Your child will be happy with such a homemade product, just remember to come up with steps and install a reliable brake system. If you are interested in the project, I propose to study it in more detail!
Materials and tools used by the author:
Material List:

- a cable with a handbrake handle from a bicycle;
- corner;
- bolts and nuts;
- round timber;
- plastic ties;
- spring.
Tool List:
- welding machine;

Homemade manufacturing process:
Step one. Experiment
First, turn the bike upside down and remove the left connecting rod with the pedal. Reduce the diameter of the axis with a grinder and grab the axis from the cartridge from. That's all, now try to spin the wheel. According to the speed of unwinding and speed, you can roughly estimate whether the bike will pull, but this is if you have experience.
Step Two Frame
Next, we need to make a separate frame for installing a screwdriver. In this matter, a grinder, a welding machine will help us, and we also need to find the corners. We weld the desired frame, you can weld it directly to the bicycle frame, or you can mount it with bolts and nuts.
Step Three Clutch
The author decided to make a special lever clutch, which will quickly and reliably connect a screwdriver. The clutch consists of levers, on each axis two levers. We weld a nut to the bicycle axis and weld two levers to it. Well, for a screwdriver, we weld the pins to the bolt.
Step Four Assembly
We are assembling a homemade product, for this we need to securely fasten the screwdriver, of course, it is advisable to do everything so that the screwdriver is easily removed. The author decided to fix the screwdriver with plastic ties.
We also need to equip the control, for this we need a cable and a handle for the hand brake of the bicycle. The cable must be installed so that when you press the lever around the button of the screwdriver, the loop is tightened. To loosen the loop, the author installed a spring on the cable.
After that, you can experience homemade work, but do not forget to make sure the brakes are working and put on at least a helmet on the child. The video shows how everything works, the bike rides without problems, the torque of the screwdriver is enough. This homework is completed, I hope you have found useful ideas and thoughts for yourself. Good luck and creative inspiration, if you decide to repeat this.
