Our 3 year old loves her tricycle, and the mac ride, but won't ride her strider. you put her on a bike with training wheels and off she goes. I think its very child specific.Good to know. That makes a lot of sense. We were going to go balance bike route i think

Borrowing may work but don't be surprised if your child has no interest at first so try to borrow long term. My oldest got his strider for christmas '21, same for me getting the mac ride. It took probably two months before he actually wanted to ride his own bike instead of daddy's bike. I just stayed patient and didn't push anything but gave lots of opportunity to use it, and lots of praise when he did.Dude yeah I would be all over that. I went through a few years of let me try all of the frames that look cool
good to know. Might look into borrowing before i buy anything. Good tip
thanks for the tips, this is all new territory for me as a parent. really hoping the kid likes to ride, would make trips a lot more fun hahaBorrowing may work but don't be surprised if your child has no interest at first so try to borrow long term.

there is a good used market for a lot of this stuff, so even if you buy it new and sell it lightly used, you aren't out that much $.thanks for the tips, this is all new territory for me as a parent. really hoping the kid likes to ride, would make trips a lot more fun haha
evil offering is still my favorite bike i ever owned.View attachment 3227375
2019 Evil Offering.
Great choice but I ended up going Yeti, just because they are local, well maybe designed and assembled anyway...2019 Evil Offering.
I had a Yeti SB5.5 prior to the Offering and I like the Evil better. My SB5.5 felt like it was bucking me off when leaning into bermed corners. It was a constant fight to keep the bike leaned down. After I got this bike I rode a friends SB150, and it did not have that same bucking feel but wasn't as plush on the chatter, though it was faster. I don't think you can go wrong with either bike.Great choice but I ended up going Yeti, just because they are local, well maybe designed and assembled anyway...

I agree, I was so close to pulling the trigger on the Evil. The 150 is a whole other level than the 5.5. I regret nothing, this bike can go well beyond what I can put it through. I got it in 2019 when they just released it so it was hard to not jump on it.I had a Yeti SB5.5 prior to the Offering and I like the Evil better.
