There are several different types of electric scooters for kids. This table summarizes the broad categories:
2 wheeled standing electric scooter | Looks like a traditional push scooter but has a battery underneath the stand. | |
2 wheeled seated electric scooter | Looks like a traditional push scooter but has a battery underneath the stand AND a seat added too. Kids can stand when they’re feeling energetic, and sit later when they’re getting tired. | |
Mini moped style seated electric scooters | A mini version of the popular European style adult ride on motor scooters. | |
2 wheeled self balancing electric scooters (commonly known as hoverboards) | 2 wheels with a standing board between (no vertical post for steering) |
Which of these types you prefer is really a matter of personal preference. We’ll give our top recommendations for each category below (coming soon).
When you choose an electric scooter for a child make sure you’re getting the right size. Check for the minimum and maximum weight the scooter holds. There are generally 4 categories – toddlers (1-5), young children (5-8), children (8-12), and teens/adults.
Amazon has a great selection of these available. You can see the best electric scooters for kids reviewed there.
