E-Z-Roller ride on $119.99
(Wishes Toy Wonderland)
Not a luge, not a bike, not a scooter, the EzyRoller moves like a snake, without chains or pedals, using easy right-left leg movements. There are no chains and no batteries - the EzyRoller moves and turns silently. It offers the enjoyment of new locomotion possibilities that can't be experienced on any other bike or ride-on. This ride on is like no other in that you sit in a sling type of seat with your feet on the "pedals," moving your feet back and forth. A simple principle of physics allows the ride on to pick up speed quickly so you'll be glad for the hand brake. The ride on is suitable for children from 4-14+ and comes with different bars to allow for sizing changes.
