RCB Electric Scooter

There's a lot to like about the RCB Electric scooter. Designed for 8 to 16 year olds, it's suitable for kids between 130cm and 170cm. The height of this electric scooter can be adjusted to 3 height levels at 84cm, 94cm and 104cm. With a rider weight capacity of 80kg, 11 year olds should be able to use the scooter into their teens.

Speed and Range

The scooter has a range of 12 to 16 kilometres and can reach speeds of up to 12.4mph. Both are dependent on the terrain and weight of the rider. It has a 6 hour charge time (compare this to 12 hours on some other electric scooters and it seems a massive plus point).

Easy To Store

Another plus point of the RCB electric scooter is that it has a one step folding system making it easy to store or transport. The scooter weighs 8kg which is fairly light when compared to some other electric scooters, although there are lighter options.

Wheels
The RCB features rubber 5.5” tyres. There’s no need to inflate them and you don't have to worry about punctures.

Razor Power A5 Electric Scooter

The Power Core A5 electric scooter is made by the reputable brand Razor. A unique feature of this scooter is the large 200mm solid wheels. The bigger wheels give a smooth ride over bumps and cracks in the pavement. The scooter handlebar is height adjustable up to a whopping 104cm. This gives plenty of growing room for 11-year-olds. As the handlebar adjusts so high, both adults and children can use the A5 electric scooter as long as they are under the maximum weight limit of 80kg.

Speed and Run Time
It has a maximum speed of 10mph and a continuous ride time of 40 minutes. To get going, kids just need to step on the scooter, kick off and press the thumb-activated throttle.

Foldable

The scooter is easily foldable and features a patent-pending, anti-rattle folding mechanism that provides a quieter ride

Scooter weight
The scooter is light for an electric scooter weighing just 7.16kg. making it easier to pick up when needed.

Charging Time
The battery requires an initial charge of 10 hours, after this, it has an 8 hour charge time. Not the shortest charge time, but not the longest either.

Megawheel S1 Electric Scooter

Nicely sized for 11 year olds, competitively priced and a very quick charge time make the Megawheels scooter one to take note off.

With 3 levels of height adjustable (76cm, 86cm and 96cm) the Megawheels will accommodate 11 year olds and have some growing room too. The maximum rider weight limit is 68kg.

Speed
It can travel to speeds up to 14mph, which is very speedy. However, like all scooters the speed will be affected by the weight of the rider and the terrain. Heavier riders will go slower. The scooter can also climb a 15% gradient hill. It has a range of 5 to 8 miles on each charge which again is dependant on the rider's weight and terrain.

There is no variable speed on the scooter. Once you are up to speed, you have to brake to stop the scooter. Many electric scooters don't have variable speed but this scooter has the potential to go very quickly, so it's worth taking this into consideration before purchasing.

Foldable and Portable

Weighing just 8kg, the Megawheel scooter is light for an electric scooter. It's foldable so you can pick it up to take on public transport or put in the boot of a car.

Tyres
Equipped with a solid 6" front tyre and 5" back tyre, you don't have to worry about punctures on this scooter either.

Charge Time

One real plus of this scooter is the super quick charge time of just 2 to 3 hours.

Other features
A dual brake system (a motor electronic brake on the handlebar and a foot friction rear brake on the back wheel) brings the scooter to a quick stop. In additon to this find an LED taillight and shock absorber.

Razor Power A2 Electric Scooter

The Razor Power A2 electric scooter is similar to the Razor A5 (featured above) except on a smaller scale. It has smaller wheels and a shorter handlebar. It also has a shorter charge time, a shorter handlebar and is at a slightly lower price point.

Here is a quick summary of the A2:

Wheels and Ride

The front wheel is 140mm and the rear wheel is 125mm. The smaller wheels give the Power A2 a slim, sleek feel. The wheels are made of urethane and as they're smaller than on the A5,  kids may feel the bumps in the pavement more as they ride along but honestly, this isn't a problem for most kids. They won't even notice! As the wheels are flat and airless there's no worries about punctures either.

