*Meet the Rock Star of Balance Bikes: The world-renowned Ridgeback SCOOT XL Balance Bike is designed to meet the challenging demands of kids age 4-7. Scoot's perfectly proportioned 6061 aluminum frame provides the best fit for comfort and control. Scoot's rear hand brake provides an early understanding of how to safely slow down and stop. Supplied with two seatposts for a seat range of 16" to 22", Scoot accommodates children age 4 to 7. The handsomely stitched saddle incorporates a handy carrying handle for convenience and Scoot's domed wheel nuts and alloy V-brake complete the safety package. *How Scoot works: Without the complication of pedals, children are able to narrow their focus on stabilizing themselves and walking the bike. With a little practice, children sit on the saddle and gradually propel themselves with more confidence and speed. Eventually, forward momentum becomes sufficient to overcome gravity and balance is achieved! Ridgeback Scoot is well equipped for kids to safely practice shifting their body weight and correctly leaning into corners at speed. Once momentum, balance and cornering are mastered, proceeding to a conventional bike with pedals (without training wheels) is a simple formality. Congratulations! Scoot is going to build your child's confidence, place them years ahead of their peers, and put them on the fast track to successful bike riding. *Specifications & Safety Features: *6061 Aluminum Alloy Frame *Inflated rubber all-terrain bmx tires *Aluminum 14" wheels and full bearing hubs *Rounded dome nuts on wheels *Aluminum V-brake *Adjustable reach brake lever *Internally routed brake cable *Finely upholstered saddle with carrying handle *Quick release seatpost clamp *Two seatposts included! one short one long *Weight: 11.7 pounds *Seat height range: 16" to 22" *Handlebar height range: 21" to 23" *Some adult assembly required.

Super Scoot!
We ordered this balance bike for our tall 3 year old. He's had a fun time getting used to the hand brake, which his old baby balance bike didn't have. He really likes how he can go on bumpy surfaces and big cracks in the sidewalks without getting his wheels stuck- because they are just like real bike wheels! Overall, we're very happy with this bike. It really has a lot of adjust-ability, so as he grows he can continue to use it. Just right for him! We haven't installed the cute little bell yet, but it has a nice ring and once he gets the basics down we'll add it on. Well made, durable product and will certainly be able to pass along to another kid when he's done. Yay bikes!

Pleased so far as a parent - even though my boys are somewhat unsure
Seems to be a really quality product. I read great reviews on other sites as well. Was super easy to assemble and I really like how easy it is to adjust the seat height. I only wish it had a place for them to put their feet as they learn to glide. My boys who are familiar with pedaling on trikes are a little confused about how to ride these so far. But I'm hoping they'll grow to like them more. Wish I would have started them earlier with them.

Perfect as my son turned 5!
This bike is just what I was hoping for- sturdy, comfy and bigger than the balance bike we got my son originally at age 3. He loves it and it looks and rides great!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!! (also the packaging was cool- very easy to assemble with super simple, clear instructions)

Great balance bike for my son!
I bought this bike for my 3.5 year old. The bike works great and he very much enjoys riding it every day. It is of very good quality, sturdy yet not heavy. It took me a while to figure out how to assemble it but it was not too bad. I am sure he will use it for a few years to come and then pass on to his cousin.I highly recommend this bike and this brand!

If you need a great balance bike - buy Scoot)
Just a great bike! The first one was Strider Classic. Nothing comparable to the Scoot. This one has all the features for the price. My 3.7 y.o. son loves it. Always ready to ride. Great quality! Worth the price.

Great bike
I bought this for my 5 year old son.. he had tried a balance bike when he was younger but it never worked out for us. He was so frustrated and liked his scooter instead. This bike is much better quality and comfortable. On the first day, he was riding and gliding along like he’d had this bike for years. Now we are going on longer rides. I’m sure a transition to a real bike will be this year. I’m glad I tried this bike with him... it made him love riding his bike!

Strong bike, well made
I received the bike and the breaks were slightly too tight, touching the tires. I called and I must be the only person who experienced this. Bike shopped tweaked them and the bike has been great. Couldn’t be better made.

Perfect
Perfect for my son that would rather balance bike than peddle bike.
