Our Infinity scooters are designed for girls and boys between the ages 5yrs to 15yrs. 

This is only guidance as we know everyone is different in stature and ability. We use height and weight to help parents gauge suitability. Our INFINITY scooter is Class B rated = 50kg max weight.

If your child measures between 110cm to 160cm tall and weighs between 20kg and 50kg you will be totally fine. As a rule of thumb the handlebars should be set no lower than the rider's waist height.

There are 3 handlebar height settings measured from the foot deck of the scooter (Min 75cm - Mid 80cm - Max 85cm). Measure the height of your child's waist from the floor to help gauge suitability.

Please note with our background in engineering we have designed and tested our scooters to be very strong. Although this is not an adult scooter, we have had reports of adults riding the scooters (shame on you :-) with weights over 50kg without issues. 

Disclaimer: LIFERYDER Ltd accept no liability for accident, damage or injury to person(s) using our scooter(s) whom are outside the recommended usage weight and height guidelines. 

Our Vogue Balance Bike is designed for children between the ages of 18 months - 5yrs.

Guidelines: We use inseam height and weight to help parents gauge suitability. The balance bike has an adjustable seat height range of between 32cm - 45cm from the floor (also known as inseam height range) and a max rider weight of 30kg.

The best way to determine your childs inseam height is to use the book and wall measurement method.

With shoes off, have your child stand against a wall, place a book between their legs, and then slowly raise the book up until it reaches their crotch. Now measure the distance between the floor and the top of the book, this is their inseam height.

If your childs weight and inseam measurement is within the guidelines shown above you are good to go.. Yay! Happy trails, Adventures await :-)

If your child can walk, chances are they can start to learn how to ride a balance bike. Between 18 months and 2 years old is the ideal age for kids to start. This is the average age range when a child is physically and developmentally ready to start balancing a bike.

Yes, but don't worry. Our clever design makes it easy to assemble. It's just like LEGO...you might actually enjoy it :-)

Every scooter and balance bike is supplied with an easy to follow detailed step-by-step instruction manual. 

Wheels and tyres come fully fitted and inflated.

No, but fear not... we want you to decorate your ride because this is what makes it personal.

The graphics are made from a special durable "adhesive back" material which is easy to apply and can be removed and re-positioned multiple times. 

As and when the rider gets older or fancies a change of style, the graphics can be removed and replaced with a new design!

Each graphic has its own identification number and a corresponding position on the product. All the graphics are pre-cut to shape.

Don't worry if you don't get them positioned perfectly the first time, just peel them off and try again.

No, but it's for good reason...

Balance bikes simplify the learning process of riding a bike for young children by allowing them to focus on devoloping one skill at a time. This avoids the complexity of mastering pedaling, balancing, steering, and pulling brake levers all at once, which can be very challenging for 18-month to 2-year-olds. Including a mechanical brake at this stage of learning can lead to confusion, accidents and a false sense of security for parents.

Children gradually progress from sitting stationary on the bike with their feet on the ground to moving their feet forward while practicing balance and steering. This approach greatly improves their experience whilst developing motor skills and co-ordination.

Balance bikes rely on children using their feet for both propulsion and stopping. The primary focus is on developing balance and learning to use body weight for steering and stopping.

Due to safety regulations we do not supply valve / dust caps with our balance bikes as they are labelled as age appropriate for children under 3 years of age.

Dear LIFERYDER Family,

We're reaching out with an important update. Starting 1st January 2024, the price of our products will rise by 3.7%. This is due to the significant increase in energy and material costs impacting our manufacturing & operations over the last few years.

We've held our prices steady for over two years, but this modest increase is now necessary to continue delivering the quality and sustainability you expect from us. We're sharing this news in advance to help you plan ahead, and to offer a chance to purchase at the current prices before the end of the year.

Your understanding means a lot to us, and we're committed to continually providing top-notch products and experiences. Thanks for being part of the LIFERYDER journey.

Kindest  Regards,

Team LR

Currently we are shipping to the following EU countries; Ireland, Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain & Italy.

Due to UK export restrictions orders are restricted to a maximum cart value of £135 GBP (150Euros). VAT will not be charged on any orders being exported. This amount will be removed automatically at time of checkout. For more than one scooter please make multiple orders.

At checkout please select your country from the drop down menu before entering your address.

Delivery costs to Europe by (DPD fully tracked 5-8 day road service) from £18 per scooter.

IMPORTANT: Our EU Shipping terms are DAP (Delivered-at-place). Meaning you are responsible to pay all import duties & taxes (VAT) along with any admin fees charged locally by the destination customs. You will be contacted by DPD by email/text to collect these fees when the goods arrive in your country, before delivery is made to you.

If we are running any promotions these will be displayed via a banner at the top on our main website page. If you don't see this then unfortunately there are currently no active promotions. 

Please Note: We do not work with any 3rd party coupon or discount code websites. Any found here will be most likely fake and will not work. 

Please note: the delivery charge reduces when buying multiple products, this is calculated automatically at checkout.

