They say ‘Designed to help young children learn to cycle without the aid of stabilisers. Children will feel as heroic as Rossi himself when they see the Italian legend’s signature and ‘The Doctor’ nickname emblazoned across the products.’ We say ‘Bought my eldest a Kiddimoto when he was two. He paddled about, had balance sussed in a few days, and moved straight to tearing about on a pushbike. The youngest did exactly the same. Want to give your nipper a headstart on two wheels? Essential.’ Mike Armitage
