15 best kids scooters
Contrary to the opinion of many, a scooter is one of the best vehicles for getting around in the city, surpassing in some aspects such a popular form of transport as everyone's favorite bicycles. A kind of "base" for all the advantages of scooters is the compactness parameter, which determines both excellent maneuverability and a high degree of controllability, and even such (at first glance) an indirect criterion such as transportability.
Most people consider scooters to be purely children's transport, which is only half true. However, it is the younger generation of users that derives the greatest benefit from it - this vehicle becomes the first in their life, and it is with it (psychologically) that a large number of bright moments are associated, be it acceleration to high speeds, performing labor-intensive rentals or performing technical elements, and even simple falls. All this is the best fit for the child's active leisure, and also affects the development of the qualities of quick reaction and decision-making.
Alas, not all scooters are capable of providing the proper emotions from use. Sometimes poor workmanship or marriage does not allow the full true potential of such an uncomplicated vehicle to be revealed. Having analyzed the domestic Russian market, we have selected for you the models of the best children's scooters in different age categories. For careful selection and subsequent sorting of goods, the following criteria were used:
- the number of wheels and their overall dimensions;
- the maximum load that the scooter can withstand;
- the maximum height of the steering rack;
- the nominal weight of the scooter;
- materials of manufacture;
- the ratio of the price and quality of the goods.

1 Scoot & Ride Highway Kick
The Highway Kick from the famous Austrian brand Scoot & Ride is the best first scooter for boys and girls 2-3 years old, according to most users. The model has passed many quality tests, on the basis of which it received a certificate of compliance with European safety. The 2-in-1 design allows the scooter to be used both as a full-fledged three-wheeled vehicle for children who are already confidently on their feet, and as an ordinary walking wheelchair for toddlers from 1 year old. Without the use of special tools, the seat in the Scoot & Ride Highway Kick easily flips upward, becoming part of the steering column. Likewise, in just one movement, the kickboard transforms into a comfortable sitting balancer.
The low position of the saddle (only 22.5 cm from the floor), its ergonomic shape and soft padding allow the child to feel comfortable while walking and ensure his safety. The scooter is equipped with a blocker (located in the front of the body), which prevents falling forward when riding, and reduces the risk of a small passenger falling.
The best scooters for kids 4-6 years old
Two-wheeled scooters for children are designed for older children from 4 years of age, as they are less stable due to only two points of support. But on the other hand, they have much higher speed and maneuverability. When choosing this type of child transport, you should give preference to models made of durable aircraft aluminum with a steering wheel adjustable for the child's height. We offer you several scooters that have received the largest number of positive ratings from parents of kids 4-6 years old.
4 Zilmer ZIL1812-186 ZL-80
The ideal scooter for walking around the city Zilmer ZIL1812-186 ZL-80 features robust construction, low weight and reliable folding mechanism. Made of an alloy of aluminum and stainless steel, this fashionable form of transport for children is equipped with high-quality bearings with high rotation accuracy, comfortable rubber grips and a lowered deck with an anti-slip coating, which ensures a safe ride and helps the correct development of the musculoskeletal system of the little user.

The scooter is designed for a maximum load of 50 kg and can be used by children aged 4 to 6 years (height 104-116 cm).
3 SMALL RIDER DRAGON
The beautifully styled Dragon series kids' scooter from the Chinese company Small Dragon is ranked third and, it should be said, has good reason. Like many other models, this baby can be bought, as they say, "for growth", since the steering wheel height adjustment is present in it. Small and extremely stable wheels enable the most effective track control and maneuvering, although they require a lot of energy consumption in terms of acceleration. Due to the polyurethane frame, the Small Rider Dragon shows a significant gain in weight - its nominal weight does not exceed 2.5 kilograms, which does not create problems with transportation for young users.
Of the additional "chips" of the scooter, it should be noted the presence of decorative things like the light of lights, imitation of the roar of the engine and a small steam engine that generates intense puffs of water vapor.
