Talking about a children's scooter usually touches on topics such as wheels, deck size, even coloring. But the technology does not stand still - and now there are a number of models with interesting effects that will please both kids and adults. You just need to know what these effects are and what you need to pay attention to when choosing.
Features and action
The appearance of scooters with pipes, like the exhaust channels of the “big” cars and motorcycles, came in 2016. Simulation of smoke emission is carried out using a pair of turbines. Inside pour plain water. A scooter with turbines begins to throw off steam as soon as a special button is pressed. For a clearer simulation, a backlight system is used to demonstrate:
- "Steam";
- "Fire";
- "smoke".
This solution is considered very beautiful and is liked by almost all children. A special heating system allows you to quickly bring water to the desired temperature and evaporate it. However, the steam is quite cool and practically not dangerous for kids. Often you can find mention of models with smoke - but, of course, this is just plain steam, not smoke.
Most often, water is poured into all turbines, and its flow rate is approximately 100 ml; at 1 gas station, the device will work all daylight hours.
Mostly there are three-wheeled turboscooters. But without much difficulty, you can find modifications with two wheels. Some variations are made with music: both based on melodies embedded in the internal memory, and with the connection of a flash card. This decision, of course, gives people more freedom than ordinary performances. Sometimes there are options with luminous headlights and a platform; this effect will look extremely elegant.
Modifications
An excellent choice among 3-wheeled scooters for children is Scooter version, which is folding. During the ride, the wheels will glow. The model appeared on the market in 2018. The wheels are quite wide, characterized by high stability of the wheel. The handle extends and can be adjusted in height.
The target age is 3 to 8 years. A useful feature is the ability to fold the steering wheel (a very valuable function when storing and transporting in a car). The design is designed to quickly learn how to ride without the risk of injury. Provided by:
- alloy wheels made of polyurethane;
- rear brake;
- flexible soft footboard;
- the most convenient control apparatus for young children;
- aluminum frame and reinforced plastic;
- permissible load - up to 35 kg;
- especially comfortable grips.
The blue Moby Kids Junior Rocket with smoke is also good. This rocket scooter with sound and light, like the previous model, is formed on the basis of metal and strong plastic. The device is equipped with a battery with charging at 220 V (present in the kit). You can adjust the height of the removable handle in 3 different positions.
The maximum load level is 30 kg, and a sound imitation of a rocket is triggered by a button on the steering wheel; illumination of cold steam is provided by 5 LEDs.
Reviews
Of course, the assortment does not end on these models. praised for the very good build. But keep in mind that the instruction is in full English. In this case, the justification for such a problem will be ease of use of the Bluetooth function. It works intuitively easy.
A good alternative is the 1Toy T11438 Rocket. The device has a red or blue design. It is designed for ages from 3 to 8 years, has a mass of 3.7 kg, that is, even the children themselves can move it without problems. Fixing the steering wheel is possible in positions from 0.72 to 0.81 m. The test is recommended to be carried out on the street or ride at this time, since in a stationary position, the scooter will give a small puddle.
