Founded in 2016 as a passion project between two close friends, Jiax and Nic, this is the place to go if you’re looking for a beautifully crafted longboard. We love supporting local, and seeing brands we love gain popularity throughout Southeast Asia and beyond!
7. RipStik
Once your mini daredevils get going on this board, available from Amazon, it’ll seem like it’s permanently glued to their feet. Ideal for kids 8 years old and over, the spiked traction pad makes it easier to balance and ride on compared to a skateboard. The concave design also allows for improved footing, so your kiddo can be confident when learning skating tricks.
Rollerskates and Rollerblades
8. Inlinex Skate Shop, Singapore
If it’s skates you’re looking for, Inlinex is the place to go.

9. Beginner skates that don’t cost the earth at Decathlon
Decathlon is a great place to get skates and rollerblades, especially if you don’t want to break the bank and invest too much too early! So if you or your kiddo is just starting out on their skating journey, we recommend our favourite sports store as the place to go. While you’re there, pick up a helmet and all the safety gear including knee, elbow and shin pads, for a fraction of the cost you’ll find elsewhere!
Ride-Ons
10. Amazon – Little Tikes Cozy Coupe
The Little Tykes Cozy Coupe is a mandatory purchase for little ones as they’ll love using their feet to propel themselves around a la the Flintstones or replace the floorboard so they can rest their feet while you push from behind. Easily manoeuvrable and perfect for both indoor and outdoor play, it comes complete with a cup holder for your little one’s juice box and a gas cap that actually opens.
11. Wheely Bugs from The Better Toy Store
How adorable are these cute, zippy, ride-on ‘bugs’ from The Better Toy Store that can ‘fly’ across from one end of the room to the other? Designed using a variety of insects and animals as inspiration (the piggy is our fave!), they come with safety handlebars so that kiddos can control their movement at all times. Once they master staying on, there’ll be no stopping them.
12. EzyRollers at Black and White Trading
A bit like an old-fashioned go-kart, with the EzyRoller you need to sit back and use your feet in a ‘right-left’ motion to propel forward. It moves in a fun zig-zag manner, and while it might take you twice the amount of time to get somewhere, it will surely keep kids aged four to 14 years old amused for hours.
13. Hauck Batman GoKart
Since we’re on the topic of wheels, we can’t leave out the classic go-kart, that you can find on Amazon. Featuring a sporty three-point steering system and rubber-encased wheels, kids aged four to eight will love zipping up and down the neighbourhood in this four-wheel ride. The bucket seat is adjustable to ensure a good fit, plus it comes with an eight-ball designed brake system that makes it easier for children to stop when needed.
14. They see me rollin’! Electric ride-ons for kids, including cars, motorbikes and trucks
Royal Castles in Woodlands is the King of electric ride-ons for little ones in Singapore. Choose from flashy cars (Ferraris, BMWs, VWs and Jeeps, all in miniature!), motorbikes, even mini trucks! There are also small collections available at Toys ‘R Us and bikessg.