2 RAZOR A125
The second place in the rating is taken by a high-quality German assembly at an affordable price. It is ideal for a child who is getting on a two-wheeled scooter for the first time.Small but stable wheels; sturdy yet lightweight aluminum frame; high quality anti-slip materials; folding mechanism - these are all the main quality characteristics of the two-wheeled scooter Razor A125.

1 GLOBBER MY TOO FIXED SCOOTER
Became the most popular children's two-wheeled scooter Globber MY TOO FIXED SCOOTER due to its durability. It is made of stainless steel, the most durable material used for scooters. Due to the small diameter of the wheels (front - 120 mm, rear - 100 mm), the scooter has good maneuverability and can pick up high speed. Leading French engineers have worked on this scooter: an easily adjustable handle for the child's height, a platform made of anti-slip material, wheels made of high-quality polyurethane with good rebound on a nylon cover, a smooth rear brake. Number one in our ranking of the best!
The best scooters for kids from 7 years old
Most children of primary school age already have the skills to ride a scooter. Transport for 7 years old and older should be selected depending on the operating conditions. If you plan to use the product while walking in the city (on asphalt paths), then scooters with rubberized rollers are best suited. For driving on a more "capricious" type of soil, it is preferable to stay on off-road structures with large inflatable wheels.
4 Tech Team TT Jogger
The city scooter for children and adolescents of both sexes will help turn an ordinary walk into an exciting adventure, because it is capable of developing high speed, and high-quality polymer wheels keep the roll well. The heavy-duty patented folding system and low weight of the structure (weight of only 3.5 kg) allows it to be easily transported even by public transport, without causing any special inconvenience to either its owner or others. The body of the model is made of durable aluminum, the permissible load is up to 100 kg, there is a footrest, rubber grips are installed on the height-adjustable steering wheel.
High-quality assembly, small dimensions and compactness make the Tech Team TT Jogger scooter one of the most suitable for city use. It is easy to fold and unfold, can be carried in the hands and used from 7-8 years up to adulthood. In addition, the product immediately attracts attention with its interesting design - the line in black and gold, released in 2018, immediately became one of the most popular and sold in Russia.
3 Novatrack STAMP N1
The product of one of the leading Russian enterprises for the production of sports equipment, Novatrack, has earned the right to become a participant in our review due to the optimal combination of very good quality and affordable cost. The scooter belongs to the off-road class, it is able to easily move on grass, sand and soil, and also develop a sufficiently high speed on smooth sidewalks. A large comfortable frame with a deck on which you can stand with two feet, a stable footrest, handbrake of the front and rear wheels - in this model every little thing is thought out that can affect the comfort of a child's walk. Transport is intended for children from 7 years old, but can be used by older teenagers. Carrying capacity of the platform is 80-100 kg, the height of the steering rack is adjustable from 84 to 100 cm.
The main design flaw is considered by most users to be the lack of a folding mechanism, which is why the scooter has to be transported in full size. In addition, Novatrack STAMP N1 did not cause much criticism from children and their parents, and many generally called it the best for off-road driving.
2 Razor Spark Scooter
Stylish, sleek and incredibly durable city scooter Spark Scooter is another representative of the famous German brand RAZOR in our review.This two-wheeled vehicle is suitable for children from 7 years old and can be used for riding for quite a long time, as it is designed for a maximum height of 170 cm and a load of up to 100 kg. The frame is made of aircraft grade aluminum, the wheels are made of polyurethane. Fast and smooth bearings (ABEC grade 5) offer good wear resistance and help you pick up the desired speed in the shortest possible time.
But the main feature of the Razor Spark Scooter, which will not leave anyone indifferent, is the glowing wheels and an incredible sheaf of sparks flying out at the moment of braking on the road. This visual effect is achieved using silicon brakes, and an additional cartridge is included with the scooter to extend it. The model is very popular with children and their parents. The guys fell in love with the scooter for the comfort of use, extraordinary design and colorfulness, and adults highly appreciated the reliability of the assembly of the structure, its low weight (less than 3 kg) and ease of transportation when assembled.
