The award-winning family business, which is based at Squab in Leamington, is run by husband-and-wife Gary and Karen Wood who created the product to address one of the main issues that parents face when it comes to buying a bike – that children can outgrow them quickly.

Karen said: “We are delighted to reach 1,000 sales – it is an incredible achievement as a small ecommerce business.

“When we first launched our convertible balance to pedal bikes they sold out within weeks, and we’re now in a position where we can’t make them fast enough.

“The wider bike industry is in trouble due to over stock in the supply chain, so it’s fantastic that we’re in a strong position and are looking at ways we can ensure our bikes remain in stock for consumers.

“We want to revolutionise the way that children learn how to ride a bike.

"Often parents spend money on a balance bike which a child grows out of quickly.”
