These new rides are wheelie good.
Droyd, a manufacturer of kids’ rideables, recently debuted the Weeler and Blipper just in time for the holiday season. Both models are motorized bikes designed for kids — but with parents in mind — and feature a sporty, retro design. The Weeler is geared toward younger novice riders, ages 6-12, while the Blipper is designed for kids ages 13 and up for a more advanced experience.
“With electric and motorized rideables becoming ubiquitous in our world, parents need a brand they can rely on for their children to stay safe while riding,” says Droyd’s Thuan. “We are glad to introduce a solution with Droyd that will drive to exceed kids’ expectations and keep parents worry-free at the same time.”
The Weeler and Blipper models are designed with energy-efficient brushless DC motors and lithium-ion batteries for a longer life span. Find the specifics for each rideable below.
