Kids Electric Scooters Safety & Maintenance
It recommended that you ensure your child wears safety gear whenever they ride their scooter such as well fitted scooter or bicycle helmet, knee & elbow pads and preferably scooter or cycling gloves to protect your child’s hands should they fall off on hard surfaces.
Kids scooters can be used on flat lawns and we suggest that your child uses their scooter on grass to get a feel for balancing and riding without falling first before moving onto concrete and Tar-Mac surfaces to ensure their safety.
Scooter Maintenance
Kids scooter should not require any major maintenance with regard to the motors unless used inappropriately such as allowing it to fall un-necessarily or dropping it when folded. So as long as you make sure your re-charge the batteries as instructed to within the manual provided and start it up once a month whilst storing it during winter you should get many years of riding enjoyment out of it.
Kids Scooters are a great gift for either boys or girls as not only do they offer hours of fun they also encourage your child to play outdoors and get fresh air as they enjoy themselves.
