Both children and adults ride scooters. Thanks to numerous modifications, they are firmly rooted in modern life. They are made from various light and strong alloys and weigh between two and five kilograms.

This is a good preparation for the transition to two-wheeled models, where you need to be able to control your body and maintain balance. Tricycles can be purchased already for a two-year-old child. They are made with bright, colorful cartoon characters or fairy-tale heroes. Luggage baskets are installed on scooters, where you can put for a walkKids toys. The most popular manufacturers are Street Runner, Korshun, Maxi Micro.