Unfortunately as a small family run UK business we are unable to offer these discounts. Hopefully this maybe something we can offer in the future as and when our business grows.

Please note this is not a fast folding scooter. Our folding design allows the frame to fold for compact transportation, for example when taking on holiday's or in the boot of a car etc...

In order to fold the scooter you need to undo two bolts and remove one completely using the hex key provided.

The procedure is really straight forward and is explained in visual step by step detail within the owners manual provided.

Yes, we want to help keep costs down and lower our carbon footprint as much as possible. Click & Collect in person is an option available from our manufacturing facility based in Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire,  this option is displayed during the checkout process. You can select a date and time to suit you and our address is shown here too. 

Please note:  We require 24hrs to prepare Click & Collect orders and due to health and safety measures, members of the public are strictly not allowed to visit our premises without a prior appointment.

Our Scooters are not designed for stunts or tricks they are all terrain cruisers. 

Small jumps, wheelies and bunny hops are achievable but the "anti jack-knife" steering mechansim restricts the handlebars from fully rotating 360 degrees, this makes them safer for younger riders but not really suitable for tricks.

No, all our scooters are human powered, batteries are not required :-)

We encourage children to go out, play and burn off energy, its good for their mind, body and soul.

Yes, we have a no-hassle returns policy for any unused products which are intact in their original packaging and have not been assembled/stickers applied.

Please note: We do not refund any shipping costs.

For detailed information on this please read our Returns & Refunds Policy, found within paragraph 7 of our Standard Terms and Conditions.

Want make a return?

In order to make a return simply complete our online returns form found here

Yes, all our scooters come with a 12 month warranty as standard. 

Parts that wear out during use are excluded, such as; tyres, innertubes, brakes, bearings etc..

Yes, all parts are available. 

The main consumable items are available to buy via our online store here.

If you've done a bit of damage or lost a part which isnt listed just drop us a message through our contact page and well get you hooked up :-)

Unfortunately not, we are online sales only at present. We encourage people to visit our Facebook page to read all the "real life" reviews and recomendations in order to help in making a purchasing decision.

Please note: Although we offer a click and collect service at our manufacturing facility,  due to health and safety measures, members of the public are not allowed to visit without a prior appointment.

No sorry... but don't panic, the provided "step-by-step" assembly instructions are very easy to follow... similar to a LEGO set.

By assembling the scooter yourself you benefit by understanding its construction and thus making it easy during any maintenance or if any handlebar adjustments are required in the future.

If for any reason the above is still out of your realm, we recommend contacting your local bicycle shop before purchase, as many of the mechanics are happy to carry out the assembly for a small charge.

Hopefully you soon! We aim to build a wider community of LIFERYDER's, please share your adventure pics on our social media pages. 

See Our Story for more information about us or visit our Facebook page for real life customer reviews and pics...

We currently do not offer scooters for adults, however with our background in engineering, design and manufacture we are looking into this for the future...watch this space!

The silver (aluminium) scooters shown in the promo video and some photographs were limited edition early prototypes.

Unfortunately they are not available to purchase.

The images shown in the store are representative of the scooters now on sale made from our special black composite material.

A composite is a material combining two or more materials with different physical and chemical properties. 

When they are combined they create a material which is specialised to do a certain job, for instance to become stronger and lighter. They can also improve durability and stiffness too.

Every part of the INFINITY scooter is replaceable, so you can enjoy many years of use. They're also designed to be fully recycled too. This is part of the circular economy principal.

Broken or damaged parts and even complete scooters which have reached the end of their service life can be sent back to us. We can then turn them into brand new parts, so no LIFERYDER scooter should ever be unnecessarily disposed of.

Even the tyres we use are made from recycled rubber, look out for the "Green Guard" logo on the side walls.

Finally, all our packaging is made from cardboard and is designed to be fully recycled too.

Hey there future LIFERYDER!  With the festive season upon us, we understand that many are seeking the best value in their holiday shopping this upcoming BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY. 

We've all felt the pinch of rising costs this year haven't we? However, despite this we are very proud that we've not raised our prices in over two years, absorbing the rising costs of energy and materials in order to avoid passing them on, because just like you we know how tough current times are for your family.  

So, instead of flashy sales that come and go or Black Friday discounts, we guarantee our prices won't change this year on any of the products we sell. 

This means if you decide to buy from us today, you won't see the price suddenly drop tomorrow ! We're all about value and quality no matter what the time of the year! 

So Don't miss out! Our scooters and balance bikes are zooming off the shelves, and if history repeats itself, we're looking at a sell-out. Secure yours today to ensure your little one's joy isn't on backorder!

We are all in this together and really appreciate you sticking with us and supporting our small UK family business.

Adventure awaits, enjoy the journey ...

Love Team LR.

Yes, our packaging does show whats inside the box...so it maybe worthwhile making sure that the "lucky person/s" are not close by when the courier rings the doorbell! 

PLEASE NOTE: We advise building the scooter/balance bike in advance of the big day or to at least check all the box contents beforehand to allow us plenty of time to get any problems rectified if necessary.
