When picking out a scooter for you or your kid, many options are available, and knowing where to start your shopping can be challenging.

One of the first considerations you need to make after choosing which type of scooter you want to buy is the brand of scooter you want.

Distinct brands offer different benefits and different drawbacks. Some are better equipped to build certain types of scooters than others, and some offer much better customer service than other brands.

So, which brands are better than others, and what does each different scooter brand have to offer you? Well, here are the top 12 scooter brands and what sets each one apart from the rest:

 

Reviews of Each Scooter Brand

1) Razor

Razor is the most well-known of all the scooter-producing companies in existence. It is single-handedly responsible for the rise of the scooter at the end of the last millennium, and that scooter revolution has continued until today.

Their products include a long list that involves kick scooters, rip sticks, skateboards, electric scooters, hoverboards, electric rides, trikes, skates, junior scooters, and plenty of scooter accessories as well. They are the go-to scooter brand that is usually at the forefront of all the latest trends in the industry.

Pros:

• The original scooter manufacturer responsible for the scooter revolution of the last 20+ years.
• They offer an incredibly long list of products that includes kick scooters, junior scooters, hoverboards, lipsticks, trikes, skates, electric scooters, electric rides, and a vast array of scooter/riding accessories, including pads and other safety equipment plus much more.
• They have an extensive customer service center that goes above and beyond to satisfy customers with their products’ purchases.

Cons:

• You pay a little extra for the brand name, but only on some products. Some of their other products are produced so much that they are cheaper to the consumer.

2) Mongoose

Mongoose started as a BMX bike maker, and they made a strong name for themselves by producing only top-quality products.

They now sponsor racers and athletes in various extreme sports and have continued to expand their product line to include their pro or expert freestyle kick scooters and their React lineup of electric scooters.

These scooters are for the more serious scooter rider who wants the highest performance out of their scooter.

Mongoose is also well known for taking great care of its customers. However, they do not have the largest customer service department around.

They are still mainly a bike manufacturer but have done a little more than just dipped their toes into the scooter market. They did this with their lineup of scooters for professional athletes to ride in extreme sports competitions focused on performing tricks and stunts.

Pros:

• Originally a BMX bike manufacturer, they have thrown their hat in the ring with a scooter building.
• Their lineup of professional and expert quality scooters is limited but is made with an intense focus on quality and durability.
• Professional athletes rode these new Mongoose scooters in extreme sports competitions where they performed various stunts and tricks using street course features and ramps.

Cons:

• Have a limited lineup of scooters with only a few available in both kick and electric models, less than a dozen total.
• They also have a limited-sized customer service center. Still, they manage to satisfy customers using the customer service department they do have available.

3) Arcade

Arcade has begun making a strong name in this industry, a slightly lesser-known scooter brand, and among other action sports equipment manufacturers.

They make skateboards and scooters focusing on getting kids involved in the sports, but they make their equipment well enough that adult-sized riders can do just as much as the kids can using them.

Their Defender series scooters are their initial lineup that can carry riders up to the more experienced intermediate-level riders.

Then, they have their A+ lineup. This second lineup is made explicitly for those expert-level riders who want to perform the sickest stunts and tricks using their scooter, and they even come with axle pegs built in that come standard on all the models. These pegs are typically used for grinding on rails and other street course features, but younger riders are getting good at riding and creating all sorts of tricks and stunts using these professional-level scooters and their built-in axle pegs.

Pros:

• A lesser-known but up-and-coming action sports equipment manufacturer.
• They make unique skateboards and two lines of kick scooters, the Defender series for beginner to intermediate level riders and the A+ for expert-level scooter operators.
• Their A+ series lineup of scooters is made for riders to perform the most insane stunts possible. They even come equipped with built-in axle pegs for grinding on street-course features.

Cons:

• It is a smaller and lesser-known company that has just begun to make a name for itself. Still, they have already garnered a reputation for manufacturing nothing but the highest quality products.

 

4) Vokul

Vokul is a brand-new scooter-only manufacturing company from Long Beach, California. They have already made a solid name for themselves in the last 3 years since they started building scooters.

Their lineup of full-build scooters has made it to at least four distinct model lines designed for a diverse range of riders, from vert ramp to street course riders.

They sponsor their team of scooter operators for competition-level riding and from younger ages up to adult riders. So, they have gone in full bore and thrown their name in the mix with the biggest names in scooter brands. We cannot wait to see what is next for this up-and-coming scooter brand, as we are sure they are destined for massive things in the future. They may be the future face of scooter-riding sports.

