Suitable for children from 18 months to 5 years, this super lightweight bike is a great choice for little ones who won’t find it heavy or unwieldy. Our judges admired the 12" air wheels and rubber tyres, which ensure a lovely smooth ride and were particularly excited about the option to personalise this bike with over 40 super cool sticker designs and accessories like mini reg plates.

WINNER - SCOOTER MANUFACTURER OF THE YEAR 2023: LIFERYDER LTD

Based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, LIFERYDER is a scooter (D2C) manufacturing business owned and managed by two dads, Allan and Chris. The partners first met as engineering apprentices at British Aerospace and have extensive experience in the precision engineering and manufacturing industry. Uninspired by the scooter choices available, they set out to make a new scooter, one that was “Made in the UK” and built to last with the ability to grow and change with the rider’s individuality.

Drawing inspiration from their children, Allan and Chris have designed, developed and patented the LIFERYDER Infinity kid’s scooter using recyclable composite materials. This durable and eco-friendly big wheel scooter is suitable for children between the ages of five and 15 years, and allows them to enjoy the physical benefits of riding a scooter while also promoting an environmentally-conscious mentality. The Infinity kid’s scooter has been designed to be fully adjustable for riders between 110 and 160cm tall and with a maximum weight of 50kg, making it an ideal choice for children within the target age group. Additionally, the scooter’s design is customisable, and graphics can be easily replaced and “switched up” as the child grows.

" THE JUDGES WERE PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED BY LIFERYDER’S ABILITY TO ACTUALLY MANUFACTURE AND RETAIL THE SCOOTER RIGHT FROM THEIR OWN FACILITY BASED IN COTTINGHAM, EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE".

WINNER OF BEST BIKE/SCOOTER DESIGN: GOLD

WHO: LIFERYDER
WHAT: Infinity Scooter
WHY: This scooter got a lot of love from our judges who all admired the cool design, the sturdy but lightweight frame and the all-terrain wheels. When the panel discovered that these stylish scooters are designed and produced here in the UK and are all the work of a small, two family run business, they were amazed. Every detail has been well thought out with this scooter and the fact that it’s foldable and suitable for children all the way through, from 5 to 15 years, really impressed. Perhaps the most exciting feature though, is that these wheels are fully customisable and each scooter comes with over 35 different graphics for you to stick onto the frame for a totally unique look. The stickers can then be peeled off and replaced when the rider wants a brand new vibe. Genius! 

"A super cool, long lasting scooter that kids will love to personalise."

Bonita Turner, Editor of Junior

"This scooter will save parents so much money as it grows with your child from 5 to 15 years old. It also folds down for transporting and storage. Really clever."

Eleonore Crompton, Contributing Editor, Junior

"The peel off stickers are a brilliant idea."

Charlotte Kewley, Children’s Stylist

"I absolutely love the customisable stickers for this scooter and that you can change the look. There are so many different options too not just a couple. I also really love the fact it is made in the UK and that it is a two family business."

Chloe Thurston, Stylist and Influencer @chloeuberkids
