Do you remember when you were a kid, and we had those monstrous-sized heavy scooters that were heavy with puffy inflatable tires that bounced around, wouldn’t glide, and took a lot of work to get to go anywhere? Well, times have changed, thankfully, and there are new scooter designs in the marketplace now.

You probably have heard of and seen the original Razor scooter that was a trendsetter for the last 20 years. They have improved that design, and more companies have joined the industry.

If you want to keep up with your kids, you can no longer do it on foot unless you are a marathon distance runner. So, we could all use a scooter to scoot right along next to the kids from time to time. Maybe you can take your kids and all the scooters to a park with a long paved path or trail and ride together, or you could take a trip downtown and explore.

Either way, you will be spending quality time with your kids, which is invaluable in the long run. So check out some fantastic scooters for you and your kids to ride, and you can start creating some beautiful memories that will last a lifetime for you.

1) Razor A5 LUX Kick Scooter

This new addition to their lineup comes from the company that kick-started the kick-powered scooter craze with their revolutionary lightweight aluminum Razor A1 scooter.

It features plenty of innovations and upgrades but best of all, it is large enough to handle and capable of handling a significant adult who wants to join in the fun.

 

The adjustable wide-framed handlebars can reach heights tall enough to work for someone 6 feet tall or more comfortably.

Then you have the extra-large urethane wheels, so they carry the weight well, up to 220 lbs according to the scooter manufacturer specs, and glide smoothly for long distances with just a couple of kicks to get up to speed.

Using this model, you will conserve energy because of its intense ability to conserve momentum and glide across the pavement.

 

With these scooters, cracks in the sidewalk are not jarring like the smaller solid wheeled models, and you won’t feel your teeth rattle with every single one.

The only reported downside is that it can rattle a little bit on extra rough roads, but that is probably a problem you will have with any model kick-powered scooter that can be fixed simply with just a few well-placed pieces of Velcro tape.

Pros:

• Lightweight and foldable.
• Extra tall and wide handlebars coupled with the large footboard means it can handle even large adults for a cruise without losing the ability to glide well across the street or sidewalk.
• Large urethane wheels allow you to glide over cracks in the sidewalk and road without losing much speed or feeling your teeth rattle each time you roll over one.

Cons:

• Reports state that this model can be tough to stop in wet conditions, but since the scooter is made of aluminum and will rust, you probably shouldn’t do much riding when it’s raining.

2) Lascoota Scooters for Kids 8 Years and up

You can ride anywhere in style with this appealing kick scooter. It comes in a dozen or more color options to fit your style, and the cool factor doesn’t stop there.

It features a wide base, non-slip foot deck that can easily fit even large adults’ feet, which is good because this scooter can hold a person of up to 220 lbs.

So, both you and your kids can enjoy cruising around on this attractive scooter line.

It also features a shock absorber spring built on the front wheel housing, and the PU cast high-quality large-size wheels, and you get a smooth ride even over some of the not-so-smooth roads and sidewalks around your neighborhood town.

There is a mudguard for when you ride through puddles after it rains, so nothing gets kicked back up to you and gets your clothes dirty.

Finally, this scooter folds up fast and comes with a detachable carrying strap so you can haul your scooter anywhere you want to go easily and comfortably.

It is lightweight and can easily be carried by a child. When you put all these things together, you get a high-quality, functional, feature-packed, innovative, and fashionable kick-powered scooter for you and your kids to ride around in style.

Pros:

• Comes in more than a dozen color options to fit your style choice. The color choices are vibrant and bright, making the scooter stand out and shine.
• It can hold up to 220 lbs, so you and your kids can take turns enjoying this scooter or get matching scooters to ride side by side and spend quality family time outdoors.
• Jam-packed features like a shock absorber, mudguard, wide non-slip foot deck, detachable carrying strap, etc.

