Three Major Types Of Kids Scooters


By Nick Todd


Kids scooters are a great and inexpensive way to keep young children busy and energetic in their extra time, specially during lazy summer days if there's nothing much else to do. Most parents would choose to watch their children use them rather than watch them pasted to their TV sets and computer whiling their time out inertly, inattentive to other things. With them, children can lead active and happy life styles with never a dull time to spare in them.

This article will present the three main types of kids' scooter designs; namely, kick, caster-driven, and electric. It will describe their differences and how children normally use them. Through it, parents can choose the best configuration that will suit their children's needs while keeping them safe and content.

Kick scooters are kids' scooters which you can use by younger children (those aged 4 years). They generally come in two- or three-wheel designs. Two-wheelers typically have 2 small or sizeable wheels situated at either side of a board, and they can be equipped with a foot brake which can be initiated either at the scooter's back wheel or by means of hand brakes at the handlebars. Three-wheelers, on the other hand, have a huge tire on its front end and 2 smaller wheels at its back (while a few novel types have this tire layout reversed). These types of motor scooters offer good stability and offers young children hours of riding fun and never have to go through the chance of experiencing nasty stains and falls. For more security, three-wheeled scooters, just like their two-wheeled competitors, can be obtained which have braking systems placed in them. Both types can be provided by slip-proof stepboards which will further ensure their young rider's wellbeing.

Caster-driven scooters, however, are kids' scooters that have T-shaped stepboards or support frames which allow kids to move by itself by rotating and twisting them; the style also enables it to move easily and move along without the need for the child to kick it along such as normal scooters. This type is made for older kids who love to try and improvise on their scooters. However, they can be tricky to deal with in the beginning, so parents or guardians must usually look after and monitor their kids while they drive them. The plus side to these kid scooters is they are generally height-adjustable (you may customize the bars to fit your child), and they are made from light materials that make them very easy to move and store away.

Finally, electrically-driven scooters are kids' scooters that can be propelled on their own power. This power is generated by rechargeable batteries (with power outputs from 100 to 500 watts) and they can go anywhere from 12 up to 20 miles per hour. They are ideal for youngsters (kids aged 5 years old and above) and even adults who would like to spend some fun moments riding them. They can come in either two- or three-wheel configurations, and they are more powerful and thus more dangerous to use for small children. They also do not come in cheap, but there are now newer scooters of this type that run more quietly and are made up of components that are safe for the environment.

No matter which type of kids' scooter that you select, make sure that you've got the contentment and happiness of your child at heart. By making the correct choice, you will make sure that your baby will experience his or her wonder years in a playful and active manner.
