  • 7.11.10 Fabian Oestbygaard from Denmark

    Thank you for you quick and positive answer. My Wishbone Bike dealer, www.peewee-people.com, just made my day: new improved bearings and distance pieces is on their way, exactly what I thought of when I inspected the broken bearings, so a big cadeau to Peewee and Wishbonedesign, it all turned in to a nice experience, thank you :-).r

  • 6.11.10 Jen from Wishbone in Wellington

    Hi Fabian, Im very sorry to hear you've had difficulty with your wishbone bike. Please let us know, either here or by email to jenny@wishbonedesign.com, whether you would like replacement bearings or a credit for your bike. We would love to help you get your little one up and riding happily.

  • 5.11.10 Fabian Oestbygaard from Denmark

    Gave a (expensive) wishbone bike to my son, at his 1 year birthday.rHe tried to use it twice, but don't know how.rBut when I was disassambling the back wheels, the wheel bearing fall apart.rVery poor quality, very annoying and very dissapointing.

  • 2.11.10 Michelle from Victoria, Australia

    Hello Wishbone designers,rI just want to say what a brilliant bike you've made. We bought one for our first child when she was 18months, and she is still loving it in three wheeler mode at 2 and a half years. Many of her friends have cheeper 2 wheel versions and still can't ride them, whereas we've been enjoying riding with older friends for a year already. We are looking forward to our new baby boy riding it in due time as the quality is clear. We have also had wonderful after sales support. I recommend this bike to all my friends, we will soon have a Wishbone community! I'm looking forward to accessorising (Mai will LOVE the flowers!) THANKS NZ for more great products!

  • 24.10.10 bert from netherlands

    After not even a year on the wishbone bike, which she mastered to perfection, our daughter Hannah switched to a pedal bike at 3 years and 8 months. She's great on that one too now and not that intersted in the wishbone anymore. I almost miss her masterful handling of the wishbone, which is such a pretty object. But her sister Elisabeth (2) is growing into a wishbone fanatic so still much to enjoy.

  • 20.10.10 Suzie Michaelis from Canberra Australia

    We LOVE our wishbone! I just wanted to say thank you so much - Samuel is nearly four and thinks he's in a Grand Prix - comes screaming down hills on the trike yelling 'I love you Mummy!' - I cannot tell you how much pleasure your trike has given us all! This weekend we'll change to the bike version and see how he goes, but he adores his kauri - thank you so much for a fantastic product in EVERY way.

  • 15.10.10 Jen from Wishbone from Wellington

    Hi Christelle - thanks very much for making contact with us directly. Please let us know exactly what's going on with your bike. We need to get your little one up and riding pronto! You can email me directly on jennifer@ wishbonedesign.com if you want.

  • 14.10.10 Christelle H from France (Toulouse)

    So far our little boy can not use the bike because there is a default and I can not get this fix. I am waiting impatiently to see wishbone or its french representative to fix the problem (that is lasting for almost 2 month now)rThank you

  • 13.10.10 beppe from cremona,italy

    thanks,really...it is all that i was looking for for my little Leo...

  • 7.10.10 Jen from Wishbone in Wellington

    Ha! I'll get Rich to make two. We can ride them together round and round Hyde Park. That'd turn some heads.

  • 7.10.10 Louisa from London

    Our little boy's about to get a Wishbone for his first birthday, a present from Granny. We can't wait and are rather jealous. Can you make a grown-up version please?

  • 30.9.10 Clara from Ireland

    Fantastic Site!

  • 30.9.10 Rasmus from Denmark

    Cool site! Great use of Flash :)

  • 29.9.10 Ilona (19 mois) from switzerland (swiss) (suisse)

    Merci pour ce magnifique velo (bike) : )

  • 29.9.10 Jocelyn from Adelaide

    Got a wishbone for our 2yo, 2 yrs ago. He was a demon on the wishbone, racing down hills with super balance. He has just graduated to a pedel bike with NO trainers and is just as fast and balanced down the same hills, while all his mates are still on their trainers. It works!!! rIt has now been handed down to our daughter. Watch out world.

