The Dandy Equine

The very first balance bike was the ‘Dandy Horse’. The dandy equine comprised of two wheels in-line inside a frame, which the driver would take a seat on a saddle and propel the bike by pushing his ft across the ground. The leading wheel and handle bars could pivot to permit steering. These fundamental concepts from the dandy equine have transported through from 1819 to balance bikes today.

The very first dandy equine was introduced by Baron Karl Drais, a German inventor in 1817. He named his invention the ‘Laufmaschine’ (German for ‘running machine’) and apparently did his first ride on twelfth June 1817. The dandy equine what food was in its most widely used within the summer time of 1819 when several producers tried to make their very own versions. Each carefully-created wooden bike is made to measure for every wealthy ‘dandy’. However, the dandy horse’s recognition was short-resided as riders frequent collisions with people on the streets led to laws and regulations barring their use.
