What’s differences between Traditional Kick Scooters and Kickboard Scooters

Traditional Kick Scooters

Kick scooters were made popular in the U.S. by Razor, and they’re the style of Balance Bike Without Pedals that dominate the market. If you’re unsure which style of scooter to get, a kick scooter is a safe bet. Kick scooters for kids or adults offer the same riding experience, they just differ in wheels size and overall size.

You steer a kick scooter like you steer a bike – by turning the handlebars to turn the front wheel. This motion can be more difficult for very young kids to control, which is why we recommend kickboard scooters for toddlers.

Kickboard Scooters

Kickboard scooters originated with Micro Kickboards, and in recent years have become popular for their stability and unique ride. With three wheels instead of the traditional two, they help kids maintain their balance, and the scooter stays upright when a child gets off and walks away. Less worry = more fun!

They also have a unique lean-to-steer function like a skateboard. There is no turning of handlebars to turn the front wheel. Instead, a child leans their body in the direction they want to go. This limits Balance Ride Bike in their ability to execute sharp turns or maneuver quickly, but makes them much more stable for young riders.

We’ve found kickboard scooters to be more popular with kids 8-years-old and under, as they tend to be slower than standard Children Balance Bike Without Pedals There are many brands that have since copied this kickboard style, but Kids PushBike remains the best quality kickboard scooter brand out there.
