How to choose a scooter for a teenager
Buying a scooter starts with choosing the right model. A properly selected scooter will last for several years. The most important parameters:
- Weight and height of the rider.
- The materials from which the scooter is made.
- Wheel diameter.
- Steering column adjustment.
Children’s models, designed for body weight up to 50 kg, are perfect for teenagers under the age of 11-13 and older riders of a fragile physique. Teenagers of the older age group, as well as girls and boys who tend to grow rapidly, should pay attention to models for adults.
The young body is growing, so the height of the steering wheel on the children’s model may not be enough to comfortably drive the vehicle. If you ask a teenager to stand on an imaginary scooter and place his hands as if he took the wheel, then the distance from the floor to the hands will be the height of the steering rack. When choosing a model, you should focus on this indicator.
It will be more convenient for a tall teenager to ride an adult scooter, regardless of his own weight. A medium-sized teenager with a dense physique will feel comfortable on a children’s scooter, and not on an adult, but it is worth choosing a model that provides for a weight margin.
Popular questions and answers
The editors of the KP asked for answers to questions regarding the choice of a scooter for a teenager. Daniil Lobakin, candidate master of sports in cycling, PRO-expert “Sportmaster PRO”.
The steering wheel should be slightly above the waist – this is its ideal height for calm control. It happens that a teenager asks his parents to buy a stunt scooter, but they buy him a regular one instead of a stunt one. A child jumps on this scooter, but it is not designed for such a load and breaks very quickly. This must be taken into account – if a child wants a stunt scooter, you need to buy a stunt scooter, and no other – it has design features – a reinforced frame, no folding mechanisms, a minimum number of prefabricated parts, small hard wheels.
All scooters are made of aluminum – aluminum is lighter than other metals. For example, a steel tube steering rack on a scooter will make it very heavy.
Stunt scooters are equipped with cast or milled aluminum wheels. They are much stiffer, stronger and lighter.
