Buying guide
Kids’ ride-on vehicles for different activities
Explore vehicles for children and teenagers, from electric scooters and dirt bikes to ride-on luggage. Start with how the vehicle will be used, then compare its size, weight and controls. Age recommendations apply to each model, rather than the whole range.
In short
- Choose according to the child’s size, experience and planned activity.
- Compare powered models with luggage that children push along with their feet.
- Check rider weight limits, brakes and available speed settings.
How to choose a vehicle for your child
Vehicle types
An electric scooter is ridden standing up and requires balance and braking control. An electric dirt bike has a seat and different demands on riding position and throttle use. Ride-on luggage combines storage and movement; check whether the model is motorised or foot-powered. Explore kids’ electric scooters and kids’ electric dirt bikes.
Size and age
Follow the manufacturer’s age, height and weight limits. The child should reach the handlebars and brake comfortably and manage the vehicle’s weight. A high load capacity does not make a model suitable for a younger rider. Avoid buying an oversized vehicle simply to grow into. If it is meant as a present, our guide to buying an electric scooter as a Christmas gift covers what suits children, teens and adults.
Speed and control
Compare the lowest riding mode and how the motor starts, rather than top speed alone. Speed limits and parental settings are available on some models only. Practise starting, turning and stopping in a suitable area with adult supervision.
Surface and setting
Match the tyres and construction to the riding area. Small wheels and travel products have different needs from dirt bikes. Check the rules for the vehicle and location before use; a children’s product is not automatically suitable for public roads.
Storage and care
Check dimensions, weight and any folding mechanism if you plan to transport the vehicle. Battery-powered models also need charging and dry storage in accordance with their manuals. Check brakes and fastenings regularly and choose a helmet and protection suited to the rider and activity.

No. The range covers different age groups, including teenagers. Always check the recommendation for the exact model and version.
What should I check before the first ride?
