SCOOT by Ridgeback Launching Two New Colors and MORE

The Scoot balance bike by Ridgeback has exploded in popularity since it's launch in September, and it's little wonder. At just a smidgen over 11 pounds, with it's slick aluminum frame, it's 200 lb weight limit, and best in class seat range of 13-20", it leaves opponents looking pretty weak. Also, SCOOT is not a toy! It's a real bike built by a leading UK bike manufacturer that has been producing bikes for UK and Europe for 30 years! Another thing that Ridgeback is not: a one-trick pony! If you have time to peruse their immense selection of family, commuter, mountain, and leisure bicycles, it's plain to see that they have been in the business of bike building for a very long time. Other brands? Who knows? Many claim to have invented the balance bike but all they are doing is masquerading their band-wagoning as inventiveness. Not cool. Ridgeback makes no such claims, and instead they simply offer what we like to call "The Rock Star of Balance Bikes".
So long story short, the WeeBikeShop company has been appointed as exclusive US distributor for Ridgeback cycling products and they are about to launch two amazing new colors for the SCOOT balance bike: Gloss turquoise and Gloss yellow. Additionally, the new SCOOT XL is due for US launch in spring 2014. It has the 14" wheels and the extended seat height range to make balance bike experience possible for kids up to age 8. WeeBikeShop has also launched a Scoot PREMIUM customization program where parents and children can easily upgrade the Scoot with a selection of multi-color handlebars, hand grips, aluminum seat posts, and superior Schwalbe tires which reduce the Scoot's weight to about 9.5 pounds!

Scoot PREMIUM shown with upgraded alloy cockpit, Schwalbe Black Jack tires, and  ODI BMX grips.

Ridgeback SCOOT UK Balance Bike Makes a Splash in the US

In stock in the US in 8 vibrant colors, and shipping NOW!

Ridgeback SCOOT Balance Bike is designed to meet the challenging demands of kids age 3-6.

Perfectly proportioned to provide the best fit for comfort and control.

Balance is quickly learned without the distraction of pedaling!

The transition between walking, freewheeling and steering is simple. The SCOOT's rear brake establishes early understanding of how to slow down. Once balance is mastered, it's then just a small step to move on to a bike with pedals, but without the need for stabilizers (training wheels). Supplied with two seatposts for widest sizing range, SCOOT has a very high quality specification level including a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, aluminum wheels and inflated rubber tires. The saddle incorporates a handy carrying handle for parents, and with full bearings throughout, domed wheel nuts as well as an alloy V-brake, the SCOOT is for the kid who has everything.
