Kick Scooters

When you want to give kids of all ages something fun to enjoy outdoors, kick scooters are definitely an excellent solution. The micro and folding versions are often favorite options for the older kids, while the younger ones often prefer something that is fun and easy to ride around the neighborhood. Whether it's an electric scooter or a model designed for sports and competitions, there's a nice option that's just right for every age and riding ability.

What should you consider when choosing the right scooter?

The right kick scooter can mean different things for different riders. It can depend on a number of factors, including the child's age and weight as well as their riding ability. Kick scooters come in a wide range of sizes and styles, so you'll certainly have many options. There are small scooters with fun cartoon characters for little children as well as durable ones that older kids will enjoy using for tricks and more challenging maneuvers.

Smoothly rolling wheels can be used for faster action, while a smaller deck can be beneficial for younger kids. An adjustable handlebar is an excellent way to ensure proper control; keeping in mind that it should be high enough to be within easy reach. Of course, a brake is important, especially as the child gets older and begins to use their kick scooter to go faster. The type of wheel, as well as weight, can also be important factors.

A kick scooter is comprised of three main components, each of which is available in a variety of materials.

  • An adjustable handlebar.
  • A sturdy deck.
  • Smoothly rolling wheels.
What are the benefits of two- or three-wheel scooters?

You'll find two-wheel and three-wheel scooters, as well as an electric scooter, folding, and even a micro kick version of the traditional-size kick scooter. Not all models are appropriate for every age and ability. A three-wheel scooter offers young kids their first opportunity to learn how to kick and ride, but with the added stability that a third wheel can provide. On the other hand, experienced riders might prefer a light aluminum kick scooter that is great for sports, such as competitive tricks and stunts.

What are some helpful safety tips for riding?

Riding a scooter comes with a few inherent risks, but it doesn't have to be dangerous. For example, it's always a good idea to have an adult supervise young kids when riding. They should also wear protective gear like helmets and pads. This is especially true if they are just learning how to use their first kick scooter. They should be taught by an adult to go slow until they feel confident in their ability to maneuver safely. An adult should also make sure that kids know how to use the brake, and that the child has a size that is appropriate for their ability. Young children often do better using something that is light and easy to ride, while older kids often look for features such as alloy wheels or a folding scooter that is convenient to store in their locker or bedroom.