Cons:

• It was hard to find anyone who said anything negative about this scooter. Still, after a lot of digging, we found some people complained that they had to purchase a headlight and running light package separately and install it independently. But this would be the case for most of this type of scooter.

3) Micro Kickboard – Mini Original 3-Wheeled, Lean-to-Steer, Swiss-designed Micro Scooter

This cute little mini scooter was made for preschool-age kids and is small enough for kids ages 2-5.

It is the perfect training scooter for young kids to get the hang of riding around.

The 3-wheel design is made so kids can learn how to lean to steer their scooter and gain physical skills like balance and coordination.

This model scooter is virtually indestructible and was undoubtedly built to last a lifetime and can be passed from kid to kid as they outgrow it and move on to full-sized scooters. But since it can hold up to 110 lbs, your kid can ride it for quite a while before they need to upgrade.

It is also made with replaceable components and a couple with a 2-year satisfaction guaranteed warranty, and you get a scooter that will live forever.

Pros:

• Made for young children to learn the ropes of riding a scooter and is a great miniature design for toddlers and kids ages 2-5.
• The 3-wheel design help kids stay upright while learning how to learn to steer and other physical skills like balance and coordination.
• Made with replaceable components and comes with a 2-year warranty that covers everything. If anything breaks, the manufacturer will send you replacement parts, no questions asked. They believe in the quality of their product that much.

Cons:

• Made for young children and so it is very small. Although it is tough, durable, and was built to withstand a person’s weight up to 110 lbs.

 

4) Razor A Kick Scooter

The original Razor scooter that restarted the whole scooter trend for our generation, the model A kick scooter, was a genius design.

This scooter is built with an aluminum body and frame and was made to last through excessive use and abuse.

These tank-like units often outlast a kid’s entire childhood. They will be able to ride it from toddler age until they are driving themselves around in a car instead, and even then. Riders can still pull this scooter out and go for a ride whenever they want because it can hold an adult’s weight just fine.

The fold-up design was revolutionary for scooters and made it possible to pack this model up and take it any you went.

If you go on a family trip out of town or camping, you can easily fold up the kids’ scooters and bring them along. That way, they will be sure to have some form of entertainment to keep them busy and out of your hair.

Or you can jump on one of these scooters and ride along with them, creating new, lasting memories of time spent together as a family.

Pros:

• The original fold-up design of the scooter from Razor reintroduced our whole generation to scooters once again. It began the entire scooter craze that has lasted over 2 decades.
• It is made with an all-aluminum body and frame, it is lightweight and easy to carry even for a child, but it is also highly durable and made to last an absurd amount of time.
• The polyurethane wheels and rear step-down brake make for a smooth, gliding ride and easy to slow down or stop entirely within a safe distance.

Cons:

• Newer models have been made with many more features. But if you want a simple, inexpensive option for a birthday or Christmas gift, this is the perfect option.

 

5) Envy Scooters PRODIGY S8 Complete Scooter

Coined as the high-end alternative to the Razor, this well-built scooter was made to last despite any abuse you or your kids can think of. The foot deck is finished in a jade coloration and is a top-end competitor for both form and function.

Then, this model has aluminum, reaper style, extra-wide handlebars that help you ride in a more ergonomic and natural position with your arms and hands set at reasonable shoulder-width apart.

To add to these handlebars are extra soft TPR rubber grips that keep your hands securely in place while riding, even over rough roads.

 

Extremely high-quality 6061 Forged V2 Prodigy IHC Forks hold up the wheels and can fit wheel sizes up to 125 mm x 30 mm, but the scooter itself comes equipped with 120 mm hollow core polyurethane wheels.

This model scooter comes with ABEC9 bearings that are super smooth and make it seemingly fly as it glides down the road faster and easier to push along than nearly any other model scooter.

This scooter is for the serious enthusiast or those who want the absolute best possible and is recommended for intermediate to advanced scooter riders.

