While moving and learning is beneficial for all students, it can be especially beneficial to kinesthetic learners, students who have a difficult time remaining focused, and students with ADD or ADHD. We’ve even had teachers tell us that their worst students became their best students by simply pedaling while learning with the Unity Kids Bike Desk.

Alongside the behavioral benefits, there is a significant amount of research stating that the average student, regardless of age, needs to move their bodies every 20–30 minutes. Movement helps maintain focus, stores information into memory, activates both of the brain’s hemispheres, and can prevent feeling overwhelmed. By integrating pedal desks into the classrooms, students move and learn simultaneously, ensuring students achieve the proper amount of movement without taking time away from learning.
