Skuut

Read reviews (2)


Remember your first bike ride? Exhilarating!

The Skuut brings all the exhilaration of learning to ride a bike with no training wheels... for two to five year olds.

The Skuut is a wooden balance bike with no pedals and no training wheels. Children kick off the ground as if running, thus pushing or "skuut-ing" themselves and the bike forward. The Skuut is perfect for learning balance, steering, coordination and independence. Having mastered balance on the Skuut, the transition to a traditional two wheeler bike is easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does Skuut mean?
(skoot) n. An attractive wooden bike without pedals for young children.
v. To push forward and glide with glee on aforementioned wooden bike.

2. How do you pronounce Skuut?
(skoot) Skuut rhymes with hoot, toot and boot. Use it as in "It's a hoot to Skuut!"

3. How do you Skuut?
It is amazingly intuitive. Sitting on the Skuut, kids first walk the bike forward. As they go faster they stride with feet off the ground for longer and longer periods of time, ultimately being able to pull both feet off the ground and coast. At first they tilt to one side or the other and their feet catch them like training wheels or a tripod would. Very quickly balance becomes second nature and they can coast for yards with their feet off the ground. Braking is done Fred Flintstone style: just put your feet down and stop.

4. How long does it take to learn?
Our children were able to walk/ride the first time they sat down. They were able to coast with their feet up after a week or two. Learning curves are different for different children.

5. How old does a child have to be to ride the
Skuut?
The Skuut is designed for children ages 2- 5.

6. Is there assembly required?
The Skuut comes fully assembled except for the handlebars and front wheel, which are easily attached. Instructions are provided. All you need is a screwdriver.

7. Is the seat adjustable?
The seat is easily adjustable so children of all sizes  can ride the Skuut.

9. Is there a warranty?
The manufacturer guarantees all Skuuts to be free of manufacturing defects for up to one year.

10. How much does The Skuut balance bike weigh?
The bike weighs about 10 lbs, and is well-distributed, so it is easy to carry when your toddler tires out.

11. How high up is the seat?
The adjustable seat ranges from just over 13.5 inches to 16.5 inches high, fitting most 2-5 year olds.

12. What are the tires made of?
The tires are pneumatic rubber. They can tolerate up to 40 PSI, but we suggest 20-25 PSI for best shock absorbtion.
