My 2-year old would love this! As for value, I really can’t even guess. I mean, we pay £300+ in the UK for a top quality 12” wheeled kids bike with belt drive etc (see Earlyrider).

It's got to be more than a specialized carbon balance bike, they're £999 new, but as yours is a one off, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.

If we want to inspire the next generation of riders, kids deserve better bikes. That’s why we took the same tech behind our world championship-winning bikes and combined it with proportional design to build the ultimate balance bike. We poured over every detail in order to achieve a ride quality...

I've seen a £2k carbon fibre balance bike for sale...
I'm sure Waltly will sort out a custom geometry trike frame for less than £500 for you.

I'm shocked at how much semi-decent kids bikes cost to buy here. Since I've got 3 weans, the rules are that they can have whatever they want, as long as they build them up themselves from used parts, with some help from dad.

To be fair, a 2year old wouldn't mind if it was a plastic thing from Argos, but Dad on the other hand, would love it!

Agreed!
I was trying to remember who was selling the carbon balance bikes. Having seen my boys use and abuse theirs, I would suggest that titanium would always have been the better material.
