look appeals to kids of all ages, and yoMOTO's functional aspects are especially well-suited to getting the very young on wheels, fast. The low-to-the ground, four-wheeled design offers greater stability. Its narrow, lightweight frame creates a lean-and-learn experience that develops gross motor skills and the confidence kids need in order to progress to two-wheeled bikes. Kids can push off with either foot and glide along, feet perched in footholds on either side of the ride, feeling safe and secure. The only assembly required is to snap each of two handles into place (used for steering), a process that takes about 10 seconds. New York Toy Fair 2014 Booth No. 5534.
