What You Should Know About Buying a Kids Electric Scooter

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

A kids electric scooter is great for an older child. It gives your child a chance to burn off excess energy and get needed exercise in a fun and challenging way. A couple things to take into consideration before buying a child an electric scooter are:

– The child’s age. The child should have experience with a regular scooter and have good control over that before getting an electric one.
– You need to ingrain in your child the importance of always wearing protective gear (i.e. helmet, kneepads, elbow pads, etc) and abiding by all safety rules. If the child is not old enough or mature enough to ride this kind of scooter safely, then you should probably not buy one for him.

There are a number of electric scooters on the market and of course, prices vary depending on what brand name and model you buy. Buying one via an online retailer is often a lot more affordable than buying one from a regular store, although you would need to factor in shipping costs as well, as not all online retailers will ship your purchase to you free of charge, although some do. EBay is presently selling an X-treme Scooter X-10 100 Watt Electric Scooter for kids for only $74.00; actually, there are a few different colors you can choose from on this site. Amazon.com is selling a pink RAZOR E100 Electric Girl’s Scooter for an affordable $80

There are also electric moped scooters on the market for kids as well. These kinds of scooters, while they do not offer any exercise benefits to your child, can be a lot of fun for older children or preteens. The same tips regarding safety and maturity apply with these scooters. Your child should know the safety rules and keep them at all times, as if not the consequences can be serious or even tragic. Adult supervision is recommended.

If you are looking for an affordable kid’s electric scooter of this nature, then www.scootercatalog.com is presently offering one at only $230. It is a Harley Style Electric Mini Motorbike, complete with saddlebags, and comes in either red, black-flame, or pink. The specifications are listed on the site; it is extremely important that no matter where you buy an electric mini motorbike or scooter, that you read the specifications listed either on the site or the label so that you understand the nature of the item you are purchasing.

Electric Scooters for Kids

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

A great gift idea for the kids in your family is an electricity powered scooter. The scooter craze in America has been going on strong for the last several years and companies are constantly producing new models of electric scooters for kids as a means of latching onto the large market share. Electric scooters are as safe as a bicycle and much easier to learn how to use. Different designs include a seat or are standing scooters; it is recommended that children be at least six years old before using an electric scooter for safety concerns. While some electric scooters are available at major retail stores, most companies have an online catalog featuring certain designs and savings.

The most popular brand of scooters — electric or foot powered — on the market are manufactured by Razor. Razor scooters are so common that they are somewhat of a status symbol around elementary and middle schools; the company has found that the love of Razor scooters by kids is so strong that it is necessary to hire advocates to give demonstrations during school gym classes! A Razor E 100 electric scooter is also one of the least expensive models at only one hundred dollars. Powered by two twelve volt batteries, the scooter can run for up to forty minutes at speeds up to ten miles per hour.

A higher power model for kids on the go is the 500 watt aluminum electric scooter by Earth Magnet. Claiming to be unbreakable by the company, the Earth Magnet features four batteries for greater power capacity and lifetime, running as fast as twenty three miles per hour and as far as ten miles on one charge. The scooter includes a seat for comfortable riding that can be adjusted for specific heights and weights. A break lever and speed throttle allow kids more precision in driving, reducing accidents with the capability of more specific speed adjustments. At sixty pounds, it is one of the heaviest options, but can still be folded up for storage. At four hundred dollars, it is also more expensive than simple Razor scooters, so the extra function and power comes at a cost.

An electric scooter may be just the thing your son or daughter needs to get to school each day or just for fun around the neighborhood. Check retailer sites for savings and discounts. Around the holiday seasons, many of the models drop prices to attract purchases.
