3 wheeled scooter for a 9 year old?

I bought ds a 2 wheeled scooter last year as he’s grown out of his 3 wheeler but he just doesn’t want to ride it all. He is a super cautious type plus not the most coordinated and he obviously hates how it feels.
I’d like to get him another 3 wheeler but can’t seem to find one big enough for him. He’s 1.35m tall. Has anyone got one they could recommend?

Thanks!

Micro do a maxi one (for up to 12 years 152cm) and an adults one (from 12 years, not sure of the height, but adult height).

can your DS ride a bike?

my 8yo didn't like his 2 wheeled scooter at all at first, and couldn't get the hang of it. then he learned to ride a bike and suddenly the scooting on 2 wheels clicked into place too.

If he doesn't like it I would just encourage him to ride a bike instead. Another option would be get a two wheeler with bigger/wider wheels aimed at teens and adults as that might feel more stable.
