Simply put, PonyCycle® is the world's first ride-on toy that doesn’t rely on batteries or electricity but instead uses the child's own power to move. Its main purpose is to provide kids with a fun and engaging way to experience the joy of riding while getting exercise.

Unlike traditional rocking horses and electric ride-on toys, PonyCycle® moves forward through the natural galloping motion created by the child pedaling with their feet. This unique design helps children strengthen their core muscles, improve their posture, and enhance their balance.

PonyCycle® is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, allowing children to enjoy riding in various environments. With its realistic appearance and natural riding action, it gives kids the sensation of riding a real pony. This not only effectively replaces sedentary screen time but also offers valuable physical exercise and encourages active outdoor play.

The recommended age is typically 3-12 years old, although we have children of all ages, including adults, who enjoy riding it. If children are old enough to reach the pedals and possess sufficient skill to control/steer, we leave the decision to the parents.

PonyCycle® comes in different sizes, usually the size can be divided by age. Size 3 is for 3-5 years old; Size 4 is for 4-8 years old; Size 5 is for 7+ years old. Please check here to know more about how to choose the right size for your little one.

Kids just need to sit on the saddle, put their feet on the stirrups and push down to get the pony move forward. To stop, they can step on the floor or use the brake. That's it.

Yes. PonyCycle® was designed with careful thought and detail. It is easy to assemble and intuitive to set up, your PonyCycle® will come to life in 5 minutes. For more details please refer the below links:

PonyCycle® can be ridden on all flat and smooth hard surfaces, both interior and exterior (parquet, tiles, asphalt, gravel, etc.). It can also work on thin carpet without any problem, although it requires a bit more effort to push forward on thick carpet.

Please do NOT brake on wooden floors or push the PonyCycle® when the brake is applied, as this may leave marks due to rolling friction.
