the wooden toy by emanuel rufo is available in three colors: red, with the number 53 on the sides, green with the number 22, and blue with the number 09. in terms of characteristics, it allows turning the handlebars to both sides. it also includes a stick that can be embedded into the motorcycle, when in motion, working as a footrest, or it can be pushed to one side, serving as a lateral stand when the motorcycle is stopped.
the bottom of each motorcycle is engraved with the brand logo, name, and unique serial number. it also contains a CE marking, that certifies its suitability for children over 3 years old. FSC certified wood, acrylic paints and acrylic varnish especially suitable for children render the entire product sustainable.
