The scooter seems to be a very simple means of transportation, easily accessible for adults and children, but it should be approached responsibly. After all, this is a transport capable of developing speed, which means that you must be confident in the assembly, basic characteristics and ease of use.

The Explore scooters have worked pretty well. Direct production is located in the island of Taiwan, but the firm is Canadian. A wide range of models, different classes, many design options, the ability to compactly fold the device - all this increases the chances that you will find what you need in the Explore range.

• on aluminum frames of increased strength class;
• on polyurethane wheels;
• soft, comfortable steering pads;
• the ability to withstand a load of up to 100 kg.

Additionally, many models, including urban ones, are endowed with footboards, shock absorbers, which significantly facilitate movement on the ground or difficult-to-pass sections of the road (slush, sand, puddles, grass).

There are a lot of bright, beautiful scooters in the brand's lineup, which are not only popular with children, but also meet safety requirements and a reasonable budget, which is already important for adults.

• Amigo Explore Viper Sport considered one of the most popular models. A scooter can be used by a child who has reached the age of 3 years.The steering wheel is adjustable for height. The different color options suggest the model is available for both boys and girls. The composition uses aluminum and plastic.

Despite the fact that the scooter has 3 wheels, it cannot be considered a full-fledged three-wheeled vehicle. The rear support wheels are too close, they only help the child to maintain balance, this allows him to quickly learn to operate the 2-wheel model. The Viper Sport has excellent cushioning, which ensures a smooth ride, even on rough roads.

• If you need a model for the little ones, choose Explore Tiny. This is a lightweight scooter weighing up to 1.5 kg - and this is important, because obstacles may arise on the way, and it is useful for a child to learn how to independently carry his vehicle and continue moving.

• Another option definitely worthy of attention is Explore Tredia. It can be used by children from 2 years old. The model is 3-wheeled. Two wheels are positioned at the front for good balance, and one at the rear. Moreover, the front wheels are swivel. This allows you to make the scooter as maneuverable and smooth as possible. Another feature of the model that parents will definitely like is the silent bearings. No creaking or rattling. Tredia is safe with a striking, attractive design.

What can be important in a scooter for an adult? Weight, agility, style, folding ability. All of these parameters are taken into account when creating Explore models. There are definitely plenty to choose from. Several options are especially popular.

It is easy to carry even for girls - it weighs only 4.5 kg. Folding model, aluminum frame, wheel diameter 200 mm.

• Another model that teens often choose is Explore Robo Sport and Robo-200 Sport. Its design is quite defiant, so it won't suit every adult. It has clearly expressed sports elements that look a little childish in certain color variations. But from a technical point of view, Robo Sport is interesting. Increased permeability of wheels, steering wheel adjustable in height from 60 to 100 centimeters, soft rubber handles, convenient rolling system, wide platform - 16 centimeters, weight no more than 5 kg. The user's weight limit is similar to the previous version - no more than 120 kg. This scooter is really suitable for many people.

It weighs very little, only 4.2 kg, while he himself is able to withstand up to 100 kg.Unfortunately, some people do not like the lack of depreciation in it, but they often like the price. The model can be described as a budget model.

There are several favorites in this category, which are recommended not only on the official websites of the manufacturer or in dealer networks, but also on national forums.

• One of these models is considered Explore monarch... A lightweight yet reinforced aluminum frame, metal hubs, rubberized handles and, of course, a super-strong die-cast duralumin front fork for more comfortable tricks and spinning. The wheels are small - 12 centimeters in diameter. The maximum weight load is 120 kg. Like the other Explore models, this one has a stylish design.

• An analogue of the first option is considered Explore Scat. It has a slightly larger wheel diameter - 125 mm, but otherwise the scooters are similar. You can build on your design preferences.

The current lineup is much wider than that presented in this list. In general terms of Explore scooters, many have noted their pleasant design, which is especially popular with children. Most of the positive reviews are related to the price-quality ratio.

Of the minuses - sometimes there are references to the missing height adjustment, but the above models do not have such a problem. And also some parents note that even scooters designed for the smallest are not very convenient for children who have poor balance.

Study all products carefully and choose the best option that suits you!
