The one main difference between the 'big' gift and the other gifts was that the one from Santa was never wrapped, it was simply left under or by the tree on Christmas Eve, after the kids had gone to sleep, so that they would see it first when they woke up in the morning.
Do you give a big gift from Santa Clause to your kids each year? We used to, for as long as they believed. Now that my youngest son is older, I still give him a big gift, and I still say it's from Santa, he's just on to me now, about who it's really from... 😉

As we were assembling this Mobo Triton Cruiser,
I couldn't help but think how perfect it would have been for the 'big surprise gift' on Christmas morning. It has all of the elements of a special gift. a). it's going to be a very welcome surprise b). the kids (or adults) will love it c). it's going to be around and used, for years to come.
Assembly was fairly simple. I'd say it took us about half an hour tops to get it together, and that includes the 5-7 minute break we took to get drinks and chill out for a few in the middle of the process. My son and I put this together, and it really wasn't hard at all. I'd say the most difficult part was keeping the cat out of the way, haha. If we're on the floor, she thinks that's her territory. Eh, who am I kidding, she knows every inch of this house is her territory. 😄
I did make sure to tighten everything my son put together, just in case (he's 11) but honestly, he did a great job and didn't even need me to do that! The bike comes with everything you need for assembly including a screwdriver, wrench and allen key.
When it was time to take it out, my son had a blast! This bike is so much fun! It's close to the ground, easy to maneuver, and it's unique, which in our book, makes it really awesome. I also want to let you know that it's really heavy-duty, so it's not likely to tip over while you're on it or making turns.
The picture above was taken just to show you how easy it is to adjust the Mobo Triton. You simply pull the round pin out (in my son's left hand) and pull the front wheel to line the holes up to where you want the length to be, then you drop the pin back into place. You can see there are quite a few holes in this adjustable steel frame, so this bike is definitely able to grow with your child.
It is a single-speed, free-wheel bike that is chainless (I love that it is chainless), and it has a hand caliper brake (in my son's right hand). The rear-wheel steering was smooth and very easy to handle. The flag in the back ensures others see you coming (and going), which is important when you are down that low.
One thing I do recommend though, is keeping it on the sidewalk, lolol!! The Mobo Triton comes in pink, silver, blue and red.
There's a Discount!

Looks comfortable. Reminds me of a Big Wheel, sort of.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an idea of gift on Christmas. Hope this festive season will bring you happiness in your life. Ameen
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool bike! My son would love this. I love that three-wheeled design. It's a beautiful piece of machinery.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of like a Big-Wheel for big kids!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good gift idea! Those are some fun looking wheels!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool trike! Looks very easy to assemble. Great gift idea!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun idea for this holiday gift giving season. I must own one!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect gift for your son and he's looks like he is enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a ton of fun. The kitty had to supervise haha
ReplyDeleteI love a big gift. So much fun to give your kids something unexpected and totally not practical. This looks really fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great idea! I can tell your kiddo was a good boy since Santa is very generous this year hahaha
ReplyDeleteJason has seen these before and swears he would have had one when he was little. He was really into bikes and was even on the news for one of his bikes when he was about your son's age. I like that it is chain-less. I imagine this is going to get a ton of use from your family, and all their friends!
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that assembly was easy! Looks like tons and tons of fun for kiddos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I would like to have one for myself too. I am petite enough to fit in one so why not? Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool looking bike, I've not really seen ones like this before. My boyfriends do that with their main present and don't wrap it up x
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing gift!!! Not only would I gift this to my son, I would love it for myself, too. Really glad your kids could enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh that does look good! I woudl love one like that, looks like a great place to curl up in!
ReplyDeleteMy son would absolutely love this! I love that you pointed out that it is easy to assemble because I want to find something that I don't have to spend hours trying to figure out what to put where.
ReplyDeleteWe had very similar Christmas practices. I love that the cat is helping with the project. We have very similar "helpers" as well.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first year I stayed up and helped put our ten speeds together. It was like a rite of passage and I felt like one of the "grown-ups".
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe in a few years time my husband and I are going to have to think about getting our son gifts like this!! I am due to give birth on the 25th - and it does NOT feel real but at all!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I am so jealous! Seriously, I always wanted something like this when I was little and I and envious! Lol
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice gift idea for my nephew! I hope I can buy one for him. Merry Christmas in advance!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I immediately wanted one for myself? The heck with the kids, LOL
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such an awesome Christmas gift. My kids are at the point where they would like this, but when they are old enough I definitely will have Santa bring this to them.
ReplyDeleteI definitely would love one for myself!
We are doing a 3 gift Christmas, and one of them will be from Santa. Cool idea to leave them unwrapped. My mom always used completely different wrapping paper on Santa gifts.
ReplyDeleteWe give a big gift too. Great gift idea!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a boy I would totally get this gift. It looks great and a whole lot of fun to put together. So cool.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great funny gift idea for kids. My son will definitely love this.
ReplyDeleteWe do the same thing with the big gift! My daughter would love a gift like this!
ReplyDeleteGood to get them moving too. Lovely gift. Never heard of this
ReplyDeleteThat looks very seriously cool. My nephews would love that.
