Problem
Many children do not get the daily movement their minds and bodies need, which can contribute to difficulties with focus, sensory sensitivities, and self-regulation. Traditional exercise equipment fails to engage kids, while screen-based activities often keep them sedentary, missing the opportunity to channel their energy productively.
Solution
Tovie offers the first Pedal-to-Play™ kids' bike, a stationary exercise bike that connects via Bluetooth to interactive games, making movement the controller. As children pedal, the games respond, turning physical activity into a fun, engaging adventure. The bike is designed with input from pediatric occupational therapists, pediatricians, and child psychologists to keep kids in the "Regulation Zone"—moving long enough to benefit without overstimulation. Parental controls allow customization of game length, sounds, and intensity, helping children burn energy, find calm, and improve focus, all while being compact and easy to use at home.
Target Audience
Primary customers are parents of young children, particularly those with high energy levels, focus challenges, or sensory sensitivities, who are seeking engaging, at-home tools to support physical activity and self-regulation.
