How to Find the Best Electric Scooter for a 10-year Old Kid

Whether you want to give your kid a birthday present, a prize for excelling in school, or you just really want to see your child happy, one of the best gifts that you can buy is an electric scooter. Think of it as a learning opportunity that allows you to teach your kid how to adhere to traffic rules. It is also a great opportunity to bond with him/her, especially if you have your own electric scooter too.

When looking for the best scooter, there are a few things that you have to keep in mind. Among the most important considerations is safety. The best scooters are usually designed to be safe and reliable. To minimise risks, go for a scooter that is durable, with a maximum load of 150 kg. Look for a frame that is made with aluminium alloy with anode plating, and that has a front fork that sports a spring suspension.

Another safety feature is an LED speed meter that would help your child know how fast he/she is travelling. Also consider an electric scooter for kids that has wide foot decks for added safety. The best scooters are powered by a lead acid battery, which supplies about 36V to the 250-watt motor. Depending on the scooter’s model, it can reach a top speed of around 17 mph, or 27 km/h, on a full charge. The motor can take approximately three to five hours to charge, and would allow your kid to travel a distance of about 20 miles, or 33 kilometres.

One more thing that you need to consider when choosing the best scooter is the design. Look for a shop that offers kids’ scooters that are lightweight, durable, and available in various hues, and then try to pick one that you think your child might like. Consider your kid’s favourite colours, for example. If it is not available, don’t worry—you can always personalise the scooter with decals and even stickers of favourite cartoon characters later on. The most trustworthy shops would be able to provide you with an electric scooter that is reasonably priced, backed up with a warranty, and that can be delivered to mainland UK addresses within 2-3 days of receipt of your order.
