Skuut Balance Bike

Skuut Balance Bike Review



Skuut Balance Bike Feature

  • Its an ingeniously simple concept used in Europe for years
  • A chainless push bike that moves by foot power ("Flinstone" style)
  • Your child will first walk and then will begin to run with the bike
  • It's effective because it gives your child control over the learning process
  • Most important, the Skuut is designed with safety in mind
Built for kids ages 2-5, the Skuut is a pedal-less, chainless push bike that moves by foot power ("Flinstone" style). Its the perfect introduction to cycling because its specifically designed to complement the motor skills of young children, teaching balance and control at a much earlier age than traditional cycles with training wheels. The Skuut is a great confidence booster. From the very beginning your child can make independent progress, pushing along to discover how it works. In a short while he will lift his feet and begin moving forward, balancing and reveling in their new found mobility! They will NEVER need a bike with stabilizers, which prevent the development of balance. Your child will take to riding a bicycle instantly and naturally.

All parts are extremely robust and the body is made of heat-treated softwood and hardwood, coated with non-toxic lacquer. The saddle can be adjusted for height as your child grows. The steering is specially made so that kids cant turn to fast and tip over. Other safety features include Euro-styled wheels and no spokes (to prevent shoelace tangles). The Skuut come with a one-year guarantee - exceptional for a product aimed at young children!

A first bike invariably becomes a child's favorite toy. Children have an urge for movement and discovery and the Skuut enables them to playfully acquire coordination skills, foresight and agility. The feeling of riding alone is an exhilarating experience which helps to build self-confidence and safety. Whether they imagine it to be a copy of Dad's mountain bike or a pretend horse, the Skuut will play an important role as your child develops. And when it's outgrown, it becomes not just another old toy, but a lifelong reminder of childhood dreams...

About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

The CS600X cycling heart rate monitor.


By using colorful, detailed graphs, the ProTrainer 5 software brings to life data such as heart rate, power, GPS routes, speed, distance, cadence, duration, elevation and cycling efficiency.
When paired with the optional GPS sensor accessory, the CS600X enables you to record GPS mapping information, which is then viewed through Polar ProTrainer 5 software on Google Earth or any common GPS mapping software. GPS maps are color coded for heart rate zones, helping you see the relationship between performance, route and terrain--providing a powerful, visual window into cycling training. The CS600X also comes equipped with increased recording and memory capacity to facilitate more frequent data measurements of metrics such as power and heart rate.

Polar ProTrainer 5 software (for Windows), included with the CS600X, provides a completely customized, deeper understanding of your training. By using colorful, detailed graphs, the software brings to life data such as heart rate, power, GPS routes, speed, distance, cadence, duration, elevation and cycling efficiency.

  • Cycling Efficiency Index: Improvement in cycling efficiency (your energy expenditure converted into the power that propels the bike forward) indicates improved economy of cycling performance.
  • Polar OwnCal: Shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals.
  • Estimated Time of Arrival: Set the distance you are going to ride, and your cycling computer calculates the estimated time of arrival based on your cycling speed.
