The Best Electric Scooter for An 11 Year Old
There are numerous electric scooters that are suitable for 11 year olds. The main question you may need to answer before you choose which one is suitable for an 11 year old is how much power and speed do you think they will be able to handle?
Check out some reviews of scooters below as well as a comparison chart which shows at a glance all the scooters which may be suitable. And scroll to the end for some videos of each scooter in action.
Razor E90 Scooter
The Razor E90 power core scooter is designed for kids aged eight and up.
Run Time
One of the plus points of this scooter is it's long run time. The scooter has up to 80 minutes continuous use which is double the time of other Razor models (where the battery lasts for around 40 minutes).
Kick Start and Speed
It requires a kick start to start the motor. It has button acceleration control on the handlebar. There is one speed on the scooter and no variable acceleration. So it's on (at one speed) or off. The max speed is 10mph (this may be affected by the weight of the child and whether they are going up or downhill)
Tyres
The urethane front wheel tyre absorbs the worst impacts. The rear tire is made from TP for a smoother ride and increased traction.
Weight Limit
There is a weight limit of 54kg.
Cost
It's one of the least expensive electric scooter for kids currently.
Power Core E100
A step up from the Power Core E90 is the slightly more powerful Razor Power Core E100. It's also aimed at the age 8 plus group but there are a few differences and it's slightly more expensive.
Motor and start
Like the E90 it features an in hub motor instead of a chain run motor. This means the motor is lower maintenance and quieter.
Kick start the scooter to get going. There is twist grip acceleration and there is one continuous speed.
Speed
It's maximum speed is 11mph (which is 1mph faster than the E90).
Run Time
It has a continuous run time of 60 minutes which is about 10 minutes less than the E90.
Tyres
It features a pneumatic tyre at the front and a urethane rear wheel. The pneumatic tyre just gives the scooter a bit more comfort and a smoother ride over the bumps and cracks in the pavement.
E200 Razor Scooter
The E200 scooter is a step up from the E100, it goes slighly faster and may be a good choice for an 11 year old who wants an electric scooter with a bit more speed.
Kick Start and Speed
Unlike the E100 it doesn't require a kick start to get going. Just jump on and off you go. It can reach speeds of up 12mph (although like all electric scooters the actual speed will depend on the height, weight and balance of the child). Like the E100, it has twist grip acceleration control with a hand operated rear brake. It has no variable acceleration and travels at one speed only.
Tyres
One difference from the E100 is that both the front and rear wheel have 8 inch pneumatic tyres for a smooth ride.
Frame Size
The frame size is slightly bigger than the E100. It's 105cm high (41.3 inches) from floor to top of the handlebars. It measures 94cm (33 inches) in length. The frame is a good size for the 10 to 13 age group.
Weight Limit
The weight limit is 75kg
