How to choose a gyro scooter for a child: good, best, for how old
A hoverboard or segway is a new vehicle in the world of sports fashion. It has a lot of advantages, one of which is ease of management. Let’s talk about how to choose a gyro scooter for a child. After all, there is a significant difference between an adult and children’s segway.
Choosing a good model for children from 5 to 10 years old
The children’s mini segway is very stable. It is easy to ride on it, the movement is carried out using touch sensors. The child stands on the platform with both feet, leans forward slightly and the vehicle begins to move. To brake, you need to lean back. For turns, the body is tilted to the sides. In this case, you do not need to make any sudden movements. For training in riding care from 5 to 15 minutes.
Children’s transport has its own characteristics:
- a light weight;
- small wheels;
- low driving speed;
- maneuverability;
- quality battery.
Unlike an adult Segway, a child’s Segway weighs about 4–5 kg, and the child can carry it on his own. Models with 5-inch wheels are available for children 6-4,5 years old. For an older child, a vehicle with 6,5-inch wheels is suitable. The driving speed is from 5 to 7 km / h, and the battery charge lasts for 10 km, which is approximately 2 hours of driving. A high-quality segway can withstand a load of up to 70 kg, so it will take a long time to think about buying a new model.
Riding a gyroscooter develops coordination, improves the functioning of the vestibular apparatus. In order for it to pass without unnecessary injury, take care of the necessary equipment.
