The Skuut is a wooden bicycle for children ages 2 - 5 up to 70 pounds. It has 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.
Without pedals and training wheels, kids intuitively learn to refine their handling skills by first ''walking'' the bike along.
As their confidence and abilities improve, kids can lengthen their strides and increase the amount of time their feet are off the ground, resulting in more ''Wheee!'' time.
Braking is accomplished by simply putting feet down on the ground.
The simple 3-piece design is made from birch wood and coated with a nontoxic lacquer; assembly is easy and takes just minutes.
Steering angles are limited so that children don't accidentally turn too hard and crash.
The seat is easily adjustable so children of all sizes can ride the Skuut.
The bike weighs about 10 lbs, and is well distributed, so it is easy to carry when your toddler tires out.
The adjustable seat ranges from just over 13.5 inches to 16.5 inches high, fitting most 2-5 year olds.
The 12 inch air tires are pneumatic rubber. They can tolerate up to 40PSI, but we suggest 20-25 PSI for best shock absorption.
