Scott Kids Bikes

Port Melbourne Cycles stocks Scott kids bikes for young riders moving up to 20-inch and 24-inch wheels. The range covers the lightweight Contrail for everyday riding, the Roxter mountain bike with suspension and hydraulic disc brakes, and the Scale Pro 400 hardtail for kids who want to ride proper trails. Every bike is built and checked in our workshop before it goes home.

Which Scott Kids Bike Is Right for Your Child?

Start with the type of riding. For school runs, bike paths and the local park, the Contrail is the simplest choice. It is light, so kids can pedal, steer and lift it easily, and a kickstand comes on the 20-inch model. If your child rides dirt tracks, BMX paths or bush trails, the Roxter adds a suspension fork and hydraulic disc brakes, which need less hand strength to stop. Meanwhile, the Scale Pro 400 is for confident riders who want a lighter, more race-focused mountain bike.

Choosing Between 20-Inch and 24-Inch Wheels

Kids bikes are sized by wheel diameter rather than frame size. As a general guide, 20-inch bikes suit younger primary-school riders and 24-inch bikes suit older children before they move to an adult small frame. Your child should be able to stand over the bike with both feet flat and reach the brake levers comfortably. For example, the Roxter 200 has a standover height of 317 mm, while the Roxter 400 is 350 mm. In short, if your child is between sizes, talk to us and we can help you choose.

Built to Last, Easy to Pass On

Scott uses alloy frames and quality parts from Shimano, SR Suntour, Tektro and Schwalbe across the range. As a result, these bikes hold up to years of use and are easy to service, and a well-kept Scott kids bike is easy to hand down to a younger brother or sister. Our workshop can service your child’s bike as they grow; see service and repairs for details.
