SCOTT Bikes

Go Places on Your SCOTT Bike

If you love getting exercise while you enjoy the fresh air and interesting scenery, consider getting a SCOTT bike. The company makes a variety of bicycles, so you can choose a model that fits your needs. eBay is the place to shop for new, used, and refurbished SCOTT bikes for sale.

There are dozens of models available on eBay, and they generally fall into the following categories:

• Mountain: Mountain bikes, such as the Spark RC or Gambler, are built for rugged terrain. They have flat handlebars to help with steering, and the tires are relatively wide and knobby so they can conquer dirt trails. You can find SCOTT bikes with full suspension or just a front suspension. Your choice would depend on whether you need the full suspension for increased stability on uneven paths filled with obstacles.
• Road: These are built to be lightweight and efficient. The handlebars are typically in the drop position so that your body can get into an aerodynamic position. SCOTT road bikes include the Addict and Speedster.
• Gravel/cyclocross: These bikes also have drop bars, but they can accommodate wider tires than road bikes can. This makes them more suited for a range of terrain.
• Trekking: If you're planning on taking long rides, consider getting a trekking bike, which can be set up with mudguards, lights, and a pannier rack for storage.

SCOTT has made several types of bikes for younger riders. You can go by wheel size to get an idea of what age a bike might be ideal for. See the manufacturer site for details. Examples of SCOTT bicycles for kids include:

• Contessa 24-inch Disc Bike: This SCOTT bicycle has a SR Suntour disc fork and a Shimano Tourney eight-speed derailleur.
• Scale 20-inch Rigid Bike: This bike, which has a rigid fork, is a seven-speed model. It uses Tektro disc brakes and has Kenda booster tires.
• Contessa 14-inch Bike: As an affordable junior coaster bike with a rigid frame, it's a great bicycle for someone learning to ride. It has a single speed for simplicity.
• Roxter Walker Bike: The Roxter is a walker bike without pedals. When kids use this bike, which has a rigid fork, they can learn how to balance on two wheels.
