Beginner Electric Scooters for Kids
Excellent choices for smaller children are the standard kick scooters but if you're looking for something motorized, things can get complicated. Listed below are a few considerations and some suggested brands are at the end of the article:
Things to consider when choosing a scooter in no specific order:
Gas versus Electric Powered Scooters
- Cost: When it comes to price the categories are:
- Non-Motorized Scooters
- Electric Scooters
- Gas Powered Scooters
- Speed: Gas offers more velocity and accelerates to speeds in upwards of 30 mph. You can expect speeds of 12-15 mph in electric scooters but for beginners you will be happy with either choice.
- Noise: This is an obvious choice. If you prefer a quieter scooter, go with an electric motor. Even smaller gas powered scooters have decibel levels comparable to lawn equipment.
- Environmental Concerns: Electrical motors do no produce smog emissions like their gas counterparts. If gas still interests you but you're still concerned about environmental impact, C.A.R.B. motors will produce less exhaust emissions.
- Convenience: Electric motors range from an hour to roughly 2.5 hrs of battery life, then they need to be re-charged. The gas scooter needs a certain mixture of oil per gallon but can continue to be used after being refueled. So the value of convenience is the cost of refilling versus recharging the electric motor.
When considering a purchase, stay with brands that have a reputable history of manufacturing quality scooters. Below are some brands that have a history of producing solid scooters:
- X-Treme Scooters (excellent dollar for dollar value)
- Razor
- EZIP
- GoPed
