How to choose a double electric scooter?
Scooters have long been included in everyday use. But riding alone is not very pleasant, sometimes boring. The solution turns out to be the use of models adapted for two - it is worthwhile to deal with them in more detail.
Features and Applications
Electric scooters are already in demand by the widest segments of consumers, regardless of age, region and profession. The possibility of pair skating is needed not only to emphasize the emotional closeness between people. In practice, it is very convenient to go with a primary school child together to school, to the market, or just for a walk.
Almost all people can buy a double electric scooter - there are models with very different prices. But in this case, you need to be extremely vigilant - pair skating for both adults and children significantly increases the requirements for the product.
The steering column must be adjustable. Before going anywhere, it is required to place it so that it does not touch the surface of the face of the lower passenger. If you plan to ride a child, you should choose models with particularly effective shock absorption. If the electric scooter for a mother with a child's seat does not smooth out the unevenness of the path as quickly and completely as possible, there will be a lot of problems. Good versions will help you overcome:
- bump or pothole;
- stones;
- curbs;
- "Speed bumps".
It is imperative to choose models with shock absorption on all wheels. The spring-loaded or pneumatic-based type of shock, however, does not really matter.
If you know that you will have to drive on uneven surfaces, you should give preference to devices with inflatable wheels. They are better than others to cope with bumps, pits and other depressions.To ride with two parents and teenagers at the same time, you need to choose a scooter with a large deck, where 4 feet can freely stand.
Usage
Driving accuracy is of the utmost importance. We'll have to monitor the safety of two riders at once. This seemingly self-evident requirement is violated too often, and it should always be reminded. It is imperative to observe the speed limit and wear equipment for both the "driver" and "passenger". It is imperative to remember that the additional load shifts the center of gravity and also increases the braking distance.
You can ride an adult and a child (teenager) together only on condition that the legs of the younger passenger are in the correct position. We'll have to continuously monitor the balance of both riders. An adult scooter with a narrow deck will need to be supplemented with a special stand. Its surface should not slip.
Installation of the "step" is carried out so that the platform is easily accessible for the legs of an adult.
Modifications
There are versions with two seats (including a child seat), which are comfortable and safe. Various major suppliers supply such products. Child seats are placed in the center of the steering column. No forward nods occur during braking. It is necessary to start choosing a scooter for riding in parks or trips to kindergartens with three-wheeled variations.
