Walking Bike for children (fully functional)

thingiverse

This is a fully functional children's walking bike, ment for small children age 1 to 3. In addition to all 3D printed parts, you will need the following parts: - 1 meter long 8 mm threaded bar - 5x Z608 (8 mm) bearings. (2x needed for front wheels, 2x needed rear wheels, 1x needed for lower front fork) - 4x 8 mm bolts with 60 mm length (for connecting the two chassis pieces). - 2x 6 mm bolts for mounting the seat. - 4x-8x 8 mm washers. The washers are used as spacers between the bearings and nuts. - 11x 8 mm nut for mounting the wheels and front fork. For each shaft, 2 nuts are needed to secure the shafts to the bearing and 2 nuts are needed to fasten the wheels. The 8 mm threaded bar is cut to length for the wheel shafts and front fork. The remaining part can then be inserted horizontally into the chassis pieces for added strength (Although it was found that even without this reinforcement, the chassis is capable of supporting 65 kg easily). This walking bike was designed by me in OpenSCAD for my son. (At the moment of writing, it is in his skillful hands, undergoing extensive trials).