Another thing to note about the scooter is that it offers a very quiet ride.

Speed and Battery Life

Like the Razor Power A5 scooter, there is a maximum speed of 10mph and it can run for up to 40 minutes.

The battery needs to be charged for 8 hours before the first use. After that, it takes 6 hours to charge the scooter.

Portability

The scooter can be folded. It's extremely light weighing just 6.46kg, making it easy to transport and store.

Height Adjustable Handlebar

The handlebar is height adjustable from 63.5cm to 85cm. The top handlebar height of 85cm will give most 11 year olds some growing room but if you have a tall 11 year old you may want to look for a handlebar that extends a bit higher. It's recommended from age 8 to adult. However there is a maximum weight capacity of 65kg so adults who weigh more than this won't be able to use the scooter.

Razor E90 Scooter

The Razor E90 power core scooter is designed for kids aged eight and up. Also made by Razor, the E90 has been around for a few years so has stood the test of  time.

Run Time
One of the plus points of this scooter is its long run time. The scooter has up to 80 minutes of 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 airless rear tire is made from TP for a smoother ride and increased traction. As the wheels are solid, you don't need to worry about punctures.

Charging Time

One downside of the Razor E90 is that it takes 12 hours to charge between each use. It’s strongly recommended to charge it fully before the first use and then charge it fully as often as possible. However, please note, you also have to be careful not to overcharge the battery as this can shorten the lifespan of the scooter.

Weight Limit
There is a weight limit of 54kg.

Cost

If you're looking for an e-scooter on a budget, it's one of the least expensive electric scooters for kids currently.

Handlebar

One of the downsides of the Razor E90 is the handlebar isn't adjustable so 11 year olds may grow out of the scooter quite quickly.

Ripsar 24v Kids Electric Scooter with Air Tyre
​

E200 Razor Scooter

This scooter has been around for a while, so it's stood the test of time.  With air filled tyres, the Razor E200 scooter offers a more cushioned ride than it's solid wheel counterparts. However, it is heavier and bulkier than some of the newer electric scooters out there.

With a top speed of 12mph, the official recommended age by Razor is 13 years old but reviews suggest kids younger than 13 use this scooter.

Kick Start and Speed

Unlike some other electric scooters, it doesn't require a kick start to get going. Just jump on, turn the twist grip acceleration on the handle bar and off you go. Like all electric scooters the top speed of 12mph is a best case scenario, the actual speed will depend on the height, weight and balance of the child. It also features a hand operated rear brake. It has no variable acceleration and travels at one speed only.

Tyres

One difference from the E90 is that both the front and rear wheels have 8 inch pneumatic tyres for a smooth ride. The tyres offer a comfortable and cushioned ride, gliding over bumps and cracks in the pavement.

Motor

The Razor E200 features a 200 Watt, high torque, single-speed, chain-driven motor.

Frame Size

The frame size is 105cm high (41.3 inches) from floor to top of the handlebars. It measures 94cm (33 inches) in length.

Charge Time 

One downside of the E200 is it has a  long charge time of 12 hours. This should be fine if you use it once a day and charge it overnight, but because the charge time is so long you need to plan for it.

Weight Limit

The weight limit is 75kg

Best Value Electric Scooter

Razor E90: Recommended Age: 8 Years Old

This Razor Scooter is aimed for kids age 8 plus. However, there are 6 and 7 year olds that can used this scooter, so parents can use their own judgement as to whether the scooter is appropriate for their child.

Speed

It reaches speeds of  up to 10 mph. If they ride a bike, they may very well go faster than this electric scooter when riding a bike so that gives you a benchmark as to the speed of scooter. For young kids, you don't really want them travelling much more quickly than 10mph even if they are mini adrenaline seekers.

Kids will need to get the scooter up to 3mph to kick start the motor. Then press the push button throttle to accelerate further. The push button is easy for kids to use.

