It’s probably the best quality children’s bicycle that I’ve ever assembled! The attention to detail is good and the paint finish is superb, we’re giving it to our Grandson tomorrow as he’s mastered his Scoot (also Ridgeback) balance bike.

First ride impressions - after an initial slow start, within ten minutes he was wizzing round the park with his parents running alongside him. The low standover height and child sized, proper (Promax) brake levers have certainly helped. 
At a r.r.p. of £229.99 it’s a bargain, pump track next weekend!

Kids bikes are the best kind of NBD posts. 

Can he do wheelies yet? 🚵💨

@tthew no, he can’t do wheelies yet but his confidence boost from the new pump track last week on his balance bike was what persuaded us to buy the bike. We’ve not pushed him as his Dad is into football, however, he’s not shown much interest in that and he couldn’t be stopped today. He hadn’t pedalled before but off he went, my daughter and her partner are exhausted from following him around. He’s set for life now with a useful skill!

Sorry for the triple post, the whole site locked up, showing half pages and a whirling wheel!

Ha, I assumed you were just excited. And rightly so!