Pros:

• A brand-new (3-year-old) scooter manufacturing brand based in Long Beach, California.
• They have at least 4 unique and distinct scooter lines designed for riders of diverse types and styles. The scooters they build come ready for either vert riders, street course riders, freestyle urban riders, and more extreme operator styles.
• This scooter brand sponsors an entire team of scooter riders for competition-level riding in various extreme sporting events.

Cons:

• They have not done the greatest job advertising their brand name, so few people know about them. Currently, only pro-level scooter riders know about the brand, which should change as soon as possible because this brand has a lot to offer riders of all experience levels.

5) Fuzion

This brand is another relatively small extreme sports equipment manufacturer that only makes high-end and professional-grade scooters. They are a scooter engineering firm pioneering various unique technology advances in scooter parts. They make a whole line of aftermarket parts to fix any scooter base model you may already have from another manufacturer.

They make full-build models for kids in their X series lineup and a full lineup of adult model scooters in their Z-series scooters. Each line has two or three independent build models with variations of each type.

Fuzion is based out of Emeryville, California, and they offer a full warranty on all their parts, accessories, and especially on their full scooter builds. You need to register your scooter ownership when you purchase your scooter using the unique model number etched into the frame of your scooter and also printed in the package for an easy find. Once registered, your scooter is covered for 2 years in nearly every way from top to bottom. They stand behind their parts because they are manufactured to incredibly detailed specifications.

They have two major types of scooter full-build models:

• The x-series, which is made for younger kids
• The z-series is made for professional-grade riding teens and adults.

Pros:

• New scooter manufacturer who has gotten deeply involved in manufacturing scooters only. It is what they specialize in, and they do an excellent job of moving the technologies of scooters forward.
• They offer a 2-year warranty on their scooter builds and stand fully behind their work and parts. You must register your scooter using its unique model number etched into the frame with full builds.

Cons:

• A high-end scooter manufacturer, and as such, they come at a higher cost, but you get what you pay for, and Fuzion scooters are worth every penny.

6) Root Industries

In their self-proclaimed “Pursuit of Perfection”, Root Industries has designed innovative parts for their scooter builds, including the Air Professional Forks carved from a single piece of aluminum to make them ultra-lightweight and stronger than any other forks on the market.

It also includes the ultra-lightweight Air Galaxy wheels but is made from a super-strong polyurethane material. Their wheel material is just soft enough to absorb some of the shocks encountered from landing tricks or riding over imperfections in the riding surface. Still, it is strong enough not to wear down or bend when put under extreme heat as they speed along using the self-made version of the ABEC-9 bearings.

As you may be beginning to see, they have thought out every aspect of their scooter builds and figured out ways to make each piece as good as possible and near perfection as any scooter brand can. They focus on researching and developing new parts and accessories for their scooters.

Their full build lineups are for the highest-level scooter riders to enjoy the best available high-end professional-level scooters.

Pros:

• They build their parts, including forks made from a single piece of aluminum and wheels made of cutting-edge materials.
• This brand was made to offer professional and experienced scooter operators a high-end build with every single part, bolt, and screw designed to perform to the maximum level.

Cons:

• Root Industries is a high-end, top-of-the-line scooter manufacturer, and as such, they cost a pretty penny to get your hands on one of these fantastic machines.

7) Micro Kickboard

A unique house name brand that produces their line of scooters for every single size and experience level of rider is out there from little kids’ 3-wheeled scooters to adult large-wheeled scooters and includes everything in between these levels.

They are made of an award-winning swiss design manufactured with close attention paid to every detail of their scooter model builds.

Their safety-minded production process is excellent for their workers and riding customers, making them a conscientious brand name innovating for the future of scooter manufacturing, even though they have already been around for over 20 years. Even after these two decades in the scooter building business, they are still at the forefront of scooter production brands.

Micro was the original company that designed the foldable PU wheel model of a scooter at the turn of the millennium that they sold to Razor, which became the uber-popular A1 scooter that changed the world of scooting forever.

Pros:

• A top-notch, Swiss-based scooter designer and manufacturer places extreme emphasis on building quality scooter parts and accessories.
• Micro was the designer behind the original foldable PU wheel model that they then sold to Razor, and it became the A1 model scooter that changed the industry of scooting forever.
• They have twenty-plus years of experience designing and building nothing but the best scooters for riders of every possible size or experience level.

