There's something about a bright green bike that just makes a child want to get outside.
The Go Go Green finish on this Ridgeback Scoot bike is the kind of colour that doesn't sit quietly in the hallway, and for most two to five-year-olds, that's precisely the point.
The Ridgeback Scoot Balance Bike is built around what actually helps young children learn to ride: a lightweight aluminium frame that stays around 5kg, low enough to the ground for small riders to feel stable, and 12-inch air-filled rubber tyres that cope with whatever a typical British park or garden throws at them.
Grass, gravel, damp paths, the Scoot handles them without the slipping and skidding that plagues cheaper Scoot kids' bikes with hard plastic wheels.
The rear hand brake is internally cabled and fitted with a lever that small hands can actually reach and squeeze. It's a simple thing, but it means your child arrives at their first pedal bike already knowing how to stop.
Two seat posts are included, letting you adjust the fit as your child grows between 90cm and 105cm. For parents who'd rather buy one solid Ridgeback bicycle than replace a cheap one every year, that adjustability makes a real difference.
The Ridgeback Scoot balance bike in Go Go Green is for the child who wants to be seen coming from the other end of the street.