Wheels

The urethane wheels are puncture proof and work well on smooth flat surfaces. Air filled tyres are better for older, heavier kids as they will provide a more cushioned ride. But for younger, smaller riders the urethane wheels should be sufficient.

Motor

The hub motor has been designed to be maintenance free unlike the chain driven motors on other Razor scooters. No alignment no chain, and no chain tensioner on the E90.

Battery

The Razor E90 gives about 70 minutes of continuous use on one charge. On the downside, it takes about 12 hours to fully charge the battery.

Brake

There's a hand operated front brake for easy braking.

Ride and Speed

The scooter has 3 gears:

First Gear - Start off slow and steady. The maximum speed is 8km/h (5mph). Kids kick until they reach 8km/h and then the Zing A6 will ride by itself.  The first gear is great for kids just starting out or younger kids who don't want to go too fast.

Second Gear - The scooter reaches speeds of 10km/h (6.2mph)

Third Gear - when they feel confident enough kids can glide at the top speed of up to 12km/h (7.5 mph).

Battery Life 

The battery has a charge time of just 3.5 hours and a range of approximately 5km (3.1 miles) on one charge. However, the battery life on all scooters is always affected by weight of the rider, gradient and terrain the scooter is ridden on.

Tyres

The Zinc A6 has a 5-inch PU perfusion front tyre and a 4-inch solid rubber rear tyre. The front tyre is made with a softer material that offers more comfort to the rider. The rear tyre has been redesigned for better grip and anti-skid performance.

Braking

A easy to use rear fender brake will slowly bring kids to a stop. Just step on the brake for a couple of seconds to activate it.

Lightweight and Foldable

The scooter is superlight and weighs only 4.6kg. This makes it a doddle to pick up and transport in the boot of a car.

Electric Scooter for Kids Ages 6-12

Designed for kids aged 6 years and above, this electric scooter has an adustable handlebar, fast charging, a top speed of 6mph and can be used as both a pedal scooter and a kick scooter.

It's not the speediest of electric scooters making it a good choice for younger kids just starting out.

Kids will need to kick start the scooter. Once kids get the scooter up to 3 miles, they can then step on the sensor which is on the footplate to start the motor and accelerate up to 6 mph. It has a max range of 6.3mph. The range will be dependent on weight of the rider and the terrain they are scooting on.

The light up deck and front wheel is a popular feature with kids. It shines brightly and changes colour.

The Megawheels is speedy scooter with a height adjustable handlebar that's a good choice for older kids who want a quick scooter.

Handlebar and Age Recommendation

With a 3 level height adjustable handlebar which can be set at 76cm, 86cm and 96cm, Megawheels recommend their scooter for kids aged 10 plus.

The main reason for the higher age recommendation is the scooter can reach speeds of up to 14mph which is pretty fast. Definitely a bit quick for younger kids. Having said this, the top speed will be affected by the weight of the rider and terrain they are riding on. A heavier rider going up hill will go much more slowly. It's worth noting the scooter can handle hills with a 15% gradient (many electric scooters for kids can't handle hills at all)

There is no variable speed on the Megawheels scooter. So if you are scooting along quickly you have to brake to stop, you can't slow down.

Light and Portable

The scooter weight of 8kg is light for an electric scooter. It's foldable too, so it's easy to transport on buses and trains or in the car.

Other Features

The scooter has a solid 6" front tyre and 5" back tyre so you won't get a puncture ever!   It takes 2 to 3 hours to charge which is super quick compared to some other scooters. Kids can choose to stop with the handlebar brake or the rear brake on the back wheel.

Finally, an LED tailight helps them to be seen.

Electric Scooter with Top Speed of 12mph

Razor E200

It's features include a rechargeable 24V battery which allows the scooter to go up to speeds of up to 12mph / 19km/h. Like the E100, the charge time is lengthy, with approximately 12 hours required.
