Recommend an eScooter for a 10 year old

As the title states. Budget is $400

It is just for riding around on the footpath with a 30kg rider on board. Area has quite a few decent sized hills.
Purchase is not urgent so we could wait for a deal.

Was looking at these but there isn't much in the way of reviews around.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

    what could possibly go wrong…..

  • If NSW ever allows e-scooters I reckon best case they'll follow Qld and allow 12–16 year olds to ride under adult supervision. Worst case they'll follow Vic where I understand the age limit is 16.

    Seems you're in NSW.

    E-Scooters are illegal on anything public such as roads and footpaths, you can only use them on private property.

    Go get an eBike for kids.

  • Today I saw a boy about ten riding an escooter illegaly in NSW. What made it worse he was riding in the wrong direction in a roundabout! Sure you want your ten year old on one of these?

  • How about a mountain bike with gears for the hills?

  • Get him a normal kick scooter

    Title of forum post should read "Am I a bad father?"

    • The next post will be "all cars should be banned because my child was hit by one".

  • Normal scooter. The kids I see riding electric scooters need to be riding kick scooters.

    Your profile is linked to this location. If you, or your son, or anyone, is observed by the police riding an e-scooter pn "public lands" expect at the least a warning, at the worst, a collective $2,200 fine as my friend had imposed upon him less than 12 months ago.

    Don't forget the $500 life saving brain hat. And don't forget they'll want a bigger scooter as they grow, and a bigger brain hat.
