#1&2. Segway Ninebot ZING E8 and E10 - Best Overall for Kids 6 to 10
The full-featured Segway Ninebot comes in several models to cater to a wide age range of kids. Each model offers a different maximum speed, maximum weight limit, and handlebar height.
The E8 has a lower 8.6 mph max, and a lower and more narrow handlebar, making it ideal for younger kids. The E10 has a 10 mph max and a higher handlebar, best for kids at least 8 years old and 4’3 tall.
With larger wheels and a front wheel spring damping system, the Segway Ninebots offered the smoothest ride of any of the kids electric scooters we tested.
A unique and super cool feature of the Ninebot is that it’s the only electric scooter for kids that offers a cruise control mode and a safe mode.
#3. GoTrax GKS - Best on a Budget
The GoTrax GKS sticks to the basics to keep the price tag down. The GKS has two main things going for it.
First, its slower max speed of just 7.5 mph allows younger kids to safely ride an electric scooter. And while most other electric scooters end up going really fast down steeper hills, we found that the GKS maintained a relatively slow speed on the down hill.
Second, the GoTrax GKS has a unique foot-engaged, kick-to-start throttle which is another safety benefit for young kids. To get the scooter started, a child places their foot on the button at the front of the deck and kicks off the ground to get the scooter moving.
Once the scooter is moving 1.8 mph, the child places their rear foot on the rear button to engage the motor and accelerate to 7.5 mph. To slow down, the child can raise their rear foot which stops the motor, and also engage the rear fender brake.
#4. Razor Power Core E90 - Razor Fan Favorite
One of Razor’s best-selling electric scooters, the Razor Power Core E90 offers double the riding time compared to the original Razor E100 (80 minutes vs 40 minutes). With lower handlebars, it’s better for younger and shorter kids.
With a front plastic wheel, it’s a bumpier ride than the air tire of the E100, but its hub motor (vs chain driven motor) is less likely to need maintenance.
While it’s not our favorite Razor electric scooter for kids, the lower price and higher ride time per battery charge are two pretty big benefits to the Power Core E90.
#5. Razor Power A2 - Best Razor Electric Scooter for Kids
The Power A2 is our favorite Razor electric scooter for kids! With adjustable height handlebars, a less bulky deck, and a folding mechanism, the Power A2 looks quite like a traditional kick-scooter. Weighing in at just 14 pounds (the E100 is 25 pounds!), it even can be used as a traditional kick-scooter in the event your battery dies.
Compared to the Segway E10 which is similarly priced, the Razor A2 doesn’t offer as many features and isn’t as smooth a ride, but its height-adjustable handlebars allow kids to customize the fit just for them.
#6. Mongoose React E2 - No-Frills Simplicity
Tthe React 2 is simple, no-frills, and just easy to use. It doesn’t require much thinking to use so kids can cruise with no worries. If you have a child that would benefit from a non-complex machine, the React 2 is a perfect choice.
#7. Swagtron Swagger 8 Best Overall - Tweens and Teens
With a 15 mph max and an LED screen to monitor speed, the Swagtron Swagger 8 was preferred by our athletic and older testers because it could go so much faster than the others.
The Swagger 8 actually has three different speeds settings - 5, 10, or 15 mph. This is unique because most kids electric scooters can only accelerate to a single maximum speed.
#8. Razor Pocket Mod Kids Electric Scooter - Retro Kids Moto
This super sweet retro moto was a surprise hit with our testers 10 and older. It was easily the favorite, in part because it goes pretty fast (15 mph!) and because the kids feel so grown up riding a motorcycle.
