Scooters are popular with children, especially the younger ones who have not yet passed the bicycle exam. The selection of scooters is huge and each model has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Scooters are not intended for the street and should ideally be ridden with a helmet and possibly protectors for knees, wrists and elbows. However, driving safety also depends on the height of the handlebars, which must be set correctly.
There are also differences in the number of bikes, whether two-, three- or four-wheelers - all of them have advantages and disadvantages. If there are three wheels, two are in the front and one in the back. These scooters are suitable for the little ones from two years of age. If you prefer to be completely safe, you can use the four-wheeler, which enables even better stability.
Scooters are controlled either by turning the handlebars or by shifting weight. A scooter with three or even four wheels is a bit more cumbersome, but for two-wheelers the child needs a good sense of balance, which is why they are more suitable for children from four or five years of age.
Important when buying a scooter : the height should be adjustable , the design should please the child, and the scooter should also have brakes. You should definitely attach importance to a non-slip footboard and the weight, in case the scooter has to be carried.
