Twenty-four models, and a buyer has to pick three or four of them. This page is the short version of the questions we get asked on WhatsApp every week — age, deck, fold, features, shelf, order size — with a link to the full answer on each one.
There is no single best kids scooter. There is a scooter that fits a five-year-old on a flat pavement, one that fits a supermarket shelf 42 cm deep, one that fits a 200-piece trial order, and they are often three different models. What follows is the order in which we actually narrow it down with a new buyer — and it is the order that produces a usable quotation fastest.
Age is a rough proxy; weight and height are the real constraints. A three-wheel deck with a lean-to-steer mechanism is the right first scooter because it stays upright at walking speed and teaches the lean before the balance. A two-wheel or folding scooter arrives at roughly the same time the child stops falling off, which in most markets is five to seven years old.
The number that matters on the spec sheet is the load rating. A 50 kg frame is not a marketing figure — it decides tube wall thickness, deck material and the wheel bearing, and it is the first thing a serious buyer checks before discussing price. If your market includes hand-me-down use between siblings, buy the higher rating.
Folding is a retail decision more than an engineering one. In markets where the customer takes the scooter home in a hatchback boot, folding sells the unit. In markets where it lives in a hallway and never folds, the folding mechanism is one more part that can break, and a fixed three-wheel deck is cheaper and stronger at the same price point.
Ask yourself what the carton does on the shelf, too. A folding model usually packs shorter and deeper than a fixed deck, which changes how many units you get per shelf bay and how the pallet is built.
Light-up wheels are the strongest single feature in this category: the LED core needs no battery, the child sees it move in the shop, and the parent sees it as a safety benefit at dusk. Music units sell well in South Asia and the Middle East, where the handlebar sound box is expected at the mid price point and its absence is noticed. Animal-shape decks are a gift channel — strong in the fourth quarter, slow in February.
Do not stack all three on one model unless your customer is paying for it. Each feature adds cost and a part that can fail, and a scooter that does everything is usually a scooter that does nothing well at its price.
A supermarket programme and a toy wholesaler want different things from the same scooter. Chain retail needs a barcode on the colour box, a carton mark that matches the store's receiving system, and a pallet that fits a standard bay — and it will reject a delivery that misses any of the three. A wholesaler mostly wants the lowest landed cost per unit and a carton that survives being stacked six high in a warehouse.
Colour is where this shows up first. Stock colours ship immediately; a matched colour needs a minimum per colour and adds roughly a week. Tell us the shelf, not just the model, and we will tell you which of the two you are actually buying.
Fifty pieces per model is our minimum, and it is a real minimum rather than a negotiating position — below it the carton print run and the line changeover stop making sense. Above fifty, price moves in steps rather than smoothly, and the steps sit at roughly one carton layer, one pallet and one full container.
A first order is usually three or four models at 50 to 150 pieces each, which fills a 40HQ without betting the business on one scooter. That is also the cheapest way to learn which model your market actually reorders.
No prices, and no specifications we have not measured. A FOB price depends on quantity, packaging and the wheel and bearing specification, so a number printed on a page is wrong for most of the people reading it. Send the models, the quantity and the destination port and you get a price for the shipment you are actually planning, with the carton dimensions attached.
The same rule applies to certificates, and here the supply base is genuinely uneven: some factories in the cluster hold a current EN71 or ASTM F963 report for a particular model, others have never submitted it for testing. A sourcing partner earns its fee by knowing which is which. Tell us your market and we say — before you pay a deposit — which models ship on an existing report, which need a fresh test through a third-party lab, and which we would rather not offer you at all. We do not put a compliance badge on a page and hope nobody asks for the document.
Everything below lives on our scooter site, where the model tables, factory photos and loading records sit together. Start with the group that matches your question.
Yes — that is how most of our orders ship. Three or four models at 50 to 200 pieces each still fills a 40HQ, and we send a loading plan with the carton count per model before you pay the deposit. The only constraint is that each model stays at or above 50 pieces.
No. A single scooter is a sample, not an order, and it is quoted as a sample with freight charged at cost. If you want one unit to check the frame and the folding action, ask for a sample and we will tell you what it costs to send it to your city.
FOB Tianjin, which is the port our manufacturing partners in Pingxiang truck to. We can quote EXW from the factory gate or CIF to your port, but FOB Tianjin is the price we publish because it is the one that stays comparable between suppliers.
Ours. The factory codes change between lines and mean nothing outside Pingxiang, so we keep one number per scooter across the spec sheet, the carton and the invoice. When you reorder V6011 eighteen months later, it is the same scooter.
Every unit gets a ride test and a brake and folding-lock check on the line, and we photograph the loaded cartons and the sealed container. On certificates the picture in Pingxiang is uneven: some factories hold a current EN71 or ASTM F963 report for a given model, others have never tested it. We check it model by model and arrange third-party testing when your market needs it — we do not claim a certificate we have not been issued.
Send the models you are considering and where they are landing. You get FOB Tianjin pricing, carton dimensions and a mixed-container loading plan.
