They don’t just appeal to young children anymore! Within the last few years they have become trendier and fashionable with teenagers. Older children have realised that they can now perform tricks such as “tail whips” and “bar spins” taken from the BMX world and perform them on scooters. As the scooter and tricks have evolved they have become easier to incorporate from Bikes and boards to scooters. Recently scooters have been in the X-Games and is becoming an extreme sport.

The design of kids scooters has not changed a great deal since way back when they were first invented. They still consist of a platform with a single wheel at the front to control the steering of the scooter and either one or two wheels at the back, depending on whether you decide to buy a trike or a scooter for your child. One major difference that has changed over the years is what the scooters are made out of kids scooters are usually made out of light weight aluminium Instead of being made out of wood, and now have a folding mechanism to allow for the kids scooter to be carried around and stored safely. Over the years little extras have been added to scooters to improve the look and feel of scooters including metallic paints, chrome finishes, flashing lights, rear wheel brakes, tough PU wheels and sealed Abec bearings to allow for a smooth ride!
