In our days of progress and self-development, practicality, functionality and compactness are valued. Perhaps it is these parameters that have become essential in prioritization. The reality is that today, on the streets, you can often find not only children, but also adults on scooters. For children, this is an excellent means of developing certain skills and abilities, and for adults, it is a good means of transportation within walking distance.
As for the choice of scooters, no one is experiencing a deficit in this case today, since stores are full of various options for every taste and wallet. But at the same time, the average buyer, according to the sellers, opts for the 21St Scooter product line.

Features and device
Scooter series scooters - this is the case when the price matches the quality... To be more precise, the manufacturer (China) for a relatively low price offers a rather interesting model range, the operating time of which depends on several components. It:
- the quality of the roadway;
- respect for the device;
- no less important factor is a correctly selected scooter model for specific user requirements.
In order for the child to be as protected as possible and feel comfortable while riding, it is important to choose the right scooter. For more dexterous children, the manufacturer has developed a line of products with a steering wheel mechanism, which allows them to improve existing skills (coordination of movements, the ability to keep balance).

Children's fixed-handlebar devices, which can also have a brake on the handle, are intended for beginners who are just getting started with the scooter, as this ensures safe braking at fast speeds. Of course, models with a brake on the rear wheel cannot be called a device of increased danger, but braking of this type requires a certain skill from the user. The difficulty is that here you need to try not only to slow down, but also to maintain balance, especially since there is a rear brake mainly on two-wheeled scooters.
The 21St Scooter series has a range of models equipped with a spring, which provides good shock absorption while riding. This is essential for both children's models and scooters intended for older people.
The spring allows you to significantly improve the ride quality even on "off-road".

The lineup
As already noted, the lineup is represented by devices that can satisfy a wide range of requirements of the most demanding customer. This is both comfortable transportation and points related to the quality of the ride. The manufacturer took care of consumers of different age groups, since the products are designed for children from 1 to 14 years old.
To be more precise, 21St Scooter products are primarily differentiated by age:
- from 1.5 to 5 years old;
- from 3 to 8;
- from 1 to 5;
- 4 to 9.

Some age categories overlap, but differ directly by the device itself. For example, for more dexterous children 5 years old, it is recommended to buy a model from 3 to 8, rather than for 1.5-5, since the second option is mainly aimed at younger children, as evidenced by the first figure (1.5). As for children from 1 to 3 years old who are just getting acquainted with the technique, it is recommended that parents pay attention to the options 3 in 1 or 5 in 1.
A 3-in-1 product is a scooter, balance bike or a gurney with a control handle. Technology is attractive because it is forward-looking. One-year-old children who are unable to drive on their own can be rolled by adjusting the device with the adult handle.
Children from 2 to 3 years old can use the equipment as a balance bike (a removable seat is included in the kit) or a scooter.

5-in-1 scooters are the same transformers as 3-in-1, only their transformation is presented somewhat more broadly. It can be a folding mechanism of the device, which simplifies storage and operation; it is also a mechanism that allows you to change the height of the steering wheel as the child grows up. By the way, from 5-in-1 models, by adjusting the handle height correctly, you can make a good walker.
For young children just starting out with scooters, released a series of comfortable and safe three-wheeled devices from the Mini collection. Here you can find both standard models and colorful ones with glowing wheels. As for the girls-boys variation, it is reflected mainly in the color scheme. For girls, pink scooters are more often bought, and for boys - from blue to green, which is taken into account by the manufacturer.

Starting from about the age of five, according to sellers, parents pay less attention to the color of the device, focusing more and more on the components of the scooter itself (the location of the brake, the size of the wheels and their material of manufacture). In such cases, you should already pay attention to the range of two-wheeled scooters Maxi. This series is many times wider and more diverse than the Mini, as the consumer not only gets older, but also has different skills and abilities. Some are focused directly on driving, its quality and speed, while others are just trying themselves in this area.
It is worth noting that scooters designed for a consumer up to 5 years old can have both 2 and 3 wheels. Tricycle models have 2 wheels at the front and one at the rear for greater stability.
More often the rear wheel is several times smaller than the two front wheels, this ensures stability during relatively fast driving and good control due to the front wheels.

Selection recommendations
With a wide range of models, the choice of a scooter directly depends not only on the child's age and body weight, but is also related to the child's abilities. Having selected a model corresponding to the weight category of the user, his physical fitness should be analyzed. For example, for dexterous children with good coordination of movements, it is more expedient to buy a more "adult" model, which will contribute to the best development of the already existing qualities.
It can be the mobility of the steering wheel, which not only promotes self-control, but also develops mental abilities. This is the brake system located on the rear wheel, which requires a certain skill from the child. This is also the size of the wheels (large wheels provide the fastest ride).

For those new to the industry, you should choose a model that provides safety and ease of use in the first place. These are the brakes located on the steering wheel. These are the most stable 3 wheels. For very young amateurs, you can look at a model with a fixed steering wheel, which also excludes a fall.
In both the first and second cases, it is recommended to pay attention to the models of folding scooters, which do not take up much space in the apartment and will not cause trouble, for example, when transporting on a bus or while climbing to any floor (which will be especially relevant for mothers walking, for example, with two small children).

How to assemble and disassemble?
Not all scooter models fold and unfold easily as many consumers would like, in this regard, specialists have identified several ways to fold and unfold the device.
- The simplest, perhaps, can be called the push-button method, the essence of which is to press a special button, which, by the way, is often protected by a special fuse that prevents accidental pressing.
- The classic way of assembly is traditional. It focuses on a certain lever, by pulling which you can easily bring the device to the desired position. The complexity of this method lies in the fact that after preparing the scooter for riding, the lever must be tightened in a certain way in order to prevent arbitrary folding.
- The Super Rein Force system is recognized as the most modern folding mechanism. The essence of the method consists in lifting a special safety tube to the front wheel. The frame will be fixed after the tube enters the special comb.
The method of collecting the scooter is described in the instructions. Experts say that two-wheeled devices are much easier to assemble than three-wheeled models. This is due to the alleged independence of the child. A distinctive feature of 21St Scooter scooters is the lightness of the device and ease of assembly, which allows even a child to cope with this task.

Review overview
The first thing consumers notice is good value for money. With a relatively low price (from 1,700 to 9,000 rubles), you can purchase a reliable scooter, which, with the right choice and careful operation, will last quite a long time. An important factor is considered simplicity and convenience during operation inherent in 21St Scooter products. And also, according to users, the devices have a fairly high-quality shock absorption.
Of the shortcomings, it is noted heavy weight in comparison with some models of other companies. There were cases when bearings "flew" or "screws jumped out", which can be corrected taking into account the warranty. Experts noted that malfunctions such as worn out bearings or flying propellers may appear due to a mismatch between the characteristics of the scooter and the roads where the ride is carried out.
