Every time I go for a ride on my motorcycle, my son has been interested in riding as well. Of course, he's still way too young but I'm sure that one day we can ride together!
For the last few years, he's been enjoying his kick scooter a lot but a few friends have an electric scooter and he's asking (begging) me to buy one for him as well. I think he can handle an electric scooter and it will be a nice step towards a motorized scooter in a couple of years. I'm not afraid that he won't move anymore since he's a very sporty boy and not sitting in front of his pc or game computer all the time. I've been doing some research of the best electric scooters and I've come up with a top 5. See whether you agree or maybe you have another model for me to check and add to this list.
The best electric children's scooters all have
one thing in common! They are fun! Why would you want to buy your kid
an electric scooter? The fun factor is high and they are a great way
for them to get around. They are completely safe, they are eco
friendly and they are relatively inexpensive.
Electric kids scooters are easy to operate and
made especially for children and young adults. The sizes are ideal
for kids, the speed ratio is ideal and overall they are a great gift
idea.
Razor and Currie Take the Lead
Razor and Currie have quite a few models of
electric scooters and all of the models have different driving ranges
and top speeds. They are well made and are geared to different age
ranges so making the right choice for your kid is easy.
Razor electric scooters
Razor offers three models specifically that
easily make the best electric kids scooters list. The following three
models are in the top 5 model list for kids scooters.
-
eSpark is ideal for younger kids. The top speed is about 10 mph which can reduce the risk of falls for the new rider. The eSpark is suggested for new riders ages 8 and up but they can easily accommodate children as young as 6. The sparks which can be activated with the special pedal is fantastic for children.
- E200 is ideal for older kids. It has a maximum weight load of 220 pounds and a maximum speed of 12 mph. This is a great option for the 12 plus set and even for younger kids that have some riding experience.
- E325 is a powerhouse! This is great for the 12 and up age group that has some experience. It offers everything that the E200 offers AND a more powerful motor that can reach speeds of 15 mph. The E325 is not for the little kids under the age of 12 because it is a powerful electric scooter and can easily get away from a little kid. The E325 also has a maximum weight load of 220lbs. It is a great option for older teens or young adults.
Curries Technologies electric scooters
-
The Currie eZip 500 is a popular model as well and makes it to the top 5 best electric kids scooters list BUT it really is not for little kids; it is for teens and young adults. What makes this a stand out model is that the front suspension offers up a much smoother ride. It also has a powerful engine that can reach speeds of 15 mph. It is a well built scooter that has a range of about 12 miles. It can carry up to 260 pounds. The tires are a generous 12 inches. The cost reflects the “extras”.
- Currie also offers a Nano eZip model that is less faster than the eZip 500 at 12 MPH it is a truly practical way for kids to get around. Just like some of the other electric kids scooters models this has a fully padded seat. It is recommended for children 13 years of age and up.
So this is my top 5 list of electric scooters. Since I want my son to use it for quite a few years, I want to get him something decent and not just a toy which will boring in a weeks time. Therefore I'm thinking of buying the Razor E325 for him. Of course I need to get a helmet for him and maybe new protection. If you have any thoughts or other recommendations, please let me know! Thanks!
