About Us
OUR HISTORY
Thanks for visiting Bike and Scoot. There are real people behind this website 🙂 We are a family of 4 living in Wisconsin that truly love biking, riding scooters, trail running and the outdoors. We got into balance bikes when my youngest son was 3 years old; back in 2009. Over the years we operated 2 online bike stores, ride on toy store and a pro scooter shop. There aren’t many kids bikes or balance bikes that we haven’t sold; which gives us some great knowledge to pass onto our readers.
