"Rocker really brings children lots of fun with a healthy activity"

Florencia Seizer, 24 October 2009

"Last summer I bought two Triker Rockers to our 8 and 6 years old boys and they immediately became heavy users of it.

Basically they love everything that “rolls”, in fact they ride bycicles without trainning wheels since 2 and 3 years old and the tricker rocker was like another step in their outdoor fun expierence. We as parents love it too as it is a very safe product and it really brings children lots of fun with a healthy activity.

I know the product quality, design and performance is unbeatable as I see my children, their friends and cousins using it by now for more than a year and they still enjoy it at the same level of enthusiasm.

Thanks and best regards

Florencia"

Investing in Quality

To be able to continuously improve and deliver stable quality, continuous investments are key.  Not only at Q-int, but also in the factories that manufacture for us, we demand continuous improvement.  A big step in realising a strong Quality Control is the abiltiy to measure chemical components in paint, plastics, rubbers and other materials.  

  

Our Triker manufacturer recently invested heavily in new laboratory tools and machines, including a world-class spectrometer that can measure phthalates, PAH values and other chemicals that are restricted in usage for toys and/sports items, according to regulatory standards.

This way we can ensure that for every shipment, we don't have to rely only on the certifications from suppliers, but we can actually double-check if the supplied parts or materials are conform the standards.  >> That is why we ship our products with a Q-int quality label.

5 star Rocker review on Amazon

We got 5 stars in every review on Amazon.  Thanks for the great review mr. Wood !!

"The bike/go kart is very good (oh to be 8 again!). We bought it for our sons birthday, he loves any sort of ride on toy and has bikes etc. He wanted a Huffy Green machine as he had been able to have a go on one at Halfords. He is very glad he did not get one, he said that the Rocker is so comfortable and he rides on it for hours none stop. The quality of the Kart is very good and robust, there is some self assembly involved but the instructions and colour coded stickers make it easy. The steering mechanism is brilliant and can turn in fairly tight circle. The breaking mechanism is a pedle back sort, pedal forward to go, stop pedaling to freewheel, pedal back to stop, the more force used the harder the brakes bite. It is very good and can stop as quickly as the V brakes used on other trikes. Finally Amazon is currently the cheapest and it was delivered very very quickly, ordered Saturday delivered Tuesday using the free delivery option, very good indeed. Only problem was that my sons birthday was the following Sunday so he got it early, the bad point is he constantly wanted to go out, wind, rain or shine."

Testing, 1 2 3 test.

Do you know what it takes to come up with a new model that rides well, looks good and is as much fun as our other go-carts ?   As you can imagine it takes planning, prototyping, testing over and over again, cool color designs and stickering, etc.   To give you a feeling of how far we go in evaluating a model for its riding characteristics, here's a small example.

We made a complete prototype that our team of test kids can test ride.  And as you can image.... they love to help us in this testing phase.

Here's one of the wooden wheels that we are testing in order to evaluate the best diameter for our go-cart.  It's not just a gamble, it takes thinking (yes!), prototyping, testing it out, re-prototyping in different materials, and finally come up with the best possible design.So, stand by for new updates and sneak previews.  We will keep you posted on what's coming up in 2010.

Rocker wins Nappa Gold Award

We are extremely proud to anounce that our Rocker carving go-cart has again won a great award: the Gold award from NAPPA, the US National Parenting Association.  This is again a recognition in a series of many awards our products have received. 

Nappa says: "This three-wheeled thrill ride gives kids the power to turn using their own bodies – lean left and it turns left; lean right and it turns right. This low-rider has pedals extended in front for a recumbent position, inner-tube tires for a smooth ride and coaster brakes for simple stopping. The frame is coated steel and solidly built for action and fun."