  • 28.9.10 renee bolduc from montreal canada

    Just bought a bike for our 3 year old daughter and hoping to keep it until she is old enough to have her own. Tanks for a great object.rRenee

  • 21.9.10 Karima Zerrou from New York

I really miss you guys and when I heard about New Zealand earthquake I thought of you hoep all is well, congrats on this great project I am sure Noah and lulu must enjoy them. Please find me on facebook and stay in touch!!!! kisses Karima

  • 15.9.10 steve from melbourne

    we bought the wishbone for our boy when he was 18mths. He loved it as a trike and loves it even more as a 2 wheeler. He is now 27mths old and this is the sort of stuff he gets up to with it. rhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJZQAp31qH0rBrilliantly designed bike. you should look at the next step too, a bike with peddles.rcheers,rs

  • 15.9.10 angie from buenos aires, argentina

  • 8.9.10 Juana from Granada

    I LOVE my wishbonebike!!!

  • 5.9.10 Erica from Argentina

    Excelente su creacion . Felicitaciones !r

  • 2.9.10 Peggy Brain from Havelock North

    We just brought a Koru yesterday and assembled it last night ready for our girls 2nd bday on Sunday, what a cool looking bike and her dad was very impressed with the quality of the components. We can't wait to see her reaction to it, her dad can't wait to play with her on it out in the paddock going down the gentle slope. Well done on a very cool bike, may be more expensive than other wooden bikes on the market but having it as a trike first and the quality makes it worth it. Also very cool marketing, love the box design and other attention to detail. Hope you design and make some other groovy products in the near future.

  • 1.9.10 Goon from Vietnam

    This site looks awsome men, good job!

  • 30.8.10 Guido Schmidt from Netherlands

    Since our son was 13 month he is riding his wishbone bike.rhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1__L14XuBcrNow he is 2 years and we switched over to a 2 wheel version. We will see how it is going on.rrthanks for the nice bike,rguido

  • 24.8.10 Joyce from Aduard

    Well done! Amazing website and even more amazing product. I'm trying to find a second hand wishbonebike, but it seems like everyone who has one doesn't want to let go of it anymore. And I can see why! rSo I'll get my familiy to chip in and buy a new one as a first-year-birthday-present for our son. Can't wait to see him racing away on it! rUltimate clean energy; bikes powered by legs.

  • 23.8.10 Marina from Indonesia

    Nice work!

  • 21.8.10 Erika from Somerville,MA

    We just got the wishbone bike and my 17 month old LOVES it. It was the only balance bike he would ride and yesterday he would not get off of it in the balance trike mode. He wakes up in the morning ready to ride! And my husband and I love that he can "graduate" to a two wheel balance bike without buying something new as well! Thank you!!!r

  • 19.8.10 Elijah's Mum from Wellington, NZ

    My 18 month old has special needs, is development delayed, born without stomach muscles, is deaf and has issues with his hips, knees and legs. Dr's weren't sure he would ever walk and yet he has been riding his Wishbone bike since he was 14 months old! This is so stable and gives him the freedom of other able bodied kids. We can't thank you for this invention enough! I am going to post photos of him with his new red seat (his fav. colour) on his FB page. ( search "Elijah's Prune Belly Page")

  • 19.8.10 kristen from hamilton

    the best investment you can make to get your kids out there and burning energy. our nearly 3 year old had just graduated to 2 wheels - and is now doing the best part of 4km on it! when she has had enough i just pop it on the handles of the buggy! perfect! and she loves the independence. she can tag along with her big sister who is on a pedal bike as well - great exercise for everyone (including mum keeping up with them!). i will spread the word of wishbone!! many thanks kristen, hamilton, nz

  • 16.8.10 Kiri from Wairoa,Hawkes Bay

  • 27.7.10 Bert & Henny from Netherlands

    Our daughters Hannah (aged 3) and Elisabeth (aged 1) simply love the wishbone bike. It's such an elegant, smooth, fast and stable means of transport for the toddler. They ride them on their way to daycare, in the fields, in the woods. By far the best bikes around for small children. Thanks!
