Kick Scooter

Kick scooters are a classic, fun, and easy way to get around for both kids and adults. Foot scooters have a basic design that includes handlebars, a deck where you place your foot, and wheels. Kick scooters are propelled forward when the rider pushes off the ground using the power from their foot and leg.

Are Kick Scooters Just for Kids?

No! Some of the best adult scooters are used to commute back and forth to work, run errands, or just ride for fun. Razor scooters for adults are especially popular. Razor is one of the leading brands in both adult kick scooters and foot scooters for kids. Kick scooters are also popular in extreme riding and trick competitions. The lightweight body and rotating handlebars of a kick scooter make it easy for riders of all sizes to jump, hop, flip, and twist.

The main differences between adult and kids’ Razor kick scooters are the size, price, and weight capacity. Some kick scooters, like the Razor A5 Lux Scooter are suitable for both kids and adults. With a weight capacity of over 220 lbs, this sleek scooter can accommodate riders of all sizes and skill levels. Micro Kick Boards are another popular brand of scooter available in multiple sizes for both kids and adults.

The Difference Between a Basic Kick Scooter and an Electric Kick Scooter

The main difference between a traditional kick scooter and a motorized kick scooter is that the former is powered by the rider, while electric kick scooters are equipped with lightweight motors controlled by a throttle system. The Ninebot Kickscooter Max is even more high-tech than an electric kick scooter and works similarly to a motorized Segway. With a maximum speed of 18 mph, these powerful kick scooters are better suited for adults and more experienced riders. Although electric scooters make for an easier ride, if it’s exercise you’re after then a basic foot scooter is best. Not to mention, foot scooters are more economical and environmentally friendly.