8) Segway Ninebots

The Segway brand makes robotic and electric mobility devices, from the Segway that most people are familiar with to a kick scooter and from a moped to e-skates.

They cover all aspects of robotic transportation but specifically speaking about the kick scooter Ninebots lineup. They are made of aircraft-grade aluminum, which is extremely lightweight and simultaneously strong.

They feature a 40 mm shock absorber in front and the high elasticity airless rubber tires, and you get a super buttery smooth ride wherever you ride your kick scooter.

As a major plus, this line of kick scooters is electric motor-assisted, so you do not always have to kick to get going. Instead, you can use the thumb-controlled throttle to boost your speeds up to 19 MPH with a range of 28 miles when using the electric motor constantly. This electric motor is powered by a new lithium-ion battery technology that offers this scooter line a superior power source that is compact and uber-powerful.

All of this is just the beginning of what the Segway brand offers. They make a huge array of excellent devices for getting around with the assistance of electric motors or robotic engineering.

They make dirt bikes, scooters, e-skates, single-wheel riders, two-wheel Segways, etc. They even have designed a small robot that follows you around as you cruise on any of these devices. The video records your journey for you.

All their products are innovative, cutting edge, and representative of the progression of human transportation in the future.

Pros:

• The Segway brand makes an enormous range of personal mobility devices. They make mopeds, dirt bikes, kick scooters with electric assist motors, single-wheel riders, e-skates, their original two wheels stand up a rider that everyone knows them for, and so much more.
• They are a well-known and top-producing brand name that constantly releases new technologies into the marketplace.
• Their products are cutting-edge technologies that are uber high quality and built to last. Even with the latest engineering on board, they stand behind every part of their products with a strong warranty.

Cons:

• Their products are innovative and industry-leading designers, so you may find their products to be a bit pricey. Again, we repeat the adage that you get what you pay for, and Segway is another representation of precisely that saying.

9) Lascoota

Lascoota is a beautiful brand that has made super-safe scooters for people of every age.

They make a small 3-wheel model scooter for little kids to learn the physical mechanics of riding a scooter while still being steady on a solidly designed scooter. The kids’ scooter even comes with a removable seat so the little kids can sit and scoot to begin learning.

Then, as they get older, you can remove the seat, and they can learn how to kick power a scooter around before moving on to the teen model scooters. The teen model scooters are similar to the typical folding model scooters that everyone makes with a few unique twists.

One of those twists is that they have their proprietary wheels made of high-quality, durable PU rubber that make them last for thousands of miles and are just soft enough to help provide a buttery smooth ride.

Then there are the largest model scooters they make for adults to ride. Using one of these adult scooters, you can easily and comfortably ride alongside your kids. You both ride scooters together around the neighborhood, campground, park, or anywhere else you want to ride your scooters.

You will create some long-lasting memories of journeys together with your children, and they are memories your kids will cherish for the rest of their lives, even long after you are gone.

Pros:

• The Lascoota scooters come in three levels: kids, teens, and adult models.
• Their kids’ scooter has 3 wheels and a removable seat to allow your kids to learn to scoot at their own pace while still being safe during their rides.
• Their teen and adult model scooters come equipped with their version of PU rubber wheels that are the perfect density to both last for thousands of miles of riding and be soft enough to allow for a super smooth ride over bumpy surfaces and the cracks in the sidewalk.

Cons:

• They only have one model for each age group, but they come in various color schemes, so you can pick one to match your or your kids’ exact style preferences.

10) Beleev

The Beleev company is a relatively small scooter and skateboard manufacturing company but has carved out a piece of the market using bright colors and light-up kick scooters.

Some of the kick scooters they designed are made for the youngest kids, while they have also produced various models for older kids, teenagers, and even adults. They even offer a few different warranties on all their products, from a 7-day to a 30-day satisfaction warranty. It covers from the payment for return shipping to a full 1-year product repair warranty which they honor by fixing any issues you may have with the parts of their products.

All three of these warranties combine to make it worth the chance to check out their scooters for your kids. You kids will love the looks of these scooters.

The light-up models they produce are great for small and younger kids because they help make your kids stand out as they ride their scooters around by flashing bright, multicolored LED lights on various parts of the scooter.

