Frequently Asked Questions

Have they been safety tested?

Wheelybugs have been certified tested to EU, US, AU/NZ and JP standards.

How much can it carry, can I sit on it?

The maximum recommended rider weight is 25kg; however each wheel is rated at 30kg giving a total safe working load of 120kg!! Adults can happily take a spin on them, or they make a very handy low mobile stool!

Can they be used outside?

Any smooth, flat surface is suitable. However keep them away from dirt or sand as this can get into the castors and slow them down. Also do not leave the toy outside in the rain or direct sunshine for long periods as this can damage the surfaces.

Can they be used on pavers?

They will run on pavers but the castors may become damaged in time. Don’t worry; replacements can be purchased from your distributor.

Will they run on carpet?

Obviously it is slower going on carpet, but your child will get a good work out!
