Back-to-school season is upon us, and it’s time to turn that early morning commute to school into something special! Instead of sitting in traffic and dealing with the chaos every morning before drop-off, why not make the trip to class with your little ones fun? With Radio Flyer, you can fly to school with The Official eBike of Back to School ®, the FLYER Via™ or Via Pro™! Here are five ways you can use your FLYER™ eBike to add some creativity to your family’s ride.
1. Morning Scavenger Hunts
Turn the ride to school into a fun scavenger hunt! Before you head out on your FLYER Via™ or Via Pro™, create a list of things for your kids to spot. This can include different types of animals, street signs, or unique landmarks in your neighborhood and on the way to school. Check out our Scavenger Hunt blog for ideas! Each day on your commute, the kids can get fresh air riding on the back of your eBike in their Kid and Cargo Carrier XL Hauler and check off items that they have found each morning.
Supplies:
- Binoculars

2. Sing Along Sessions
What’s a better way to bond on your way to school than a family sing-along? Create a playlist of your favorite tunes and play that out loud for your children from your as you ride along on your eBike.
