Recently, we bought our youngest son a Razor E100 electric scooter for his 9th birthday.Several of his friends have various models of electric scooters, and he had been begging us for weeks to get him one.
We got him the E100 model because we felt like it was the best "entry level" scooter for younger kids.
It requires a little push before activating the motor, so in that sense it is a little like his traditional scooter.
Despite being for younger kids, his scooter zips along pretty good. We figure that it has a top speed of 10+ mph! He can actually go faster than his friends are able to on their bikes!
Now, he is riding his scooter with some of the older kids in the neighborhood. We have a neighbor who rides an X Treme X 600 high performance electric scooter. It is a model intended for teenagers and adults.
It has a top speed of 23 mph! MUCH too fast for a 9 year old.
In retrospect, we probably should have gotten him a
Razor E200S seated electric scooter. It has a removable and adjustable seat, which definitely comes in handy for longer trips.
Especially considering it can run continuously for 45 minutes on a single charge!
