SEE IT MOVE
Watch it change shape
One frame, reconfigured as they grow. Quicker to watch than to read about.
HOW IT GROWS
The frame stays. Everything else moves.
The seat and handlebars raise as they do, and the attachments change what the bike is for. You are not buying a stage, you are buying the frame all the stages hang off.
Sitting and pushing
Seat at its lowest, feet flat on the ground, nothing in the way.
Balancing
Seat raised, feet up, gliding. This is where the real skill is learned.
Pedalling
Add the pedal attachment. No training wheels, because the balance is already there.
Tricycle or downhill
Extra stability with a rear cargo box, or a footrest brake for hills.
Seat and handlebar heights are listed on the product page. Follow the manufacturer's manual for sizing and setup.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Four things you will notice
ORIGIN
Designed and built in the European Union
leg&go is made by Shaman Inventions Ltd in Latvia, from Baltic birch plywood. Designed, engineered and manufactured in the same place, not assembled from parts shipped in and rebadged.
"It's crazy how many disposable things are constantly produced in this world. I decided to do it differently, to create a bike that grows together with its rider, so that the parents shouldn't buy a new one after a year."

Questions parents ask
Does it come with pedals?
No. The bike ships as a balance bike. Pedals are the separate Pedal Bike Add-on, which is deliberate, because balance comes first and pedals come later.
Will the attachments fit later, or do I have to buy now?
They fit the same frame, so you can add them at any point. Nothing expires and nothing needs to be bought as a set.
What size child does it suit?
Sizing is by height rather than age, and the seat and handlebars adjust. The measurements are on the product page. Send us your child's height and we will tell you honestly whether it is too early.
Is wood strong enough for a bike?
It is Baltic birch plywood, and the flex is the point. iF Design's judges specifically praised the cantilevered suspension when they gave it Gold in 2019. leg&go also report running one 40,075 km on a test rig with only the tires needing replacement.
Chain or belt?
Belt, on both the pedal and tricycle attachments. Nothing to oil, and no chain to catch fingers.
Can it be left outside?
We would not. It is a plywood frame with a protective finish, so rain and prolonged damp are not its friend. Bring it in and it will last.
Where is it made?
In the European Union. Specifically Latvia, by Shaman Inventions Ltd, from Baltic birch plywood.
How does it arrive?
Flat packed with a manual. Assembly is straightforward and the tools you need are included.
Not sure it is the right moment?
Tell us your child's height and whether they are walking confidently. We will tell you honestly whether to buy now or wait six months.
