Tip 1: How to choose a double scooter
Many companies that manufacture scooters, steelproduce two-seater equipment for greater convenience of customers.

Be sure to sit on the scooter, get it, ride around a small area (if you have the rights and knowledge of driving) before the purchase, as the real sensations will not be compared with the reasoning and description of the technical characteristics. Also it is worth trying to ride a double scooter with a passenger to immediately understand the dimensions of the equipment, its weight and load. The management of a two-seater scooter is by and large the same as on a classic single-seat scooter.

Devices for the youngest children are compact and relatively light in weight. As a rule, they have additional wheels, so that the child does not fall from the seat, even if he could not cope with the control. Such models develop very low speed - only about 2-3 km / h - and do not have additional speeds and reverse gear modes. This is an ideal option for parents who want to quickly and safely teach their child to ride a scooter. Children 4-7 years old can take a model with removable wheels. If the child initially skates uncertainly, this additional element will not allow him to fall. When the baby learns to operate the scooter and turn correctly, the removable wheels can be removed. A good option will be a device that speeds up to 4-5 km / h: in this case the child can skate fast enough, but if he has difficulties, an adult will easily catch up with the scooter and stop it. Finally, for older children choose two-wheeled models, accelerating to 7-8 km / h and more and differing in comparatively large weight and size. This scooter can have a reverse gear and additional high-speed modes, which makes managing it more interesting and exciting.Additional subtleties of the choice of a children's scooter
