"The kids' electric scooter market is blowing up with super cheap options from unknown brands that skimp on safety certifications and build quality. You see them everywhere online, they tempt you with super low prices but without the testing or engineering that prevents accidents. Segway Ninebot built a reputation on safe, reliable personal transportation and the eKickScooter C2 Pro brings that same commitment to kids aged 6 to 14."
"The kick-to-start system avoids the most common cause of kids' scooter accidents: sudden, unexpected acceleration. The throttle doesn't kick in until your child gets the scooter up to 3 mph, and removes the possibility of the motor engaging while they are still getting on or adjusting their position. This alone turns the scooter from a potentially very hazardous toy into something kids can safely control from the first ride."
"The UL-2272 certification covers the battery system, charging components and electrical circuits, all ensuring that the scooter will not overheat, catch fire, or have electrical failures common in uncertified models. TUV Rheinland's testing process includes drop tests, water resistance evaluation and sustained load testing that goes far beyond what discount brands bother with. The scooter features three riding modes that let you match its performance to your child's skill level and the riding environment."
Segway Ninebot's eKickScooter C2 Pro offers a safety-oriented electric scooter for children aged 6 to 14, currently discounted on Amazon to $229 from $279. The scooter employs a kick-to-start system that prevents sudden motor engagement until the rider reaches approximately 3 mph. The model holds UL-2272 certification for battery and electrical safety and has undergone TUV Rheinland testing including drop, water-resistance, and sustained-load evaluations. Three riding modes (Safe, Standard, Sport) allow parents to limit speed and acceleration, with a 12.4 mph top speed in Sport. A 150W motor provides sufficient torque for hills and supports riders up to about 132 pounds.