Pros:

• The absolute pinnacle of top-of-the-line scooter products.
• The reaper style and extra-wide handlebars make for an ergonomic and comfortable position even for adult riders.
• This model scooter is jam-packed with state-of-the-art and top-of-the-line accessories and components. It is constructed using the absolute best for every part, down to the screws and bolts that hold everything together.

Cons:

• A bit pricy, but for a good reason. If you buy all the components included in this build separately and assemble them yourself, you would be paying 2 to 3 times as much. It is a steal for what you get but still outside the price range for some folks.

6) Fuzion Z250 Pro Scooters – Trick Scooter – Intermediate and Beginner Stunt Scooter

Another top-of-the-line scooter builds jam-packed with unique features and impressive components.

This Fuzion brand scooter was made for those who take their scooter seriously and want a model capable of performing various tricks and stunts.

The deck is slightly concave for kick, spin, and flip tricks, and it is covered with high-strength grip tape so your feet will never slip.

 

Next comes the one-piece stamped steel fork that is extra strong for taking some abuse through many tricks and stunt attempts.

This front steel fork plus rear one-piece housing holds some pro-level aluminum core PU cast wheels that offer a smooth gliding ride over bumpy sidewalks and rough streets.

 

Then comes an 83-degree angle headtube that holds onto a Chromoly steel bar by a double bolt clamp and capped by hex-grip handlebars.

The handles are set at the perfect angle for ergonomic performance and built to last through some serious use and abuse. The entire build is overbuilt to withstand overwhelming abuse and last a lifetime.

Pros:

• Comes with a 3-degree concave deck for an easier time performing kick, spin, and flip tricks and is covered in high-strength grip tape so your feet will never slip.
• One-piece stamped steel fork houses pro aluminum core cast PU wheels for a smooth gliding ride over even rough roads or bumpy sidewalks.
• Every component of this build was made to last, withstand a serious beating, and keep running smoothly. It all adds to a super-strong scooter that will last a lifetime.

Cons:

• Not every scooter ride needs such a serious and strongly built unit of its own. But, if you are a fan of having the best and top-of-the-line products, this scooter is perfect for you and is budget-friendly for everything you get.

7) BELEEV V5 Scooters for Kids

If you are buying a scooter for your elementary-aged school kids of 8 years old and up but that you will also be able to use, then look no further because this is the perfect scooter for your needs.

For starters, it comes in 5 different color choices for matching your kid’s style choice, and each one is vibrant and stunning.

 

The lightweight folding scooter body is easy to carry and requires little to no assembly as it is nearly ready to ride straight from the box.

Its super strong deck can hold up adults to 220 lbs, and you will get as much enjoyment from riding it as your kid. The unit features a steady T-bar that supports a wide-handled grip with rubber handgrips for a highly sturdy anti-wobble steering experience.

 

Then there is the safety-minded brake system which allows for quick stopping even from full speeds and is sturdy and reliable. Plus, this scooter comes equipped with extra-large 200 mm PU wheels.

Couple these with the shock-absorbing mechanism, and you get a super smooth ride no matter where you want to ride your scooter. This scooter makes the perfect option and gift for kids ages 8 up to teens.

Even you will get a real kick out of riding this kick scooter.

• Comes equipped with extra-large shock-absorbing wheels and a shock-absorbing piston on the fork, making it an incredibly smooth ride even over rougher terrain and less than ideal roads.

Cons:

• The only negative thing we could find someone saying about this model is that they wish it came with a kickstand. Besides that minor missing feature, it has everything you could want or expect from a kick scooter.

8) Razor S Folding Kick Scooter

A smaller version of the original Razor model A has been popular for decades, and this scooter is perfect for introducing young kids to the joys of riding a scooter.

It is made from high-strength and lightweight steel instead of the original aluminum body of model A, making it even tougher and more durable.

This scooter also folds up for easy carry and simple storage nearly anywhere.

