Scooter is far from a toy, but a real vehicle that helps quickly and comfortably overcome small distances. It belongs to the category of the most affordable due to the extremely simple design. Its use gives joy and promotes physical development. Is it worth asking after that the question whether the child needs a scooter? However, we are not only talking about children, although this article is mainly devoted to them. We learn the basic rules for choosing such a simple, but amazing transport.
The beginning of the choice is the study of the main characteristics
You can distinguish scooters for preschoolers, schoolchildren and adults. The “character” of the product must correspond to the individual characteristics of the owner: weight, height, size of shoes. The determining indicator is the maximum permissible load. For example, the Yedoo Mezeq V-Brake model withstands 150 kg, suitable for enthusiastic teenagers and adults, and Puky R 03L is designed for 50 kg, so it refers to children. Also, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics:
steering height;
platform size (deck) for the leg;
wheels diameter and the presence of shock absorbers;
weight, size of the structure, the possibility of folding;
the presence of brakes and the convenience of management in general.
Today, even budget models cannot be called simple. For example, Profi Trike BB 3-008-1, designed for the smallest riders-weighing up to 20 kg, is equipped with a knife brake, adjustable steering wheel, three PVC wheels with a diameter of almost 10 cm, plus has a folding structure. This is only one option of hundreds, so the choice will be interesting. And if parents should focus on technical characteristics, then children – on the design. In this regard, any dreams are fulfilled!
Best skating – safe skating
As it was already possible to make sure, in addition to two-wheeled models, there are three-wheeled and even four-wheeled, for example, Profi Trike SC 4-1. The stability of transport depends on this indicator. If the child only learns to control the scooter, develops a sense of balance, it is better to purchase two options: three- or four-wheeled for the first stage of training, two-wheeled for further improvement of skills.
As in any business, safety here is above all, therefore, you should also pay attention to the quality of the brake system and the convenience of its use. Usually the brake of the foot, but sometimes it is put on the steering wheel, here we will again mention the Yedoo Mezeq V-Brake model. It is also very noteworthy that she has inflatable wheels, in addition, a large diameter is about 50 and 40 cm. Such a scooter can safely be called a real SUV.
During skiing, you need to use protective equipment: helmet, slabs, knee pads. It is also important to take care of the non -slip pens coating – it must be wiped to control the road as much as possible. It is required to regularly serve the main details of the structure. Sons, and daughters, can make a company of dads in this matter, and maybe mothers, which will help to obtain new important skills. So the scooter is an excellent contender for the role of the first transport and, possibly, a passion for life!
