Electric Scooters for Kids - Deciding Factors
So what makes electric motor scooters a value for kids? When it comes to kids electric scooters the equation simplifies to speed: the faster the better. For concerned parents speed may be an issue. The idea of their child or teenager scooting along at 15 plus miles per hour is not an inviting prospect. However, electric scooters do not require gas, are nearly inaudible, and cheap electric scooters are easily found. What needs to be found is a compromise between the child's desire for speed and the parents assurance for scooter safety.
Parents, every scooter will display speed on the specifications chart. If you are buying a powered scooter from a retail establishment it should be on the box. If not, go online and look for the purchased brand and it should not be too difficult to find the specifications. For convenience, scooters for sale online should have speeds posted below the product. Take solace in the fact that the posted speeds for a given scooter are dramatically influenced by rider weight, terrain, and motor power. For example, many kids' electric scooters are limited to a top speed of 15mph but more than likely will not see 10mph with a rider.
Manufacturers list the maximum speed for a given scooter and do not take significant variables, such as rider weight and terrain, into account. As far as reliability, scooters are highly durable with differences residing in components. Think of a bike when purchasing your fist scooter. They all are made of durable metal but one may have wider tires, disc or pad brakes, slimmer seat etc. The same applies to scooters; they all come in different shapes and forms. You can pay upwards of $1500.00 for your scooter or as low as $80.00 it depends on what you are looking for and how much your wallet can afford.
How can the information above be good news for kids? The simple answer is modifications. When both the parents and son or daughter feel as though they need more power scooter upgrades can be a great project. There are many ways to increase speed through weight reduction and motor swapping that will increase speed. This can be a win-win for parents and kids alike. Kids can learn the mechanics of their scooters while disassembling it with a parent. Motor swapping and battery upgrades are easy enough to interchange and can be an exciting parent-child project.
The question of what do you ultimately buy depends on the age of your child. For younger children smaller electric motor scooters, like the X-10, are an excellent starter scooter. X-Treme, the manufacturer of the X-10, offers scooters for a wide range of electric scooters. Razor is a well know, but usually pricier option, which also offers beginner and mid-line scooters. If your child is just entering their growth spurt or are around the age of 7-8 it is advisable to choose a mid-size scooter. Like bikes, children outgrow scooters quickly but the speed increase is negligible. Mid-size scooters usually offer more power which means more weight can be added without a serious depravation in power. Consumers with young kids 8-10 often choose units like the X-140 or X-250 which allows their child to use the scooter longer than a year or two.
Let's take for example the X-Treme X-140 with a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour. Comparably, these cheap electric scooters (X-140's) are less expensive than other brands but just as quick and you can upgrade the motor with the savings. Secondly, the less pricey scooters come with less hardware (like seats) that weighs down the scooter which reduces speed. You can also swap batteries which can get costly (like lithium) that can conceivably double the range of the scooter.
