Product description
You submitted a photograph of a Schwinn( Velocycle identified as model number S6738. The photograph depicts a coaster toy that resembles a bicycle and measures approximately 17” in height and 29” in length. The wheeled coaster is primarily constructed of wood, with a wood frame and handlebars, a padded “banana” seat, and 10” ethylene vinyl acetate foam tires on wood wheels. Unlike a bicycle there are no pedals or brakes. Instead the wheeled coaster has an “S” frame that is at its highest point at the handlebars and dips down toward the back wheel which allows the rider to easily get on/off the cycle and keep their feet on the ground as they propel themselves forward, or stop themselves with their feet. This allows a pre-school child weighing a maximum of fifty pounds to stay upright on the wheeled coaster without training wheels. Intended for a child between 18-36 months of age to learn how to balance on two wheels, the Schwinn( Velocycle is a toy wheeled vehicle.