 

So, you can fold the scooter up and take it with you on family outings like trips to the park or camping trips to keep the kids busy and entertained while you relax.

Its one-piece body design adds to its overall strength, and the solid bar T-bar holds up textured rubber hand grips on the handlebars.

Add this to the simple patented step-down rear brake, and you get an easy to control fun to ride a scooter that is the perfect starter for any kid.

It can hold up to 110 lbs, so your younger children will get years of use out of their scooter, and it will easily last this long.

Pros:

• The last scooter on our list is made by the superpower company in scooter design, Razor Scooters.
• The foldable single-piece lightweight steel body is easy to carry, pack with you, and store anywhere you need to put it.
• A solid steel T-bar holds up 15-inch-wide handlebars topped with rubber grips to control the scooter steering at any speed and without wobble.

Cons:

• The only real drawback is that the handlebar height is set and not adjustable. However, it will fit kids ages 5 and up, only up to 110 lbs.

 

OUTON Pro Aluminum Performance Freestyle Stunt Scooter

We will conclude this list with a slightly different scooter because we know that not everyone is looking for a scooter to go to work.

This scooter is a “stunt scooter” and one of the cheapest stunt scooters.

There are small wheels on this scooter, which means that even if you could use it for commuting, it probably wouldn’t work very well in the long run because the scooter will lack a bit of stability.

These wheels have been designed specifically for agility, which means you’ll be able to perform all sorts of weird and wonderful tricks with the scooter.

Unlike the other scooters on this list, this scooter has V-shaped handlebars rather than T-shaped ones, which also helps get around. However, it’s not particularly ideal for ensuring perfect stability.

Thanks to its aluminum frame, it’s also a lightweight scooter, making carrying your Outon freestyle stunt scooter a breeze.

However, you should know that this scooter is not designed for portability. You won’t be able to fold it, so this probably isn’t it if you’re looking for a scooter to take on your commute to work.

It’s probably the cheapest stunt scooter on the market that is viable for learning tricks. It can also handle up to 300 pounds, which means you can put a lot of pressure on it while having fun and doing the tricks you want.

 

Micro Mini Deluxe Kick Scooter

If your child is looking for a stylish scooter, and let’s face it, almost every kid is, then this one might be right for you.

It’s available in 8 different colors, which means you’ll be able to find one that perfectly suits their tastes.

It’s built for kids ages 2-5 and has a maximum weight limit of 75lbs.

You get a total handlebar adjustment, which can be moved from 17 to 25 inches, meaning that the scooter can “change” as your child grows!

One of the “features” we loved about this scooter is how close to the ground the board is, making it easier for your child to use and it’s easier to get on and off.

The wheels have a perfect “sliding” action and are perfectly silent. Unfortunately, there is no steering built into the handlebars. However, this is not a necessary feature. Most children do not find handlebar steering very intuitive.

When they steer, they want to move from side to side, which this scooter offers. If your child wants to steer to the left, he leans to the left. He leans to the right if he wants to move to the right.

As we mentioned before, this is ideal because it helps your child develop their coordination skills, which is incredibly important when they are young.

Thanks to the quality materials that the Micro Mini Deluxe was made with, your child will be able to ride it until he outgrows it.

 

Mongoose Expo Youth Scooter 12-Inch

This scooter radically differs from what we’ve already covered on this list. Indeed, it abandons the “traditional” scooter wheels and opts for air tires. There are several pros to this.

With traditional scooters, the wheels have very little play, meaning that, in most cases, you will be riding on a.

The tires are the same as those on bikes, which means you’ll be able to drive this scooter “off-road” easily, and many kids love doing that.

We especially like that this scooter works more like a BMX bike than a scooter. That means your child can do “stuff” with it.

This scooter is not built to get from point A to point B but is explicitly built for fun.

Despite its low price, this scooter has many safety features. Perhaps the most useful is the quality brakes offered on the handlebars.

