Wooden Tricycle Models

A wooden tricycle has been a part of the bicycle collecting world since the late 1860s. There needs to be more information about when the first wood tricycles were made, but it is assumed that these bikes were often homemade, using leftover parts from items such as golf carts to entertain children. By the 1870s, these bikes were considered classic children’s toys sold in catalogs and stores.

Many companies offer new and refurbished versions of a classic wooden tricycle for enthusiasts. These bikes offer a frame made from light wood with no non-toxic materials, making them incredibly environmentally sound. Tricycles made of wood are also known for lacking a chain, making them safe for new riders to learn how to maneuver easily.

Did you know that wooden tricycles were as popular among women as children for some time?

In the 1880s, women were drawn to the wooden tricycle for its elegant design. As they had trouble mounting and dismounting from tall bicycles in their cumbersome dresses, the wooden tricycle became a logical alternative, and women flocked to stores to purchase this classy accessory.


Summary

Due to the environmental impact, a wooden tricycle is becoming a more popular option for parents and collectors today. Classic models offer plenty of control over speed and steering, making it less likely that the rider will take a fall while still learning to handle the bike independently. These stylish pieces also stand out against more common metal or plastic versions, giving them vintage appeal.
