Scooters with turbines and steam: features and operating principle

A conversation about a kid's scooter usually touches on topics such as wheels, deck size, even colors. But the technique does not stand still - and now a number of models with interesting effects have appeared, which will delight both kids and adults. You just need to know what these effects are and what you need to pay attention to when choosing.

The appearance of scooters with pipes, like the exhaust ducts of "big" cars and motorcycles, was in 2016. The fume discharge is simulated using a pair of turbines. Simple water is poured inside. A scooter with turbines starts emitting steam as soon as a special button is pressed. For a clearer imitation, a backlighting system is used to demonstrate:

• "steam";
• "Fire";
• "smoke".

This solution is considered very beautiful and is liked by almost all children. A special heating system allows you to quickly bring the water to the desired temperature and evaporate it. However, the steam turns out to be pretty cool and practically not dangerous for babies. You can often come across a mention of models with smoke - but, of course, this is just simple steam, not smoke.

Mostly there are three-wheeled turbo scooters. But you can easily find modifications with two wheels. Some variations are made with music: both based on the melodies stored in the internal memory, and with the connection of a flash card. This solution, of course, gives people more freedom than conventional performances. Sometimes there are options with illuminated headlights and a platform; this effect will look extremely elegant.

An excellent choice among 3-wheel scooters for kids is Scooter version, which folds up. Wheels will light up while driving. The model appeared on the market in 2018. The wheels are quite wide and are very stable. The handle is extended and can be adjusted in height.

The target age is 3 to 8 years old. A useful feature is the ability to fold the steering wheel (a very valuable function when storing and transporting in a car). The design is designed to quickly learn to ride without the risk of injury. Provided:

• behind the brake;
• flexible soft footboard;
• the most convenient control device for small children;
• frame made of aluminum and reinforced plastic;
• permissible load - up to 35 kg;
• especially comfortable grips.

The blue Moby Kids Junior Rocket with smoke is also good. This scooter-rocket with sound and light, like the previous model, is formed on the basis of metal and sturdy plastic. The device is equipped with a 220 V battery (included in the set). The height of the removable handle can be adjusted in 3 different positions.

Of course, the assortment does not end with these models. praised for very good build. But it must be borne in mind that the instruction is completely in English... Moreover, the justification for such a problem would be ease of use of the bluetooth function. It works intuitively in a simple way.

The 1Toy Т11438 Rocket is also a good alternative. The device is available in red or blue. It is designed for ages from 3 to 8 years old, has a mass of 3.7 kg, that is, even children themselves can move it without problems. The steering wheel can be locked in positions from 0.72 to 0.81 m. The test is recommended to be carried out on the street or while driving, since in a stationary position, the scooter will give a small puddle.
