Incorrect Bar Height
A scooter handlebar should be anywhere from mid thigh to just below the belly button. The waistline is our general recommendation.
-
Correct Bar Height
You do not want to leave the bars too tall thinking the rider will grow into them. This can cause more injuries when riding and potentially hitting their face on the bar ( img, kid with missing teeth, black eye and way too tall bars
-
Sizing
Arguably the most important factor in a pro scooter is the size. For the simplest approach we can look at just two parts - the bars and the deck. Luckily, if you’re purchasing a complete scooter, the dimensions between the two should be proportionate. For a complete we can simplify and just look at bar height.

Safety Gear
A big concern for any activity or new hobby as a parent, is avoiding injury.
-
Neighborhood
If the rider has no previous experience in action sports, they should not start out in the skatepark. This can be dangerous for them and other skatepark users before they have the knowledge of not only their own skills but what to expect from other riders in the park. We recommend going on some rides around the neighborhood together and practicing basics in the driveway.

Skateparks
Once they are jumping around a little and you think they are ready to start trying some ramps, google some local skateparks to find obstacles that aren’t too intense. The review section will let you know if the skate park is family friendly or has a rough crowd. Another good way to find a family friendly skatepark is if safety gear is required and enforced. This tends to get rid of the riff raff.
