The first independent transport: TOP 5 kickboard scooters

Mechanical kickboards are a significant source of income for Babyhit. Light, manoeuvrable and fast enough — they transport children from the age of two to three years old. The Enjoy model with classic character traits is in great demand in east european realities.

The children's kickboard is mounted on a trio of polyurethane wheels that twinkle with coloured lights when moving. The tandem of the front has a diameter of 12 cm, and the twin wheel from the rear is 8 cm. The "foot" of the foot brake of increased width is connected to the rear wheel, which guarantees a short braking distance of the kickboard.

The "rights" to control the scooter are given to children from the age of 3. As the rider grows, the telescopic steering column is lifted, which has three fixing positions. With his hands, the baby holds on to the rubber grips on the steering wheel during the rides, which tend to spread out to the sides. The problem is solved by periodically placing them in a legally provided place with their own hands.

The wide platform for the legs can withstand a load of up to 60 kg. A couple more advantages to the karma of the model are added by reliable ABEC-7 bearings and the democratic cost of the kickboard. Only the build quality is slightly lame, so do not forget to check the tightening of the bolts at the stage of receiving the goods from the seller — unfortunately, Babyhit Enjoy has unresolved issues on this programme item. Although you can't call them regular.

A popular kickboard served as a role model for the "construction" of a three-wheeled scooter of Italian blood under the Trolo brand sign Micro Maxi Price from 4 200 up to 4 600 ₴. Structurally, both "horses" are practically indistinguishable from each other, but you can save a lot on buying an analogue model.

Trolo Maxi is recommended for kids from 4 years old. The "ceiling" of the load capacity of the scooter is 50 kg, which makes the model suitable for children of different complexions. The landing of the small rider is adjusted by adjusting the steering rack in height (in the range from 67 to 90 cm). You can ride a kickboard with such data right up to the school itself.

The principle of controlling the turns of the scooter is implemented by deflecting the steering column in the desired direction. The dual design of its front wheels will come in handy for kids who have not yet learned how to properly keep their balance. The rear wheel of the Trolo Maxi is covered with a mini-wing that performs the function of a foot brake. By the way, there are versions of the model with both conventional polyurethane wheels and those that glow when driving in the dark.

There are no special claims to the scooter. With the exception of perhaps too low clearance. However, the kickboard is not sharpened a priori for the conquest of off-road, but it rushes along asphalt surfaces and paving slabs like clockwork. At the same time, nothing in its design rattles, and small backlashes appear only after a long operational period. An additional argument "for" is the affordable cost of the model, which will not become a burden for the family low-cost.

Micro scooters are perhaps one of the most common frequenters of playgrounds. Kids aged 2 to 5 years will have a Mini Deluxe model at the time, presented on store shelves in two dozen colours for every taste and colour.

The Swiss "horse" is placed on a trio of polyurethane wheels (two in front and one in the back), which contribute to the better balance of the little rider. The baby's legs stand on the deck with an anti-slip coating, the height-adjustable steering rack (48-68 cm) is designed to strengthen the overall positive impression of the model. In one sitting, it can be removed from the "body" of the Micro Mini Deluxe for greater convenience of storing or transporting the scooter in the boot of a car.

The model is capable of taking on board riders of the weight category up to 35 kg. Moreover, the scooter's own weight barely reaches 2 kg, which means that it will not be burdensome for a small child to roll a kickboard with his own hand. That's just closer to the first half—wheel of the "rider", the scooter will be asked for a replacement — children over 5 years old quickly grow out of the model.

With proper handling, the kickboard will serve more than one generation of kids — there is essentially nothing to break in its design. The base of the scooter is made of durable non-toxic plastic reinforced with fibreglass. Also, the steering rack with a tilt-and-turn mechanism is famous for its "survivability". But the main thing is that the "faithful horse" gives kids joy, a sense of independence and unforgettable emotions from rides.

The Globber Evo Comfort, a French scooter of a unique mindset, combines several vehicles for the youngest under one wing at once: a children's bicycle with a handle, a running bike and a kickboard.

In the maximum "body kit", the model can be put into operation starting from the first year of the baby's life. The landing of the younger rider is made in a comfortable ergonomic seat, and the transformer is rolled with the help of a parent handle (in the manner of children's bicycles). From the age of one and a half, the auxiliary handle is subject to dismantling and the child begins to ride, pushing off with two legs from the ground. For the convenience of landing, the seat in the treadmill mode is adjustable in height. The maximum load on it is limited to 20 kilograms.

The "saddle" part of the Globber Evo Comfort is removed literally in one sitting, as a result of which the model appears before us in the guise of a kickboard scooter. At first, as long as learning the basics of riding lasts, the front wheels can be blocked in order to avoid the "three-wheeled horse" falling on its side, then the scooter grows with the child. As the rider grows up, the steering column is subject to "up-down" adjustment.

The key element of the braking system in the design of the model is an enlarged wing, pressed by the leg of the "rider" to the rear wheel. The scooter also got glowing wheels and a shining bell that gives light and sound signals when pressed. Equal Globber Evo Comfort in the discipline "Practicality" can be counted on the fingers of one hand, for which the hybrid is honored to be called the best product in the class for the comprehensive development of motor skills in children.

The scooter of the Austrian breed Scoot & Ride Highway Kick 1 is addressed to children from 1 year old. At first, he is good in the role of a running bike, and as the child grows up, the model transforms into a kickboard "taxiway" with a slight movement of the hand, which is produced by deviations of the steering rack in the direction of the turn.

The points of support and contact with the roadbed for the scooter are a trio of polyurethane wheels. The steering column of the model plays the role, in fact, of a steering wheel and a rearranged seat for the smallest, designed for a maximum load of up to 20 kg.At the stage of acquaintance with the scooter, it will be much more convenient for the child to push off with his legs from the ground while staying in a sitting position.

For the benefit of the safety of riding behind the wheel of a transformer kickboard, Austrian engineers Scoot & Ride have put into service a unique device that provides protection against the rider tipping over the steering wheel. Also, the hybrid scooter got hold of a foot brake for more confidence on the road.

The height of the seat (22-29 cm) and the steering column (57-64 cm) are subject to adjustments in the design of the model. As you can see, there is no special margin for changing the height of these elements, which means that the child will quickly outgrow the scooter. However, the model was created with such an eye to provide young riders with the first steps in the arena of independent rides behind the wheel of their own transport.
