Summertime Bike Riding Just Got Better For Kids
The Toot Scoot is a bike intended for children ages 2-5. Designed in Wichita by Buck Hale, it was created with no pedals or training wheels. Children sit on the seat while pushing off the ground with their feet, scooting themselves and the bike forward. If your child can walk, they can ride! The Toot Scoot is a fun way to teach children balance and coordination. Because the child is not concentrating on pedaling, they are learning to balance first as opposed to bicycles with training wheels where the child learns to pedal first and balance last.
The Toot Scoot weighs exactly seven pounds and is constructed of steel tubing. There are chrome accents on the bike and round, rubber cushioned handle bar grips. The rubber helps to prevent scratching walls and protects the Toot Scoot when dropped. The wheels are made out of a durable plastic rubber material which means no need to fill tires with air. Also, the Toot Scoot has wider than normal wheels, making it easier for a child to balance on the bike. The handle bar and seat are both adjustable.
The original Toot Scoot was created by Buck for his one-year-old son as a Christmas gift. Buck rides BMX bikes as well as races motocross and wanted to see his son on a bike as soon as he could. Seth, Bucks son, soon started associating himself with the bike, playing with the wheels and pushing around on the bike. Not long after this Seth was a pro, whizzing around and constantly stealing attention at every park they went to. According to Buck, watching your child ride so well at such a young age “is the equivalent of watching your child walk for the first time.”
With friends and passer bys constantly asking Buck where they could find a Toot Scoot for their child, or if he would make them one, he decided that this could be a successful product to sell. Having always had the idea in the back of his mind, Buck contacted some manufacturers and producers and began the process of the Toot Scoot. After nine months of collaborating with the manufacturer over drawings and prototypes, the Toot Scoot was finally born.
