Our story — smarTrike Australia

Our story

Growing together.

A trike that starts as a stroller you push and ends as a bike they ride. Bought once, used for years.

The idea

One product, several childhoods

Most baby gear has a short life. You buy a pram, then a trike, then a balance bike, and each one is outgrown long before it wears out. It fills the garage and it adds up.

smarTrike® was built around a different idea. Every product is modular, so the same frame carries a child through several stages. Parts move, adjust and come off as they are needed. The trike your six month old sits in is the trike your three year old pedals.

Better value, and a good deal less waste.

Everyday travel

School run, airport, beach path, farmers market. It folds down and comes with you.

How it works

Four stages, one frame

The exact stages differ by model. This is the shape of it.

Stage one, parent pushed stroller mode

Stage one

You push

Reclined seat, full harness, canopy up. Your child is a passenger and you have both hands on the parent handle.

Stage two, guided steering mode

Stage two

They steer, you drive

Handlebars unlock so they can hold on and feel involved, while steering stays with you.

Stage three, pedalling mode

Stage three

They pedal

Pedals engage and the parent handle comes off. Footrest and harness stow away.

Stage four, free ride mode

Stage four

They ride

A trike they take themselves, with nothing left of the stroller but the frame it started on.

The engineering

Touch Steering®

Steering a trike from behind used to mean wrestling it. Touch Steering® is smarTrike's patented system that turns a light movement of the parent handle into a smooth turn at the front wheel.

It sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between a walk you enjoy and a walk you cut short.

The system sits behind the patents and the awards further down this page.

What we care about

Three things shape every decision

Getting them moving

Active play early matters, and it is easier when the equipment invites it. Our products are built to be used daily, outdoors, in whatever the weather is doing.

Designing for change

Children change fast. Every product is designed in stages from the outset, so it adapts rather than gets replaced.

Built to last

A product that serves three years and then gets handed on has done its job. We build for durability because it is the honest version of doing less harm.
