Classic Scooters For Modern 9-Year Olds

Sometimes, the best scooters for 9 year olds are the most obvious options. They're the classics, with a traditional design and simple structure that parents and grandparents will remember from their youth. Out of those classics, the very best will be lightweight, easy to store in compact spaces, capable of handling a smooth ride, and above all, safe.

The following short-listed scooters are a few I've found to match that criteria:

Razor A5 Lux Scooter

This can be described in one word... Reliable! But I imagine you're asking why. Why is this tried-and-true classic a reliable mode of transportation for youngsters with a blossoming need for independence? Sleek and well designed, this scooter offer an ultra-smooth ride on large urethane wheels with an aircraft grade aluminum deck on top. It's capable of holding up to 220 pounds of rider weight, with folding handlebars for immediate stashing.

Razor Ultra Pro Lo Scooter

A scooter that is perfect for sidewalk carving and numerous stunts, this one is considered high performance. Comprised of aircraft grade materials, the overall design of the Pro Lo features a double welded deck that sits closer to the ground, offering better control for smaller riders. Unfortunately, this scooter isn't foldable, as that would compromise the strength of the frame. However, it's slim and easy to fit (while still intact and standing) into compact crevices.

Have you noticed a pattern with classics and the Razor brand name? This company makes some of the best scooters in the world, and the Spark is no exception. Boasting a gleaming top-coat of blue or red, the "spark" mechanism fires off 20% more sparks than the usual sparking scooters. Simply hit the kick-switch for a small lightshow in the back; 100% safe and secure under parental supervision. It comes with one replacement cartridge!
