2nd prize is a $50 gift card to Pennypickle's workshop!

STACYC is the perfect choice for kids with little or no experience on a balance bike. Your child should have an inseam of 14” or more to adequately touch the ground with a slight bend in the knees for optimum sizing. Your child can learn to push, balance, and coast in the non-powered mode. Graduate them to the powered mode as they show proficient use and understanding of the brake and the ability to coast and brake while standing. Start them with a speed similar to what they can push the non-powered version at so they learn the use of the twist throttle. As they continue to develop skills, the medium speed of the STACYC allows for an exceptional amount of fun outdoors, getting hours of hand-eye coordination, balance, and outdoor exercise.

you can win a special pennypickle edition of
a stacyc electric bike!
