The 5 Best E-Scooters For Children – Guidebook

E-scooters are a great pastime for children. Like the grown-ups, they can whiz from A to B with their e-scooter for kids. An e-scooter for children should of course be adapted to their needs and, for example, be smaller and lighter than a conventional e-scooter.

To give you an overview, we have compiled the most exciting models of e-scooters for children in our product recommendations.

Checklist For E-Scooters For Children

Road Traffic
  • E-scooters are permitted in road traffic from the age of 14
  • Not every scooter has a road permit. Therefore, look for a general operating permit(type plate on the scooter). This is given to a model when it has been tested and approved by the Federal Motor Vehicle Authority. Similarly, working lights must be fitted to the front and rear, as scooters are also subject to the light time regulation
  • Power: Maximum 500 watts, must not be faster than 20 km/h
  • Range: Between 12 and 20 kilometers. Ride time can be about 45 min to an hour
  • Size: Most scooters are height adjustable on the handlebars. Make sure it has this feature and that it weighs less than about 12 kilograms so your child can carry it.
  • They may be transported on public transport at no extra charge . If they are foldable, there is no restriction here. If they cannot be folded, the same restrictions apply as for bicycles
E-Scooters for Children Under 14 Years Of Age
  • There are scooters for children under 14 years, these are less fast and are characterized by lower performance
  • Attention Use only in private areas! No road permission
  • Power: about 120 watts
  • Range: driving time of about 60 minutes. The range is less important with these models, as they may only be used on private property
  • Size: These models are also height adjustable
Structure And Equipment
  • Classic brakes, which are operated with the foot, are easier to use, especially for children
  • High-quality scooters impress with hydraulic disc brakes, larger pneumatic tires and a larger battery, which ensures a longer range
Safety
  • The permissible total weight varies from 100-160 kilograms. Therefore, be sure to observe the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Chooseage-appropriate models (e.g., reduce speed or choose slower machines)
  • Adapt to size (adjust handlebars)
  • Especially for children it is recommended to use a helmet
  • The younger the child, the lighter the scooter must be (otherwise risk of losing control)
