Hardly any child does not own a scooter. Whether in front of the house, with friends, or on the way to school/kindergarten. Everything is nicer with the scooter! To find the right scooter for your child and do nothing wrong, we have summarized everything important for you.
Our checklist and recommendations make the purchase easier for you and are available for advice!
- The load capacity limit must not be exceeded. Read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. As a rule, children’s scooters are loadable up to 60-120 kg. If the maximum weight is exceeded, injuries and a broken scooter can be the result.
- Make sure that your child wears protective clothing. At least a helmet should be put on. We also advise you to wear sturdy shoes to prevent accidents.
- You can recognize good quality by the test seal (e.g. TÜV or ADAC).
- With pedal scooters you can distinguish between different sizes and age groups. You should adapt the scooter to the age and height of your child. Height-adjustable models are therefore recommended so that the children’s scooter can be used for a long time.
- Some models, especially for younger children, also offer a seat function that is either permanently attached or can be flexibly folded.
- Especially for toddlers we recommend a scooter with 3 wheels because so, in the beginning, the balance can be kept better and the children are safer on the road.
- Accessories such as bell, flag or light effects provide even more excitement.
- You can choose between rubber and plastic tires. Rubber as a material has clear advantages in terms of suspension and can also be used super on uneven surfaces. Plastic tires are more robust.
- Otherwise, scooters are made of metal. Many models for older children have a flat tread surface, so that sharp edges are often found. You should pay attention to this, so that your child does not hurt himself.

FAQ For Scooters For Kids
Most children can handle a scooter from about 3 years and do not need much instruction. However, you should always follow the manufacturer’s specifications and safety instructions. Versions with three wheels are particularly suitable for beginners. In general, individual development should be taken into account to avoid falls and accidents as much as possible.
Which tires a pedal scooter for children should have depends on the environment in which it will be used. Pneumatic tires, for example, are suitable for off-road use, while plastic tires work particularly well in the city.
Which scooter to buy depends on the child. Young children (2-3 years old) find it especially easy to get started with scooters that have three wheels. For older children, two-wheel scooters are suitable. Size and equipment depend on body size and environment or road conditions.
As a rule, speeds of up to 50 km/h can be reached with a pedal scooter. Children, however, tend to be between 3 and 10 km/h.
The scooter was invented in the 19th century. More precisely, Karl von Drais developed the scooter in 1817.
The size of the scooter should be adjusted to the height of your child. Thus, at a height of 100 cm, a scooter with a height of about 40 to 50 cm should be chosen. For taller children from 160 cm, a scooter size from 80 cm is recommended. We also recommend a height-adjustable model.
A pedal scooter is a vehicle for getting around. The scooter is driven with one foot and the other foot is placed on the scooter.
A scooter has many different names. These include, for example, scooter, kick scooter or simply scooter.
