Excellent choices for smaller children are the standard kick scooters but if you're looking for something motorized things can get complicated. Listed below are a few considerations and some suggested brands are at the end of the article.
Things to consider when choosing gas or electric motor scooters in no specific order:
Gas versus Electric Power
Cost: When it comes to price the categories are, in ascending order: non-motorized, electric and then gas being the most expensive.
Speed: Gas offers more velocity and accelerates to speeds in upwards of 30 mph. You can expect speeds of 12-25 mph in electric but for beginners you could go either.
Noise: This is an obvious choice if you prefer a quieter ride, go with electric motor scooters. Even smaller gas powered (50cc) are comparable to lawn equipment decibel levels.
Environmental Concerns: Electric motor scooters do not produce smog emissions like their gas counterparts. If gas still interests you but you're still concerned about environmental impact, C.A.R.B. motors will produce less exhaust emissions
Convenience: Electric motors range from an hour to roughly 2.5 hrs of battery life and after that need to be charged. The gas scooter needs a certain mixture of oil per gallon but can be used consistently. So the value of convenience is the cost of refilling versus recharging the electric motor.
When considering a purchase the consensus is stay with brands that have a reputable history of manufacturing high quality and fairly cheap electric scooters. Below are some brands you have a history of producing solid scooters:
X-Treme Scooters (excellent dollar for dollar value)
Razor
EZIP
GoPed
