Kids Scooters

Kids scooters are available for children from around two years old up to early teens. Toddlers and young children are best suited to three wheel scooters for stability, while children from around five upwards usually move on to two wheel scooters. Older kids who want to ride at the skatepark can step up to a stunt scooter.

Three wheel scooters are ideal for younger children as they are more stable and steer by leaning, which helps build balance. Two wheel scooters are faster and more manoeuvrable, making them better for confident riders. Most children switch from three wheels to two wheels between the ages of four and six.

The handlebars should sit roughly between your child's waist and hips when they stand on the deck. Many kids scooters have adjustable handlebars so they can grow with your child. Check our Scooter Size Guide for bar heights by age and rider height.

A standard kids scooter is designed for cruising, commuting and learning to ride, often with adjustable bars and a folding frame. A stunt scooter has fixed bars and a stronger, one-piece construction built to handle jumps, grinds and tricks at the skatepark.

Yes. Foldable scooters are lightweight and quick to fold, which makes them easy to carry on the school run, pop in the car boot or store at home. They are best for everyday riding rather than tricks, as folding mechanisms are not designed for heavy stunt use.

We strongly recommend a helmet every time your child rides. A well-fitted helmet that sits level on the head and fastens snugly under the chin offers the best protection. Knee, elbow and wrist pads are also a good idea, especially for beginners and children learning tricks.

Weight limits vary by model, with toddler scooters typically designed for lighter riders and stunt scooters built to support much heavier loads. Always check the maximum rider weight in the product details before buying to make sure the scooter suits your child.

Wipe the scooter down after riding in wet or muddy conditions, check that the bars, clamps and folding mechanism are secure, and inspect the wheels for wear. Replacing worn wheels and keeping bolts tight will keep the scooter safe and smooth to ride.
