A wooden bike for children ages 2 to 5. It has no pedals and no training wheels. Children kick off the ground as if running, thus pushing or "skuuting" 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. Easy to assemble and adjust.

Super easy to put together and lots of fun. I wish I had this since I must be the only person scared of falling off my own bike! LOL.

Excellent toy for 4 1'2 year old ready to learn to ride a two wheeled bike. Our grandson got on the skuut and immediately began gliding around on it. The only criticism is that the turning radius is so minimal that even in a fairly large basement he would have to stop the bike to lift it in order to negotiate the turn. His almost 3 year old twin siblings are also attempting to use the skuut, but require the seat at a lower height so they probably won't be able to use it much until their older brother is ready to ride his real bike outside in the Spring.

This is a great purchase. We bought it for our 3 year olds birthday. He liked it, but his 5 year old brother loved it! After a few months our 5 year old was riding his own bicycle without training wheels. It is great way to teach balance.

I purchased it for a 2 year old child, however their legs were not quite long enough to use the bike yet - despite using the lowest seat setting. However - my 4 year old child is certainly tall enough and has enjoyed testing it out till the 2 year old gets a bit more height. Watching my 4 year old try it out reminded me how little you learn about balance using a bike with training wheels - the skuut focuses on teaching that skill, and I was pleased to see my 4 year old struggle a bit to ride it - showing me that she is actually learning something in working to ride the skuut. In a few months I will let the 2 year old give the bike another try!

The bike is very nice but the back tire was flat with air leaking out of the tube. I realize I could have returned it but it was a gift and timing was important so I fixed it myself. I replaced the tube and it works. The bike is very well constructed but in order to use a tube they bend the valve so it is accessible to a regular pump. However, when you replace it with a regular tube that size the valve is straight so you have to have a very small pump nozzle .
