Nimble, a groundbreaking children's single-arm balance bike, follows the concept of "multiple uses for one vehicle, growing alongside children". It integrates beginner-friendly features with competitive functionality. The single-arm structure is reinforced at joints via triangular mechanics and based on asymmetric dynamics principles. This results in a lightweight body weighing only 2.8 kg, yet capable of supporting a maximum load of 200 kg. The wheel pull-off force of this structure can withstand up to 120 kg. Additionally, the turning radius is reduced to 30% of traditional models, significantly enhancing maneuverability and inspiring children's athletic creativity, while also meeting the convenience needs of family outings.



Nimble innovatively introduces a quick-release wheel system. With a button press, the front and rear wheels can be swiftly disassembled for easy replacement of different tire sizes. This not only simplifies daily cleaning and maintenance, but also reduces the packaging volume of the carton, cutting transportation costs by one-third compared to similar products.



Nimble supports swapping between 10-inch silent foam tires for indoor use and 12-inch pneumatic tires that enable older kids to achieve higher speeds and drifting tricks for increased playability. The height of the handlebars and saddle can be adjusted to accommodate children's growth, thereby lowering usage costs.



Visually, Nimble features an advanced robotic spraying process for a natural gradient from Mars green to light green sand, with color difference controlled at less than or equal to 1.5. The total coating thickness is controlled between 0.15 and 0.2 mm, ensuring an attractive appearance without adding extra weight. The quick-release wheels are made from recycled rubber containing 30% reclaimed tire particles. The single-arm frame is constructed from recyclable magnesium alloy, reflecting a commitment to environmental protection and sustainability.
