Revolutionizing Children's Mobility: The 700kids Balance Bike

Johnny Liu's Innovative Design Wins Silver A' Design Award

Johnny Liu's 700kids Balance Bike, a revolutionary approach to children's mobility, has been recognized with the prestigious Silver A' Design Award. The award-winning design, inspired by chair design, is a unique blend of aesthetics, functionality, and safety, crafted with the innovative Gas-Assisted Injection Molding (GAIM) technology.

The 700kids Balance Bike stands out for its unique properties. Its body frame, shaped by GAIM technology, is lightweight yet sturdy, with a delicate and well-stacked surface. The design team paid special attention to the footrest, a feature children frequently use while sliding. The footrest's design, reminiscent of the PI character 'O', effectively conveys safety and comfort to its young users.

Johnny Liu's design is not just about aesthetics; it's about user experience. The bike's body is black, while the pedals, handles, and cushions are yellow. This color scheme guides children through the process of riding, gliding, and maintaining balance, making the learning process easier and more enjoyable. The bike is easy to assemble, requiring only the connection of the handle head and the vehicle body.

The realization of the 700kids Balance Bike was a journey that started in November 2018 with the idea of a flawless balance bike. By May 2019, the integrated form design was completed, and the bike was available for sale online by November 2019. The design process involved extensive research and overcoming challenges related to materials and techniques. After studying carbon fiber, plastic, and metal, the team chose nylon glass fiber for its user-friendly properties and production feasibility with GAIM technology.

The 700kids Balance Bike is a testament to the power of design and innovation. The design team, including Liumingjin, Guojingjing, Liuminjie, and Liaozebin, was committed to designing a safer, faster, lighter, and better-experienced scooter for children. The result is a product that is as much about aesthetics as it is about safety, with no sharp corners or hidden dangers.

Johnny Liu's 700kids Balance Bike is a winner of the Silver A' Baby, Kids and Children's Products Design Award in 2020, a testament to its outstanding design and innovation. The award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The 700kids Balance Bike, with its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, is indeed a design that introduces positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