There have been many great reviews and consumer reports relating to the Beleev brand, and we believe that you can trust them to make a quality kick-powered scooter for yourself and your kids.

Pros:

• They make various scooters for people of all age ranges and skateboards of varying styles for different age groups to enjoy.
• The three warranties they offer combine to cover every different situation you may face with any scooter order. From the 7-day DOA warranty and the 30-day satisfaction guarantee to the 1-year product repair warranty, they have you covered in every possible manner.
• The scooters that Beleev is most well-known for are their super brightly colored models with multicolored LED lights that flash and spin around in the wheels, making any kid extremely visible. The darker it gets outside, the more visible the rider becomes.

Cons:

• Beleev is a relatively small and lesser-known scooter manufacturer. Although they have already made a solid name for themselves for making quality products, the reports/reviews surrounding this brand have been overwhelmingly positive.

11) Swagtron

You can ride with swag when choosing a Swagtron scooter for your transportation or a joyride. This brand also makes hoverboards, electric bikes, skateboards, and many accessories to accompany these distinct types of action sports hardware and equipment.

This company’s reputation is one of having high-quality products with reasonable prices, the perfect combination that any company would be proud to be known by, and they have earned it.

Their product lineup starts with toddlers’ scooter mobility trainers and 3-wheel scooters and then progresses up to kid’s scooters of both kick-powered and electric-powered versions.

Then comes the teen and adult models of scooters start with the foldable, stunt, and all-terrain kick scooters and progress up to their fantastic Swagger electric scooters with varying technical innovations.

Some of these revolutionary innovations include extended-distance electric motors and high-speed scooters that reach 20 MPH or more, faster than nearly every other brand’s electric scooters.

Finally, their product lineup extends well beyond the typical mobility/transportation devices of hoverboards, electric-powered bicycles, and skateboards to include some revolutionary products like their underwater scooter.

We cannot wait to see what Swagtron will come up with next.

Pros:

• Swagtron makes many products: hoverboards; kick and electric-powered scooters for kids, teens, and adults; electric-powered bicycles; skateboards; and many accessories for all these transportation devices like safety equipment.
• Their revolutionary product line is capped off by a fantastic underwater scooter designed to propel divers, swimmers, and snorkelers through the water at breakneck speeds.
• A company with a reputation for creating the highest quality products at the most reasonable prices. The best claim to fame for any company.

Cons:

• Some of their more innovative designs come with a heftier price tag. While they have very reasonably priced models for most devices, you will have to pay for them if you want the absolute top-of-the-line.

12) VIRO Rides

VIRO Rides’ products are unique and unmistakable compared to all other scooter brands. While most scooters have stuck to the same basic design and just made variations on the established set of parts, VIRO set out to change the face of scooting by adapting the basic design to reflect the innovative spirit of the sport.

While scooter manufacturing may seem to have hit a plateau, this brand has chosen to continue seeking new ways to adapt the sport of scooting and advance it and its evolution into whatever it will become tomorrow.

The VIRO Vega 2-in-1 scooter adapts easily to change into a minibike. So, you can go from stand-up scooting to sit down riding in a flash and cruise around under the power of the same electric motor by just folding up or retracting down a few different pieces.

This easily converted piece of equipment looks like nothing you have seen, with sleek, futuristic-looking lines and a style. Plus, that is not the end of this brand’s product lineup. They also produce another electric scooter line for adults and kids.

Finally, they have an entire lineup of kick-powered scooters too. These include a stunt model, a speeder model for teens and adults, an all-terrain version, an urban big pneumatic wheel scooter, and a super bright light-up scooter that is jam-packed with over 50 multicolored LED lights.

They have created a market niche with their brand-new ideas, innovative technologies, and incredible product quality. They will not soon give up this place they carved for themselves and will continue making new additions that will surprise us for years.

Pros:

• The VIRO company created the fantastic Vega 2-in-1 electric scooter and minibike convertible model as unique as innovative.
• They also make an entire lineup of kick-powered and electric scooters, including stunt, all-terrain, urban pneumatic wheel, long-range electric, and more models that all have their unique place in scooting.
• They have carved themselves out of the marketplace by gaining a reputation for creating innovative, unique, stylish, and otherwise fantastic hardware that keeps the scooter world on the edge of its seats with each new addition to their line of products.

Cons:

• Because of the amount of research, development, and testing involved, their unique products come with a slightly higher than average price tag, but for the final time, we repeat the adage that you get what you pay for.
