Grows with your kids until the day they finally grow apart.

You'll never forget the day you brought it home. You put a big red bow on the box and told your kid to close his eyes and then SURPRISE!

There was an immediate connection. Your kid got down on all fours and hugged it tight. The YBike Explorer 2.0 Go Kart licked his face and happily waggled its safety flag which, looking back now, was really kinda weird.

From that day on, they were inseparable. They slept together, ate together, explored the neighborhood terrain with three-wheeled pedal power and easy-grip steering handles together.

You thought maybe that, as your kid grew, he would also grow bored of his YBike. But that never happened. Every couple years, you'd just use the extender brackets on the adjustable frame, and off they'd go like always.

But the trouble with YBikes is that they just don't live forever. They were both 15 the day they said goodbye. Your kid, now no longer a kid, sat with his best friend through the night, patting him gently and whispering, "Good bike. Good bike."

The next morning, it was gone. Across the rainbow bridge to that bike park in the sky. At least that's what you told him. Really, you just gave it away to the kid down the street because yours was getting too old to be playing with bikes and, honestly, that relationship had gotten a little out of hand.
