Tips for choosing the best electric scooter for kids You’ll want to consider a few things when looking for a good electric scooter:

will they play in the street or is it for going out on longer ‘walks’ – battery life could be a concern.

is it suitable for your child’s weight?

How fast does it go?

How is the speed and braking controlled?

Can you get a seated version?

Our electric scooter reviews – 2017 Razor E100 Electric Scooter

Top of our list of kids electric scooters is the Razor E100. Now Razor feature highly in

my list as they have quite a few options depending on what you want and they are a

reputable brand. I think this one is the most popular that they make and would be good

for most kids.

Compared to the E90 below, this one has a larger frame and can take a slightly heavier

child – 54kg instead of 50kg. It also has a twist throttle to enable speed variations.

The batter will last for about 40 mins on full charge so definitely enough to start getting

them outside and playing in some fresh air each day.

comes in four colour options – red, pink, silver and navy-red

Razor Power Core E100

As I said, there are a few options within the Razor brand and although this one is also

an E100 it’s a ‘Power Core’ version. What this means is that it has a higher torque

motor inside. It’s also 16% lighter than the classic model and is pretty much

maintenance free as there is no chain driven motor. The ride time of this one is 60

mins, I imagine due to the lighter material.

Electric E Scooter

If budget is a primary concern for you then this electric scooter might well fit the bill. It’s

about a third of the price of the Razor brands and so represents good value. It states

that you can go 15-20km on a single charge and since the speed of it is 12km per hour

it should be able to be used for at least an hour and probably a bit more outside. The

weight limit is generous and so should make it a good choice for heavier kids or teens.

weight limit 70kg

speed – 12km/h

iScoot V3 electric scooter

This scooter from iScoot is another pretty decent budget option. It does get mixed

reviews though due to build quality and possibility of brakes binding although this may

be a localised problem as there are plenty of people who are really happy too.

With a top speed of 7.5 mph this one is much slower so perhaps good if you’re a little

worried about speed! It lasts for a journey of up to 6.2 miles so not quite an hour of

play. It has a maximum load of 80kg so again slightly more than the Razor scooters

and good if your kids are a bigger.

Best seated electric scooter Razor E100S Seated Electric Scooter

If you’re after a more leisurely scooter or you think your kids would just like the option to

sit down while scooting around then the seated version of the E100, the E100S is a

great option.

The seat is removable which means you can have it just like the classic version

reviewed above. The stats are pretty much the same too with a 40 minute ride time on

a full charge and a top speed of 10 mph.
