Small children love moving around and this fun first bike by Skuut enables them to independently move within the framework of their own capabilities and learn all the skills needed for riding a 'big bike'! The Skuut can be anything kids want it to be - a shiny Harley, fast racing horse or just their favorite Skuut bike - having fun walking, gliding, riding and skuuting around.

The Skuut bike is light weight, making it easy to take along on outings or vacations. Skuut is also designed with your child's safety in mind:

How do you Skuut?
It is very easy to skuut. Sitting on the Skuut, kids first walk the Skuut bike forward with their feet - tilting to one side or the other and their feet catch them like training wheels would.

How old does a child have to be to ride the Skuut?

How tall does your child need to be to control the Skuut comfortably?
Our two year old is about 40 inches tall and his feet are just about flat on the floor when the seat is in the lowest position on the Skuut.
BUT - The innovative design of the Skuut allows you to assemble the Skuut with the middle bar upside down, lowering the seat by several inches when assembled - allowing children with shorter legs to be comfortable on the Skuut.
Please note small children may be reluctant to learn riding the Skuut if their feet are not flat on the ground when on the Skuut. They need to feel secure and confident since they are still developing their balance and having both feet securely on the ground give them the confidence they need to explore the different riding styles Skuut has to offer.
