Mini Electric Scooters

The craze for motorized scooters for kids continues to sweep America and mini electric scooters are just right for younger children who are moving on from push scooters.

The first mini electric scooter that I saw was the X-treme X-10 scooter that my husband bought for our son, Paul, at Christmas and he’s always out on the pavement riding about in the fresh air. Its top speed is 8mph and its range is just 5 miles, so I never worry about him going too fast or too far away from home. My husband chose it because of its good safety features which include a variable speed twist throttle, which means that if Paul ever falls off it will stop immediately. And it has a good rear hand lever operated brake, so if he accidentally goes off the pavement, he can brake straightaway.

This model of mini electric scooter is recommended for kids that weigh no more than 100 lbs. It’s got 6″ solid, polyurethane tires that give him a smooth ride and the handlebars are adjustable for height, so when he grows it will grow with him. It came complete with two 2 volt sealed batteries which are easy to recharge on a regular electric outlet for between 3
