Electric scooters for kids, age by age
Match the scooter's speed class and weight rating to the age: about 6 to 10 mph for 6 and 7 year olds, about 10 mph at 8 to 9, 10 to 12.5 mph at 10 to 12, and the 15.5 mph teen class from 13. A typical 12 year old is 59.5 in and 89 lb, so look for a 12 mph scooter rated 130 lb or more.
