One of the coolest new products to hit store shelves this fall is the Safe Start Scooter for kids. Created by Pulse Performance Products, a brand leader in high performance scooters, the Safe Start Scooter is a first of its’ kind, offering an electric component for kids ages three and older.
We had the opportunity to test out this new ride and were quite impressed! Parents car rest assured with the safety of this three wheel scooter.
There are a total of 5 safety features encompassed within the Safe Start Kids Scooter:
- Steering limiter: Safe maneuverability. Young or inexperienced riders can easily steer the scooter, controlling the turns of the sidewalk or driveway while remaining safely balanced. With the steering limiter built-in, riders won’t be able to make sharp turns or over-steer.
- Gradual takeoff: Ideal for young riders, there is no abrupt take off when starting the electric scooter, thanks to the innovative push button throttle. It gently starts the motor to reach a comfortable driving speed without any sudden movement or jerk.
- Wide track: The stable three-wheel design with the wide front wheelbase keeps riders balanced, while the overall deck shape provides maximum stability with every turn so riders won’t tip over.
- Low stance: The comfortable low deck height not only makes getting on and off the scooter safer for younger kids, but also makes it easier to ride and maneuver.
- Deck stability: Young riders often prefer to stand facing forward with both feet together. The wide, generous deck accommodates that and many other foot positions. The top grip surface provides a safe, non-slip foot bed to keep little feet from slipping off while riding.

Our thoughts:
The 1 push start and stop button makes this simple for young kids to operate. Both boys, ages 3 and 6, really enjoy riding the electric scooter. I appreciate the safety features and see that Pulse really put a lot of thought into creating a safe ride for young kids with this product. Although the scooter offers a wide deck and stability, kids still learn how to manuever and balance while on three wheels. The Safe Start Scooter moves at one comfortable speed; about as quickly as an adult taking a brisk walk. I think this is an excellent product for younger kids to enjoy when keeping up with older siblings or their parents.
My boys love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I do too! The Safe Start Kids Scooter comes in a variety of favorite characters like Disney Princesses, Frozen, Spider-Man and more!
The Safe Start Scooter easily charges with a wall plug-in, just like you would other electronic devices. It has an approximate run time of 40 minutes, and is safe for riders 50 lbs or under.
I highly recommend checking out this cool ride-on toy! I’m certain it will be at the top of kids wishlists this year. You can find Safe Start Scooters at retailers nationwide including Walmart, Kmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, and online at amazon.com.

What a cute scooter with the Ninja Turtles on it. My nephew would love this scooter. I will have to tell my sister about getting him this for Christmas!
Crystal says
That is such a cool toy! If I hook a couple of them together, maybe I could ride them too! I know that’ll be included in a lot of letters to Santa this year.

Oh my goodness this is cute. My two elementary school kids would LOVE this, especially since the one in the picture is Teenage mutant ninja turtle. I had no clue they would make an electric scooter for this size. Cool. I love that it is just one little button.

Kira says
A scooter is on the girls holiday wish list so I will definitely take a look at this brand. Especially the frozen and p Sofia the first scooter.
Megan @mnmspecial says
My son would love this. Do you know if it is easy to manually ride if the battery died before your child made it back home?
Jennifer H says
It was rideable without being charged but sounded quite loud. I’m not sure if riding without a charge would cause damage to the motor at all though.
Elisabeth says
I love that you just press a button to go! 🙂

Owen's Mom says
Too cute! I love the idea of a gentle start. Sometimes electric toys bolt ahead when they start. Also love the wide base platform for little feet.
