Information
The Skuut is a wooden bike for children ages 2 - 6. It has no pedals and no training wheels. Children kick off the ground as if running, thus pushing or “skoot-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 training wheels!).
The Skuut is only $179 with FREE SHIPPING anywhere in Australia! Scroll to the bottom of the page for Shipping and Delivery Information, as well as terms and conditions FAQ.

Is there assembly required?
- The Skuut comes fully assembled except for the seat post, handlebars and front wheel, which are easily attached. Instructions and Allen/Hex keys are provided.
What are the tires made of?
- The tires are pneumatic rubber with a regular 12 inch tube. They can tolerate up to 40PSI, but we suggest 20-25 PSI for best shock absorption. The valves are typical tyre valves - a regular bicycle pump will pump them up.
Is there a warranty?
- We guarantee all Skuuts to be free of manufacturing defects for up to one year.
Care of your Skuut.
- Skuuts are pretty hardy, but when your Skuut gets wet or has been to the beach, do clean it off with a moist cloth, and dry it. It shouldn’t be left outside in the rain or direct sun.
How do you pronounce Skuut?
- (skoot) as in boot, loot, scoot
Shipping and Delivery Info
- Skuuts are sent via Australia Post - often the same day that you order, almost always within one business day of your order.
- The box is clearly marked (photos etc) so if your Skuut needs to be a surprise, you might consider an alternate
delivery address.
