If so, Electric Scooter is a great option.

An electric scooter is a small, light two-wheeled vehicle considered to be one of the most practical forms of transportation. Also, the fun aspect and the affordable price makes the electric scooter one of the hottest gifts today for young and older kids.

These scooters are powered by rechargeable batteries and they often can be very fast and therefore were not suitable for children. However brands came out with kids versions that is safer

Kids scooter versions don’t allow kids to ride fast then they’re supposed to and they give your kid about 40 minutes of riding time which is plenty of time for fun.

Safety Comes First!

No matter whether your kid has experience riding or not, make sure they have the proper safety gears during the ride. That should include a helmet and a set of pads for knees and elbows. Also, always monitor your kid so you can be sure that they’re handling the scooter correctly.

It generally, takes no particular skill to operate the kid’s versions of electric scooters and that is why it is such an interesting toy for kids all over the world. Nevertheless, adult supervision is advised..

This scooter can speed up to 15 mph but still not super fast, which makes this it a safer option for kids ride.

What makes this motorized scooter so popular is its size which allows it to carry 220 pounds.
There is also a seated version, so you can pick the one you like best. It doesn’t have foldable handlebars so it takes some storage space which is a downside.

Razor RX200 Electric Off-Road Scooter

This is considered one of the best off-road electric scooters for kids and that is why it is not recommended for kids under the age of 13. Actually, there aren’t off-road electric scooters suitable for 6-year-old, 7-year-old or even 10-year-old because that is not a safe environment for young children.

The top speed of this Razor electric scooter is 12 mph and its battery allows a continuous ride that will last for 40 minutes, give or take depending on the terrain. The heavy-duty tires will endure even the toughest terrain and the disc brake will make sure that the scooter can stop on time.

The best part about this scooter is that it comes with a bunch of LED lights so your kid will be impressed and you will be relaxed because the scooter is very visible on the road.

The top speed of this scooter is around 15.5 mph, but the interesting part is that you can adjust the speed between three modes – economy, normal and sport mode. That means the speed is adjustable to the traffic around the scooter which makes it very safe. But, due to the 3 modes, I would recommend it only for teens and older persons.

When your kid is done with the scooter, you can simply fold it and store it away. The weight of the scooter is 27 lbs, which is pretty OK for an electric scooter designed for kids. The weight capacity, on the other hand, is 220 lbs so you can conclude it is mostly made for older kids.

Electric Scooters for Little Girls

Who said that electric scooters are not for little kids? If you want to surprise your little girl with a nice gift, an electric scooter might be a great option.

A battery operated scooter might give your little girl a lot of fun. Usually, kids love these kinds of rides and feel really joyful while riding and having fun with their friends.

While shopping for an electric scooter for your toddler girl, you will need to pay attention to electric scooter’s safety features, how long the battery after it’s fully charged and how long does it take for the battery to charge in full.

You might also need to watch for the weight the scooter can handle. I know those little angels don’t weight much but you will be surprised by some electric scooters models that get broken quite easily due to the fact that some brands use poor quality plastic under estimating our kids weight “by too much”!
