Kids’ electric scooters are becoming more and more accepted by parents. As technology and the manufacturing industry advances, e scooters become cheaper and cheaper, so more families can afford to buy their children such motorized scooters.
Electric scooters for kids are a great way of teaching a child responsibility for themselves, and for the environment. One of the biggest advantages of electric scooters is that they give off 0 carbon emissions, and making your child understand that his/her new vehicle is helping to make our planet greener, is a big step in their environment conscious development.
Also, a child above the age of 12 will understand the responsibility of owning a motorized vehicle after owning an e scooter. This is due to the fact that the scooter has to be taken care of, cleaned, recharged regularly, and driven safely with protective gear, which will make children feel more like an adult and develop their sense of responsibility at an early age.
However, care must be taken that the child does not boast with his/her new scooter in front of people, since that is an undesirable trait. These scooters come in cool designs and other kids might become jealous. Your child should be taught to handle this aspect responsibly as well.
If you think an electric scooter is right for your child, you should take the following tips into consideration before your purchase:
Age and weight of child
- Age 8-12
Young children should not be given an e scooter with a motor more powerful than 100-200W, as the top speed of these scooter is around 8MPH, which is still considered safe. These scooters can carry a child of up to 120 lbs. Always make sure that your young child uses the scooter under adult supervision!
- Age 12-15
Young teenagers can handle the responsibility of owning a scooter with a 200-300W electric motor. These scooters have a top speed of 10-15 MPH, which is satisfactory for their age already. The stronger 300W models are actually adequate to carry people of up to approximately 200 lbs, so dad will have his fun as well.
- Age 15+
Older teenagers will not be satisfied with small power scooters, as they will find them to be slow. Kids electric scooters with 300W+ power are available on the market, which are already considered adult scooters. Their top speed varies between 15-25 MPH, have larger batteries, and therefore longer running time. These scooters are built for speed, convenience, durability and safety.
Scooter Tire Size
Generally said, the larger the tire size of the scooter, the safer it will be. Kick scooters have small tires made out of rubber, which get caught in potholes easily, therefore are not suited for speed.
Try to make an informed decision keeping the above aspects in consideration. Don’t forget that if a scooter is priced much lower than its broad competitors, it’s not without a reason… they will probably be low quality. There are many reviews and reports available on the internet, make sure you do your research before you make your purchase.
