Top 5 Features to Look for in a 3-Wheel Scooter with Lights and Sounds
Scooters with lights and sounds are fun to look at, but not all scooters are created equal. We tested over 10 models and here are 5 features that are essential to identify a truly quality scooter:
1. Original LED light-up wheels (not just stickers)
Many scooters only have fluorescent stickers that do not light up. In genuine quality scooters LED-inbuilt wheels there is something that burns when it rotates. Our Scooter for kids with light and sound and Robo Man Scooter models also have original LED wheels.
2. Real sound effects (not just beeps)
Some scooters just make a beeping sound. Good scooters have music, engine sounds, or funny voices. Our models have 3 different sound modes — kids love them!
3. Adjustable handlebar (grows with child)
If the handlebar is fixed, they will become shorter after 6 months. Our scooters have 3-4 levels of adjustment, so they can be used by children from 5 years old to 8 years old.
4. Durable PVC/PP frame (doesn’t break if dropped)
Children ride scooters, jump, and rub them, so the frame must be made of PVC or PP plastic, which does not break. All our scooters are made of such materials.
5. White label and bulk packaging (for retailers)
If you are a toy shop, party supplier or online seller, our white label scooters are for you. Your logo can be printed on them, and special discounts are available for orders of 100+ pieces.
Our top models like the Scooter for Kids with Light and Sound and Robo Man Scooter offer all these features.
