Pink Kick Scooter ! A Real-Life Report of a Child Catching the Wind

For my child’s birthday present this year, I chose a kick scooter ! ☆

And it’s this eye-catching, vibrant pink one♪

Oops ・・・

In this photo, my child is more the “main event”

than the kick scooter itself!

Let’s get back on track. This time,

I’ll mainly be sharing the story of sky dolphin-M-‘s daughter♪

Plus, I’ll share a slightly embarrassing (?) story at the end!

A Kick Scooter That Turns via “Center of Gravity”!

Apparently, there are two types of kick scooters. (^^♪

One type turns by turning the handlebars like a bicycle.

The other type…

I’m not sure if you call it “shifting body weight” or

“shifting the center of gravity,” but it’s that kind of style.

My child’s kick scooter is the “shifting the center of gravity” type ☆

You turn by leaning your weight to the left or right

from a straight upright position.

You can adjust the handlebar height by pressing this golden button.

The front wheels move side-to-side,

so you lean your body in the direction you want to go to make a turn.

Children who are used to balance bikes (Strider) or

bicycles might try to turn the handlebars at first.

Riding Sound and Things to Watch Out For

One thing to be a bit careful about is the sound of the tires. (/・ω・)/

On asphalt, it makes a “clatter-clatter” rattling sound.

Also, if the road is bumpy or uneven,

the tires might get caught. It’s perfectly fun on smoothly paved roads!

This was taken the very first time she rode it,

so she’s super nervous (lol). Please just use the audio for reference! (;^ω^)

The Child’s Real Feedback After Using the Kick Scooter

“It was hard at first,
but now it’s really fun!” —

So, it does require a little practice at first,

but she seems to feel a great sense of achievement once she masters it! ♪

I’m personally hoping it helps develop her sense of balance.

How to Fold It It’s inconvenient if it isn’t compact for carrying, right…?

So, I’m uploading a video showing how easily it folds down.

It’s so easy! (^^♪

Just step on the front of the board with your foot and pull the bar upwards.

It’s easy to take to the park and easy to load into a bicycle or car.

The Protector Incident

When I bought it, it came with a set of

protectors and gear (excluding the helmet).

But since I’ve never played while wearing

gear like that in the past, I didn’t notice something…

What was it?

Please take a look. Can you spot the mistake??

The pink protector set was perfectly fastened…

My daughter looks like she’s posing coolly in the photo,

but without knowing how to use them,

she put the “palm guards” on the “back of her hands”! (lol)

I didn’t know gear like this existed nowadays.

Doesn’t that make it hard to hold the handlebars??

Honestly, I feel like the palm guards might not be necessary,

and since my child says she doesn’t want them,

we might end up not using them at all.

I wonder when she’ll be able to

fully master this pink kick scooter?(´▽｀)

But as a parent, I’m conflicted—

I don’t want her to become a speed demon because it’s dangerous (lol).
