Kick Scooters
Kids and Young People are
laying their own claim to the scooter industry. One of the fast growing
segments are kick or push scooters.
These scooters do not have a motor or engine, but they do allow the kids
several benefits. The most obvious benefit is they can get to places faster than
walking. The kick and glide motion allows for them to cut their travel time in
half. However, the main reasons kids like kick scooters are because they can do a number of
tricks with them and they are foldable.
This foldability allows them to put them in backpack when going into a store
or stuff it in a locker when at school.
The most popular kick
scooters are Razors. Although other brands include Ninjas, Ciros, Kickboards, and
Xootrs. This wide variety gives young people the option of choosing scooters designed for
looks, for speed, for off-roading, or for tricks. Plus, since these kick
scooters do not have a motor they are very inexpensive.
These scooters are fairly
easy to ride and allow for young people to get their feet wet with scooters. Not surprisingly, one of the
fastest growing trends in the industry, is the increase in people graduating from kick scooters to motorized or
motor scooters.