1 Yedoo Mau
The Yedoo Mau off-road scooter will handle even the most uneven roads. Its large wheels with Innova Street inflatable tires and a lightweight steel frame will help you quickly overcome obstacles in the way, providing a soft ride with good shock absorption and allowing you to maneuver the product with ease. Curly handles with palm restraints increase ride comfort, and a high-quality braking system will save the young rider from possible collisions and injuries. For greater stability, the model is equipped with a footrest.
The scooter is intended for children at least 7 years old (height from 122 cm) and allows you to adjust the height of the steering wheel to the individual characteristics of the child. It is worth noting that the model has a considerable weight (about 8 kg) and dimensions (total length is 113 cm), so it can be problematic for a small owner to independently carry out and bring in the structure. Otherwise, Yedoo Mau is fully consistent with the title of the best scooter for schoolchildren. This is a versatile device that is optimally suited for outdoor riding and has proven itself to be excellent when used in crowded alleys of city parks.
Best Electric Scooters
An electric scooter is usually called an electric scooter driven by electric traction (without physical effort on the part of the user). Most often, adults prefer to use the services of this type of transport, since the electric scooter allows you to develop high speed and can provide fast and convenient movement around the city. However, on the shelves of sports stores, you can find a considerable number of children's models that run on a battery. Here are some examples of quality and reliable electric scooters for kids.
3 Razor E90
A popular model of a children's scooter, which is not able to compete properly with the leaders of the rating, but quite naturally occupies the third line. As for the equipment, there are no serious requirements for the Razor E90 - you will not see any hand brakes, steps or other ergonomic utensils here (unless after your own fine-tuning). But the performance parameters are pleasing: not the most powerful engine and battery provide the scooter with the ability to move at a maximum speed of up to 14 kilometers per hour and run on a single charge up to 12 kilometers. Actually, all the advantages of this model are limited by this - more users can not select anything. Among the disadvantages is an unfair price. However, for the Razor company this is an ordinary marketing ploy.
2 Razor Power Core E100
A step away from the leading position, a stylish children's scooter from the flagship company Razor stopped. According to the owners, the main advantage of this model over others is the developed speed, which is equal to 18 kilometers per hour. In addition, a portion of confidence is caused by the high-quality assembly of the structure, which is based on a stainless steel frame.
The problems with the Razor Power Core E100 begin with the comparison of price and quality parameters.It becomes clear that both ergonomics and technical equipment do not correspond to such a high price tag: the weight of the scooter is 11.8 kilograms, which is strongly felt in the control (especially when maneuvering). In this regard, the power plant is forced to consume more energy, and, as a result, this affects the duration of the battery charge, which is enough for only 6 kilometers.
1 E-Scooter CD-02
The E-Scooter CD-02 electric scooter for children from 6 years old will allow every child to feel like an experienced "driver", while ensuring the comfort and safety of the ride. A low speed of movement (up to 15 km / h) significantly reduces the likelihood of injury while driving, and the rear drum brakes will help you react in time in a dangerous situation. The design is designed for a load of up to 50 kg, the frame is made of strong and durable stainless steel, the steering wheel folds and changes in height. Of the additional options, you can indicate the presence of metal wheel arch liners, which will protect the rider from dust and splashes of mud while riding. The battery charge recovery period is 6 hours, after which the product can travel at least 15 km on a single charge. Engine power - 120 watts.
The scooter is presented in two colors - red and blue, so choosing a model for a boy or a girl will not be difficult. We gave the E-Scooter CD-02 electric scooter the first place in this category, as we considered it the most reliable and convenient for children to play. And a very low price (as for this type of goods) has become an additional incentive for making such a decision.
