I did find that it would continue to brake for a split second after I released the lever, which caused a weird sort of lag. The Icon looks like a scaled-up version of its original scooter. The base is very angular, with sharp edges in the front and back that give it a raw, almost unfinished look, but it works. All of the Icon’s wires are routed through its frame, furthering the clean lines of the scooter. In comparison, the MegaWheels S5 offers up to 13 miles on a charge while being notably cheaper.
This is unique because every other kids electric scooter we tested can only accelerate to its max – a child can’t choose to ride at a lower speed. With larger wheels and a front wheel spring damping system, the Segway Ninebots offered the smoothest ride of any of the kids electric scooters we tested. The Razor E100 is the Parents Choice Award for kids electric scooters. It is one of the cheapest electric scooters on the market, delivers hours of fun and comes in multiple colors so you’ll be able to choose the perfect model for your son or daughter. Athletic and coordinated older kids can safely manage faster speeds. The electric scooters below max out between 12 and 15 mph, which is the fastest of any of the other scooters on this list.
Riding these e-scooters is comfortable, allowing smooth cruising on flat surfaces. But if you’re looking for high speeds, these aren’t the scooters for you. The motor and battery are designed for decent speed and range, but they are by no means fast. The all-steel frame and stable rear-wheel drive make the Razor Power Core S85 electric scooter a safe, solid, and smooth ride to bring out your fun side. The Electric Party Pop features a unique, foot-activated pressure sensor, and light up deck and front wheel, this fly rides will keep the party rolling at speeds up to 7.5 mph (12 km/h). The incredible range of Razor Scooters feature a range of scooter types – from electric scooters to folding scooters, there is a product for everyone.
If you stick to pavement, it’s a pretty smooth ride, and the soft seat was an added bonus for young bums. The brakes offer great stopping power, and there’s a small storage compartment under the seat that could fit a cell phone, keys, and a snack. Faster than its little brother the E8, the Ninebot ZING E10 has a 10 mph max and a higher handlebar, best for kids at least 8 years old and 4’3 tall. All other features are identical, and you can read about those above. In full disclosure, we did not test this 3 wheel electric scooter for kids. We’re including it here as the only option we could find for parents looking for an electric scooter for toddlers.
The electric-powered Pocket Mod can go up to 40 minutes on a single battery charge and can hit speeds up to 15 mph (24 km/h). Many electric scooters for kids can fold down for more compact storage or transportation. If you have a garage and your scooter is only going to be used around home, this won’t matter much. But if you live in an apartment or need to transport the scooter in your car, this will definitely come in handy.
The torque of the scooter is pretty good, so the scooter climbs much better than you might expect from such a cheap model. It will struggle on the steeper hills, but some regular ups-and-downs will not be an issue, especially for riders within the weight limit. There is no officially known climb angle razor scooter provided by Razor, but judging from user reports, we might say the scooter can easily climb slopes of at least 10° / 18%. The power button is on the left side of the deck, and the charging port is right next to it. This is typical for Razor scooters, but not very common in other scooter models.
The Razor E200 model is another proof of the brand’s devotion to producing the best scooters for kids. It is definitely the most popular and best-selling electric scooter for kids aged 13 and up, and I don’t believe there’s a better scooter for children that age. However, the E300 can also be used by bigger and heavier teenagers, and in fact, it can be easily used by adults as well (and it often is). The main difference is the motor, which has 300 Watts of power, and that makes it a lot more performant.
