Three wheels or two?
Three-wheeled scooters are perfect for children who are new to scooting or need a little help balancing.
Two-wheeled scooters pick up from where three wheels leave off. Relying on core muscles and good balancing skills, they are ideal for confident riders and children who are already used to riding a bike.
You can view our guide to Maxi scooters if three wheels are better suited to your child.

Small wheels or large?
Small-wheeled scooters are lightweight and compact when folded - great for hop-on, hop-off journeys and for when space is at a premium.
Large wheels are better at absorbing bumps in the road and make it easier to pick up speed – perfect for children who want to go further, faster.

Straight handlebars or chopper?
Straight handlebars are compact and fold away – perfect for easy storing and transporting.
Wider chopper style handlebars help with balance and control and give some retro flare.

Is a scooter with bigger wheels better?
A scooter with big wheels means you can go further, faster. This is because the bigger wheels cover more ground quicker.

This is because there is more wheel in contact with the ground providing more grip - and therefore the feeling of being more balanced and stable.

Can you do tricks on a scooter with big wheels?
It can be tricky to do tricks on a scooter with big wheels. This is because big wheels are heavier and can sometimes get in the way of performing a trick or a stunt. It is best to only perform tricks on a stunt scooter. These scooters are built for trying out tricks and stunts. Stunt or trick scooters are made in one piece and do not fold or have big wheels which makes them much more suited than scooters with big wheels for those wishing to do tricks and stunts.
