Age, from

The minimum age at which a child can be entrusted with a scooter. These recommendations are quite approximate, but it is highly not recommended to deviate from them. In the case of electric scooters (see "Type"), it is worth considering that in some countries, to control such devices, you need rights obtained from a certain age; so when buying a similar model, it's ok to clarify the requirements of traffic rules.

The allowable load directly depends on the age group; according to this criterion, modern scooters can be divided into children's(permissible load up to 50 kg), teenage(from 50 to 80 kg), and adults(80 kg or more).

Compression

Compression is a special device that connects the fork to the steering speaker. Thanks to the compression, the rigidity and reliability of the connection of the steering speaker to the fork are ensured.

IHC. Suitable for scooters with standard diameter handlebars: 31.8mm or 1¼". This type of compression is simple in design and highly reliable. The IHC system consists of a tie bolt and an anchor. The steering wheel is connected to the compression with a clamp.

HIC(Hidden Compression System) — this type of compression is found in scooters with a handlebar of increased diameter: 34.9 mm or 1⅜". HIC compression is widely used due to the reliability and simplicity of the design solution. The steering speaker is used with a kerf Steering clamp is applied to the steering speaker HIC compression is identical to the IHC design The only difference between the two is the rudder diameter HIC is designed for 34.9mm headsets while IHC applies to headsets 31.8 mm in diameter.

SCS(Standart Compression System) — advanced class compression. To use the SCS, you need a scooter with a non-kerf steering speaker. A distinctive feature of the SCS compression is the use of a 4-bolt tie-down collar. The compression pinch bolt is screwed in from top to bottom. The steering speaker is put on from above. SCS compression is created under the handlebars of di...fferent diameters: 34.9 or 31.8 mm. Structurally, SCS compression is similar to HIC. The key difference between these types of compression is for the most part only in the cut on the steering speaker. The SCS does not have a kerf, but the HIC does.

ICS(Inverted Compression System) — simple and reliable compression. The system is represented by a coupling bolt, which is screwed in from the bottom up, through the front wheels. The anchor is usually built into the fork at the factory. But in some cases, the anchor must be hammered into the fork yourself. When working with compression, there are usually several difficulties. The first is that you need a special long key to work with fasteners. The second trick is expressed in the need to remove the front wheels every time the compression is tightened.

— Tread. Threading is the simplest method of connecting a steering speaker to a fork. This type of compression is typical for entry-level scooters. Scooters with threaded compression are positioned as urban models. Such scooters are not physically adapted to the impact of high mechanical loads.

Front wheel size

The diameter of the front wheel(s) of the scooter.

This parameter is selected by the manufacturer depending on the type, age category and general purpose of the scooter. If we compare similar models with different wheel diameters, then it is worth considering that the larger the wheels, the better they work on the bumps in the road, and the higher the cross-country ability. And small wheels, in turn, are great for smooth asphalt and dynamic driving, they easily accelerate and allow you to make sharp turns.

Rear wheel(s) size

The diameter of the rear wheel(s) of the scooter. See "Front wheel diameter" for details on the value of this parameter.

Features

- Foldable. The ability to fold the scooter — usually by "laying" the handlebar in a horizontal position, on the deck; in some models, the grips of the handlebar are also foldable. This feature greatly simplifies storage and transportation outside business hours. True, folding models are somewhat more expensive and slightly less reliable than clumsy ones, but in many cases, these moments are not critical.

- Handlebar height adjustment. The ability to change the height of the handlebar, adjusting it to the height of the user. This feature will be especially useful if the scooter is bought for a child for several years: children grow quickly, and every season a higher handlebar height is required. See "Maximum height" for details on height adjustment.

- Suspension. The scooter has a suspension system — most often on the front wheel. However, there are models with full suspension. In any case, such a system makes the ride more comfortable and smoothes out vibrations, but reduces rolling and control accuracy. Therefore, for example, sports scooters and snow scooters (see "Type") do not have this feature, and it is extremely rare in kickboards.

- Stand. A device that allows you to put the scooter in a vertical position on any suitable surface without using additional supports — such as walls, benches, fences, et...c. It is usually carried out in the form of a folding plate or a curly frame under the deck: in the folded state it is raised and does not interfere with movement, and if it is lowered, the scooter acquires an additional point of support.

- Seat. Own seat, allowing you to ride a scooter while sitting. Most often, this function is found in kickboards (see "Type") for the smallest children who are still unable to confidently keep their balance — the seat in such models also serves as fall protection. In addition, by definition, drift models are equipped with a seat.

Basket on the handlebar. The basket mounted on the handlebars acts as a luggage compartment and can be used to carry various items, such as your favourite toys or a change of clothes. The capacity of the baskets is usually small, but they can provide some convenience. This function occurs mainly in models of the younger age group.

- Bottle holder. A device that provides for the installation of exclusively drinking bottles. This is facilitated by a cylindrical shape, in which such a container will ideally fit, while it will not fall out during the ride. This decision is applicable not so much to children's scooters as to adults, when the scooter is used not for entertainment, but for movement and thirst can overtake at any moment.

- Glowing wheels/deck. The scooter has wheel and/or deck illumination. Glowing wheels are usually made of a transparent polymer with LEDs embedded in them; the deck can be illuminated both on the sides and below. In any case, this function not only provides an original appearance but also makes the scooter more visible, which has a positive effect on safety — especially at dusk and in the dark. The backlight can be powered both by batteries and by a built-in generator that generates energy when the wheels rotate.

- Flashlight / headlight. The presence of a flashlight or headlight in the scooter. This function will be useful, especially in twilight and darkness: it provides illumination of the road and also makes the scooter more visible to other road users.

— Signal/bell. The presence of a bell or other sound signal (for example, a horn) in the kit. Such a device is useful for warning others about the movement of the scooter, it allows you to avoid unpleasant incidents.

- Pegs. Devices on the wheels of sports scooters that allow you to perform various trick exercises, namely, to slide along curbs, railings, etc. It is an additional stop that is installed in the wheel axle of the scooter and can be used not only as a fulcrum for the foot but also as a support when driving over various obstacles (railings, ramps, etc.). As a rule, scooters for stunt/sports riding are equipped with pegs. At the same time, they can be equipped with both the front and rear wheels and in some cases, the peg is installed on both the right and left sides of the wheel.

- Parent handle. A long handle is mounted on some kickboards so that an adult can comfortably hold on to it while standing next to it. Thus, the parent can, to a certain extent, control the movement of the child, stop him at the right time or vice versa, push, or even carry the baby, like in a stroller. Such a solution is relevant for models with a seat and for children who are not yet capable of independent movement on a scooter.

Max. height

The maximum height to which the height-adjustable handlebar can be set (or just the height of the handlebar in the working position, if height adjustment is not provided).

The height of the handlebars should be such that the rider can stand on the deck straight, without bending his back, and hold on to the handles with slightly bent arms. At the same time, there is no unambiguous relationship between this parameter and the height of the rider. So the perfect option to determine the optimal height is to try it yourself, and then choose a scooter based on the result.

Deck size

Scooter deck size. This item can indicate both the length and width or only one size — most often this is the length.

In general, this parameter is secondary: manufacturers choose the size of the deck depending on the type, age category, general specialization and other features of the scooter. Legroom, usually, is guaranteed to be enough on the deck. We only note that shorter decks are more agile, and longer ones are stable on the course.

Footspace

This term refers to the useful area of the deck on which you can put your foot. It is size without taking into account the folding mechanism, wheel fastening and other elements that are not intended for the leg.
