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.
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.
