“Kids can’t get enough of the Skuut….”Gentry magazine, Dec, 2006

We bought Skuut bikes for our two daughters, ages two and four, about two months ago and they are a huge hit. Both girls mastered balancing, coasting, turning and propelling themselves on the Skuuts in a short period. They have learned balance far better than they did on their “big girl” bikes with training wheels. As a bonus, the wipe-outs on the Skuut bikes are far less frequent and much less consequencial (when they feel themselves tipping over, they just put a foot down and they stop). The result is that girls are developing their skills faster and having more fun. This is a great, safe way to teach your child to ride and a fun toy as well. E. Stanton.

”You have re-stored my faith in the online consumer system…. My son who was just recently diagnosed with Autism, has found a extremely important outlet for his energy in the “skuut” bike. It only took one ride for him to become “hooked” on riding it. After a unfortunately accident that let his beloved skuut broken. I was extremely surprised and thrilled to find that this company not only responded quickly but also stands behind their product 100%. I know that there are cheaper knock-off out there but in terms of quality and customer service, I will always recommend the SKUUT to everyone I meet… You guys rock, Thanks for bringing some need joy into my son’s and my life. “Kelli

“Way less scary than a traditional two-wheeler (and less likely to produce scraped knees), the Skuut also teaches steering, coordination, and independence. It usually takes a week or two to figure out how to coast, but once kids get it, you’ll have a hard time getting them to stop.”The Daily Candy

“…the Skuut wooden bike gives preschoolers the big-kid riding experience, as well as a leg up on the competition: Its design helps youngsters forgo the awkward “training wheel” period altogether.”7 x 7 Magazine

The Skuut was named one of the Best Educational Toys of 2006 by Savvy Picks: ”I can see it already - our kids will puzzle over a set of training wheels the same way they’ll be stumped by what a rotary phone or a vinyl record is. Another sign that the world has spun right past us children of the, ahem, last century. Sigh. But what lucky kids these are: this wonderful wooden bicycle without pedals - the Skuut - is a true delight. Kids just hop on and use their feet to push off, first walking it along, then mastering the two-wheel balance and then “skuut-ing” or gliding and coasting. As the website says, brakes are “Fred Flintstone-style” (meaning of course that the rider’s two little feet just touch the ground to slow the Skuut down). It’s every bit as charming as the shiny red bike we daydreamed of so many decades ago, and it has none of the frustrations of training wheels and too-short legs and that strange exhilarated terror that your mom or dad might actually let go of the back before you had the thing balanc ed. Your little one will be happily on the move immediately, learning balance, coordination and steering while enjoying the pure joys of a first bike ride. The Skuut version of the European-style pedal-less bike is very well-made, a snap to assemble and especially reasonable in price. But save your training wheels … maybe they’ll be worth something on eBay someday as a collector’s item. (Ages 2-5)”
