Can anyone recommend a children’s electric scooter please

[Mumaaa]

Hi my son is so tired in the morning I want to get him an electric scooter to get to school but know nothing about them if anyone has good or bad experience please let me know
I’m thinking a Segway ninebot d18 or c2 or c2pro
does anyone know if the speed stays as it’s set or does increase as you go?
I’m not looking for something fast at all just a fast walking pass would be fine.
a little worried he will find it hard to balance as he currently has a three wheel but can’t find any that don’t look babyish with three wheels
would be really grateful for advice or recommendations. Do I need to spend alot of money I’ve seen some for £100 on very catalogue but don’t mind investing for something better as I know it would make mornings easier for my son.
thank you!

Thank you everyone it appears no one thinks this is a good idea and only one person who had a child’s electric scooter! Thought it was such a goid idea 😂

And he does have the maxi version but he is only fast moving after school because he’s tired in the morning. I’m not trying to buy an expensive gift like someone said I’m trying to improve his life. It’s a shame no one has experience with it because it is illegal!
Does anyone know any better scooters than maxi micro scooter maybe better wheels would help there just small plastic ones

Doesn't matter how slow he is going. If the police spot it they will confiscate it.

Honestly I hate this modern attitude to the law "Well I'm not bothering anyone so why does it matter, it's about making my life easier, blah blah blah". It's selfish. They're a fire risk. He won't be in full control and could hurt someone. You need to find a legal and sensible alternative, and stop trying to justify this terrible decision.

I didn't know he was only 8. I thought he was going independently to school, so maybe older.

I was trying to find out if it was safe from others I had no idea it was a fire risk. It would be safe if he is next to me at walking speed using my phone to control speed. My last comment was can anyone recommend a scooter better than maxi which is a normal scooter so I have changed my mind but if someone happens to have experience and can say it is perfectly safe I will be getting one

What about a skateboard? Or roller blades?

You seem adamant @Mumaaa, they are illegal for a reason and it isn't just about the speed. It is quite possible a police officer would see it and confiscate it - what would you do then? Could you afford to replace it or would it be a big financial issue?

YouTube 'electric scooter fores' and you'll see them. Where did you intend to store it as you shouldn't store it indoors, if you live in a flat you can't take it in lifts etc. Storing in the back of a car is risky incase of impact.

If his disability is impacting him this much then you need to apply for DLA which can then be used for taxi journeys, you could go with him and walk back.

We had a scooter strap to pull the scooter along when mine were little. Not sure how you'd fare with an 8 year old but it might be a possibility for part of the way?

My 8 year old certainly likes being pulled when he’s feeling lazy! (It is laziness in his case, obviously not with OP’s DS)

If a non-electric scooter is tipping up when he hits bumps, an e scooter is going to be exactly the same OP. That plus the fire risk, I just wouldn’t get one.

Electric scooters are banned on the London Underground due to the fire risks.

We have had several children playing on electric scooters on my estate. The police have said if they are seen again in public, they will be confiscated. They won't be returned. You would lose a lot of money. Other parents would definitely report you as it sends out the wrong message to their children.
