Take them for a ride!
The people who dreamed up Yvolution are Movers ‘n’ Makers. Born in Dublin, they are a team of big kids who never grew up! They spent their childhoods outside riding anything with wheels. They believe there is nothing quite like the feeling of adrenaline and the wind in their hair to put a smile on kids’ faces. They make award-winning scooters, balance bikes and flikers with one goal in mind – to unplug kids into a world of happiness and health.
The people who sell Yvolution bikes and scooters can be found in Didsbury, Manchester. They are called Giddy Goat Toys and the feeling of never growing up is not at all alien to them. They are the only independent toy specialists in Manchester and describe themselves as a traditional children’s toy shop. Traditional they may be, but with the curiosity and inquisitiveness of children, they always stock their shelves with something new and exciting.
Yvolution and Giddy Goat are a match made in heaven, and offer the perfect solution for ultimate Christmas presents that will last into spring, summer and a few years into the future.
Let’s start with the Wiggle Scooters – the three wheeled, Y-shaped scooter that encourages kids to ‘wiggle-wiggle’ wherever they go. The Y Fliker A1 (£64.99) is a breeze to ride with smooth drifting and awesome control. Kids just move their weight from side to side (without needing to put their feet on the ground to speed up) and the frame propels them forward. And you simply watch and relax. The Y Fliker A3 (£84.99) is for thrill seekers, designed for drifting, carving, freestyle riding and maximum impact on the streets. Parents can still watch, relaxing is optional.
Their more traditional scooters also come in various shapes and colours, and have different fun functionalities.
The Yglider Air Green (£39.99) is designed to build confidence and help children master new skills. There’s even a chunky rear foot brake for emergency stops! Ideal for beginners, the three-wheeled design and extra wide deck is incredibly stable and smooth rolling. Light enough for kids to carry on their own, this is the perfect ride for their first scooter adventures.
The YGlider Kiwi Scooter (£69.99) combines the fun of regular scooters with a patented design that helps kids develop their motor skills and balance. The extendable handlebar means that the scooter is suitable for children aged from 3-8 years, as you can simply extend the stem as they grow and the scooter can be folded flat for easy carrying.
The Y Glider XL Deluxe (£84.99) comes fully loaded with an advanced ‘learn, grow, pro’ steering system that gives you maximum control over the ride settings as your child progresses. Arc-folding handlebars and a lightweight design make it easy to store and extremely portable. This is a scooter for kids with style.
The YGlider NUA Scooter (£89.99) is the new kid on the block. This three-wheeled scooter comes fully loaded with a new smooth, curved, kid-friendly design. No sharp edges! The extra wide LED light-up front wheels give an amazing bright look to the scooter and are perfect to ensure better visibility on the streets. No batteries required! The scooter also comes with a hanging accessory which allows you to hang the scooter on the wall, safely out of the way.
If scooting isn’t your child’s thing, cycling surely is. And if you go for the YVelo Junior Balance Bike (£54.99), you can start them on it from 18 months old. This bike with a stable double-width wheel and dual rear wheels allows for a lot of stability until confidence is built. And then, from age 3, move on to the YVelo Balance Bike (£54.99) which is specifically designed to let your child focus on scooting, steering and balancing – without worrying about the pedals.
And then there is the YVelo Flippa 3 in 1 Trike to Balance Bike (£94.99) – the best of both worlds! This bike is incredibly versatile – start by using it as a trike with a parent-steering handlebar, then let your child cruise on their own in trike mode. Once they are ready for life on two wheels you can simply ‘twist and flip’ to transform this trike into a two wheeled balance bike in seconds. Just take off the pedals and they’re ready to go!