Due to the configuration, the rear wheel will have no foot brake.

However, you can use the handlebar brakes as if riding a bike. You also have a lot of control over your speed.

This scooter is incredibly wide, so it’s not ideal for portability, but it’s fantastic for stability. The Mongoose scooter is a perfect replacement for a bicycle.

 

Neon Flash Kids Scooter

This scooter was built for children aged 5 to 12 years. The maximum weight that the Neon Flash Kids Scooter can support is 135 kg.

There is no need for batteries to power the lights. When the wheels move, the kinetic energy generates power for the lights.

But there’s more to this scooter than just the lights. It is a decent scooter and comes at a ridiculously low price for what you get.

That means a lightweight aluminum frame that, despite being light, provides excellent stability for the rider. It also means that the scooter will be effortless to transport. You can fold it flat and store it when you need it.

The scooter wheels have been designed to provide as smooth an experience as possible. They also have “silent” bearings, so you won’t hear anything when riding this scooter.

While there is no brake on the handlebars (which most kids’ scooters seem to lack), this scooter has one of the best rear brakes we’ve ever seen. Your child will have complete control over how fast they move.

The brake is also located in an easy-to-reach spot, which means he’ll be able to slow down instantly if necessary.

This scooter was built to last, and your child will love riding it.

 

Madd Gear MGP VX8 Freestyle Pro Scooter

 

That’s because it’s not designed to go long distances, it’s more of a “stunt” scooter, so if your child has known that they want to learn to do some tricks on a pedal scooter, this might be an excellent place to start.

This scooter was explicitly designed for children over the age of 6, with a maximum period of about 12.

However, a child can ride it into their early teens if they are younger.

This scooter is good for doing stunts because it does not weigh much. It only weighs a little over 3 kg, meaning it is also straightforward to carry.

On top of that, the wheels are smaller. This scooter has 4.3-inch wheels.

That means your kid will have a ton of control over the scooter, and without bulky wheels to get in the way, it’s going to be very easy to do “stuff” with it.

The board is also very grippy, so your child can easily perform tricks.

This scooter was built with the highest quality materials possible and will last for years. While there is also a 3-year warranty that comes standard with this scooter to give you total peace of mind.

 

 

Buying Guide for Picking Out The Perfect Kick Scooter

Before you buy a kick-powered scooter, you need to consider a few factors that will affect which scooter will best fit your needs.

The first of these is who you are buying the scooter for. Is it to be a gift for a young kid and, perhaps, their very first scooter? If so, you will want a smaller scooter, possibly one with adjustments, so that it can grow with your kid.

There are plenty of great options for these scooters packed with unique features, and you can buy endless accessories for customizing your kid’s scooter to match their style and needs.

If you are buying a child for a little bit older, and maybe one with experience on smaller scooters, you may want to go with one of the lovely tricks, and stunt scooter builds.

These models are unique and can perform flawlessly no matter what your teenager decides to use them for or put them through.

The best models are entire of high-end parts that make them last forever and are easily fixable should your kid somehow manage to break something. Plus, you can get some enjoyment out of one of these solid scooter models.

Finally, suppose you are looking to buy one for your older teenager or even for yourself to use while playing, spending time with your kids, and scooting together. In that case, you should look at any of the bigger model scooter models: those with adjustable height handlebars and those with wider set handlebars.

Wider and higher handlebars make riding and controlling a scooter easier when you are a full-grown person.

These models usually have plenty of other features like larger wheels for a smooth ride and performance-grade bearings so you can glide the furthest possible distance with each kick pushing you along.

These models are best for cruising around your neighborhood or maybe around a campground and making a quick trip to the local store for some dinner ingredients.

No matter which scooter you choose or who it is for, scooters are great for getting people outdoors, and you can get plenty of exercises and use from your scooters.

They are incredible inventions that can help keep your kids and yourself active and spend quality time together, creating new memories to last a lifetime.
