With John Crane Scooters, style is just as important as how the scooter works and what it can do. For this reason, these scooters are some of the best gifts for style conscious boys and girls on the market, and will look just as great to parents as to children, meaning they are proud to take them out and about!

John Crane Scooters are a little different from standard scooters, on which a child will stand on the deck and move themselves along with one foot. These scooters are built more like a vintage motorcycle and will give kids the opportunity to enjoy a different type of ride on which gives a new and exciting experience. The scooters are also designed to help with balance, and so make the perfect first step towards learning to ride a bike. One of the most difficult elements to riding a bike for the first time is getting your balance. If you can learn to pedal and steer with stabilisers then this is a good way to start, but the part that kids find most frustrating is learning to get their balance and feel safe taking their feet off the floor on only two wheels. John Crane Scooters are purely about learning to do this safely and in a fun way, so kids can get used to the sensation before they take the next step and get on a full sized bike.

One of the best John Crane Scooters is the Balance Bike. The red version looks just like a little Italian scooter, with a retro design that looks gorgeous but is still easy to ride.  The wooden frame is comfortable and easy to manage, not being too heavy for smaller children, and it has a comfortable seat which allows your child to move their legs freely whilst still enjoying the ride. The Balance Bike has high handlebars with easy grips to allow your child to feel secure and steer easily and pneumatic tyres for an easy ride on all terrains.

The Balance Bike works by your child scooting themselves along with their feet, and when they reach a certain speed, or head down a hill they’ll be able to lift their feet off the ground and steer the bike along as they whizz along, helping them to feel secure at any speed and really get their balance centered. Once they have learned this skill, you’ll find the move to full sized bikes isn’t nearly as frightening for your child.

The Balance Bike also comes in pink, perfect for little girls who want a more stylish alternative that they can show off to friends, or bright yellow which is a visually appealing colour that will make them feel a little sunnier and happier whenever they get on their scooter!
