Recommend Me a Kick Scooter for a 8 Year Old

What kick scooter would you recommend for a tallish (~4'5) 8 year old to really get into and do tricks?
The kiddo is getting pretty good with and perhaps a bit too strong for the kmart scooters which are just visibly slowing the kid down. I am looking for something more nimble, well lubricated and not as heavy as the kmart stuff. Will be used on concrete and gravel surfaces. Happy to spend money for the right stuff.

  • Micro. We got one for ours at about that age and the thing was indestructible. Grew out of it as a fad, the scooter itself is still as new years later.
    Just buy the adult version so it can take the weight as they grow.

    • Micro scooters also hold their value quite well (both the 3 wheel and 2 wheel versions). Sold our 3 wheelers for $50 each, considering I bought it for $90 new about 4 years ago, that’s not bad

      And parts are quite easily replaceable

    • I wouldn’t use the Micro ones on gravel, wheels are too small.

  • gravel surfaces

    So it needs a pair of big ass wheels then

    • Gravel and trick scooter don’t fit well together.

  • we bought the Evny S3 from scooterhut for our 8yr old.

    Good for skate park and around the house, not gravel
