If you are looking for the perfect gift for an active child, kids scooters are a great idea. Scooters give kids freedom and fun on two wheels before they are old enough to ride a bike. Even older kids love scooters and will use them well into their teen years.
Okay, first up, why bother buying both a scooter and a skateboard when you can buy this two-in-one beast?
In terms of raw power, this scooter can reach speeds of seven miles per hour, which feels fast when you’re moving, but isn’t so fast you need to worry. Each charge will last around six miles. That may not seem like much to some, but is perfectly acceptable. It’s more than enough for most commutes (not that kids will be using it to commute).
The tires come in a five-inches. They’re nice and thick, leading to a smoother ride, the lithium-ion battery is rechargeable, and this board is water-resistant.
The max load for this thing is 132 pounds, which means they won’t be able to use it as an adult, but if you buy this early enough in life you’re guaranteed to get a ton of usage out of it.
And, of course, as they get older and want a more thrilling experience, the neck and handlebars are completely removable.
It’s stylish, powerful, and the two-in-one feature is sure to lead to a lot of exciting adventures.
For a start, the three-wheeled nature of this scooter means it’s safer than the traditional two-wheelers.
While this scooter is designed to last, no scooter is impervious to rust and everyday usage. It’s just not possible. The Micro Kickboard, however, knows it can’t fight time, which is why every piece of this kickboard is replaceable.
Moving on to the more superficial elements, there’s a huge selection of colors of this model available, so your child will have no trouble expressing themselves.
Do note, though, you’ll need to tighten the handlebar clamp to the right resistance using the included tool. Some scooters don’t make a note of this, so it’s good to see brands putting that info front and center for a change.
This electric scooter from Razor is an awesome gift for kids ages eight and up (up to 120 lbs). This scooter features new power core technology and design, giving a 2x increase in ride time and 50% more power than Razor’s original electric razor. This scooter is completely maintenance free and ready to go out of the box. Kids can go up to 10mph with a kick start, high torque hub, push button throttle, and hand-operated front fender brake. This scooter also features a soft urethane front wheel for a smooth ride, and a retractable kickstand.
Just look at this thing! The Lascoota Scooter has style for days.
Everything just looks better in black, and while girls are more likely to go with bright colors, boys prefer sleek style above all else.
In terms of safety, this scooter ticks all the boxes. It’s lightweight, meaning steering is a breeze, and the non-slip, weight absorbing and extra-wide deck means foot placement is easy and intuitive.
What’s also cool is this scooter is designed to grow with your child, as the neck can be easily adjusted as your child gets older.
Don’t you just love not having to buy new toys to fit your child? If only clothes worked like that!
Although the age recommendation isn’t stated, this scooter stands weights of up to 220 pounds, so I’d say it’s a great option for tweens or teens.
This popular scooter is designed for ages two to five, and has some really fun and unique features that kids love.

The Mongoose scooter has a unique design with large, air filled tires. This lets kids take it off road, on gravel, dirt, or grass with no difficulty. This scooter has BMX freestyle rotor and axle pegs, making it ready for tricks and able to stand up to just about anything.
The Original Space Scooter is designed for kids aged four to eight years old. This uniquely designed scooter has a chain driven, human powered propulsion system. This means that instead of standing on the scooter with one foot and pushing with the other, kids move the standing platform up and down like a teeter-totter in order to propel the scooter. The scooter also has air suspension for a smooth ride and a hand brake on the rear wheel for safety.
Here is another toddler 3 wheel scooter for little riders. The extra wide deck is also slip resistant, and the rear wheel base is extra wide to decrease the risk of falling. This scooter is low profile to make scooting easier, since they will not have to reach as far to the ground. The wheels are extra large and soft for a smooth ride. The frame is made of sturdy steel, and the T bar is padded for comfort and safety. This scooter supports riders up to 145 lbs. It comes in two colors – Blue and pink.
The original Razor scooter is still as fun and popular as ever, and is a great gift for kids ages five and up. This scooter can handle weights up to 143 lbs. It is made of aircraft-grade aluminum for lightweight strength, and has a patented T-tube and deck design that folds up for easy transport and storage. The inline wheels are made of 98mm urethane and have high quality ABEC5 bearings. The rear fender brake is unique and easy to operate, allowing for fast stops and tricks.
This scooter from Radio Flyer is perfect for first riders, ages two to five. This scooter has a wide base and specially designed turning radius in order for beginners to develop balance and coordination without compromising safety. The hand grips are designed for small hands, with a soft grippy texture. The deck is textured for even more traction and stability. Any toddler will love this gift, and you can enjoy watching the joy on their face as they learn to ride!
Here is an awesome combination scooter and balance bike for very young toddlers. Balance bikes allow kids as young as one to two years old start to learn how to balance on two wheels without having to learn the intricacies of pedaling and braking a real bike.
This fun ride on toy easily transforms into a scooter with a simple twist and click of the seat/foot board. This toy features a three wheel design for more balance and stability, making it an awesome gift for younger toddlers. The stem on the scooter is adjustable for growing kids, so this toy will last for many years. It is designed for kids ages two to five years old.
This is a scooter designed for really young kids, but remove the seat and it’s great for older kids, too.
So, let’s breakdown some stats. With the seat down, this scooter is suitable for ages two to six with a weight limit of 44 pounds. But remove the seat, and it’s perfect for kids up to 12 years with a weight limit of 110 pounds.
This is a killer idea I’m surprised more scooters aren’t offering. While they’re young they can master the art of balance, then when they’re ready for a more traditional scooter, just remove the seat and you’re good to go.
And it saves parents needing to buy a scooter for when they’re older, which is always a plus!
