Kids Scooters have exploded in the UK over the past ten years or so, with virtually every kid you see whizzing around on them. They have become so popular that you see more kids on scooters than bikes these days. Part of the reason must be the easiness to transport scooters when compared to bikes. They fit into the boot of a car, they fold so they can be carried, and they are easier for kids to get the hang of to ride when compared to push bikes.
To find out what Kids Scooters are all about visit Kids Scooters. We have all the major brands, and scooters from pre-school age kid’s right up to young adults. We also have in depth knowledge on customizing a scooter from ABEC wheel ratings to different size collar clamps.
Pre-school kids will more than likely start with a three wheeled model or folding scooter. Three wheeled scooters learn them about balance and coordination very easily before progressing to a two wheeled scooter. Unlike a bike it’s very easy for parents to keep up with kids on scooters at this age, and makes walking to the shops or park fun and enjoyable for little ones.
As kid’s progress and get older it will be all about stunt scooters. Stunt Scooters offer older kids a chance to perfect their riding skills and start to perform trick and stunts. Stunt Scooters are usually made of one piece bars that do not fold as the scooter needs the extra strength when kids are landing tricks and stunt. They tend to be slightly heavier than folding scooters with most models having reinforced forks and single to quad collar clamps, all for extra durability. For the advanced serious stunt performers out there it’s also worth looking into models with reinforced decks, as the scooter takes a lot of impact when landing stunts.
Stunt Parks are a great way for kids to learn tricks and stunts on their scooters and more and more of them are popping up all over the UK, with even indoor built specific skate parks for the rainy days. From bowls and half pipes to ramps and rails kids learn their first small jumps to 360 flips. Yes there will be falls and grazes which is why it’s also important that kids are properly kitted out in safety gear. Helmets, knee and elbow pads are a must to protect heads and smashed bones. Be safe not silly when riding scooters.
