What types of scooters are there?

Not all scooters are the same. Depending on age and intended use, a different model is appropriate:

  • Children's Scooter – stable mini-scooters for the little ones, often with 2 or 3 wheels.
  • City Scooter – foldable and lightweight, ideal for everyday use, commuting, and the city.
  • Freestyle & Stunt Scooter – robust and non-foldable. Long since moved beyond just the skatepark, they are now the ultimate trend for teenagers – including on the way to school.
  • Scooter with Pneumatic Tires – cushioned comfort for longer distances (e.g., from Yedoo).
  • Trampoline Scooter – for safe jumps and practicing first tricks.
Various scooter models at Funwheel Switzerland

Which scooter is suitable for which age?

Body height Age (approx.) Recommendation
from 100 cm approx. 3–6 years Mini-scooter from 100 cm
from 120 cm approx. 7–9 years Scooter from 120 cm
from 140 cm approx. 10–13 years Scooter from 140 cm
from 160 cm from 14 years & adults Scooter from 160 cm

Body height is more important than age: the handlebar should be roughly between navel and chest height so that your child can steer and brake safely.

For brands, we recommend Globber and Scoot & Ride for children, Madd Gear (formerly MGP) and Motion for the freestyle range, and Yedoo for pneumatic tire models.

Buying a scooter in Switzerland

Whether you call it a scooter, "Trottinett," or "Tretroller" – it all means the same vehicle. At Funwheel, you will find them for all ages, from the first children's scooter to stunt scooters for teenagers. Everything is available from our Swiss warehouse, with fast delivery and advice from our roller sports specialists.

What to look for when buying a scooter

  • Handlebar height: matched to body height – see details in the guide to handlebar height.
  • Footboard/deck: deep and slip-resistant for a secure stance.
  • Wheels & bearings: larger wheels = more speed; read more under wheel size.
  • Suspension: pneumatic tires or suspension models provide comfort on uneven paths.
  • Compression system: important for stunt scooters to withstand the impact of jumps.
  • Folding mechanism: practical for city scooters, a "no-go" for real stunt scooters.

Frequently asked questions about scooters

At what age can a child use a scooter?+
The first mini-scooters with seats are available from around 1.5 years old, and classic children's scooters from about 3 years old. The determining factor is body height, not age.
Scooter, Trottinett, or Tretroller – what is the difference?+
None: "Trottinett" is the Swiss term, "Tretroller" is the classic German term – they all refer to the same scooter.
Which scooter for the school commute?+
Lightweight, foldable city scooters are suitable for everyday use, but many teenagers also ride their stunt scooters to school. Sturdy wheels and a secure deck are important.
