Ida Forsmark became the happiest child in town the day she could ride a bike just like her twin sister, Alva.
Ida, aged 10, has cerebral palsy which affects her movement and coordination, but thanks to Pedego she can now cycle and her self-esteem has had a huge boost.
Parents Elin and Anders, who live in Stockholm, discovered Pedego from a friend’s recommendation and received the Step-Thru Mini Comfort Cruiser in February. Elin works at a car workshop and her team fitted stabilisers to enable Ida to practice.
“They are identical twins but Alva doesn’t have cerebral palsy, so it has been a really big issue that Ida wanted to cycle with her sister,” Elin says.
“This means the world to us, it is amazing, Ida is so happy and she has been able to ride it without the stabilisers now too.”
Ida can walk but gets tired very quickly and usually uses a wheelchair, so her parents were delighted with the help and support from Pedego electric bikes and Ida enjoyed choosing the colour – bright orange.
“This bike has truly changed my daughter’s life, there have been a lot of tears I can promise you and it is incredible for us as a family,” Elin adds. “The only problem is that after we tried it everyone in our family wants one and we’ve shown it to all our friends and everyone loves it!”
