Looking for a stunt scooter for a 10-year-old can be a little tricky, as the sport is so dominated by adults and teens. Most of the general options are going to be catered toward these taller riders.  However, there are some great options out there on the market to choose from! If you’re searching for the perfect stunt scooter for a young rider, you’ve come to the right place.

In this article, we will cover how to select a stunt scooter best suited for a 10-year-old rider. We’ll cover the various factors, including height, skill, and budget, so that you can make a confident choice for your young scooter rider.

How to Find a Stunt Scooter for a 10-Year-Old

Height

Not all 10-year-olds are built the same, but most of them are below the height of most adults. This is an important consideration, as stunt scooters differ from standard trick scooters in that they aren’t very adjustable. Not being adjustable is part of the safety features on stunt scooters, and a solid, non-moving bar will help keep a stunt scooter stable while performing tricks.

That said, there are scooters that are adjustable and built sturdier for young riders who are more interested in the kick scooter element than learning stunts. These options are great for beginner riders and can be more easily found on the market.

According to Healthline, the average height of a 10-year-old boy is 138.5 cm or about 4 foot 5 inches. The average height of a 10-year-old girl is not far off at 138 cm even, which is also about 4 foot 5 inches, according to Healthline.

Skill

If your 10-year-old rider is drifting into the intermediate realm, an adjustable stunt scooter is not the best option. You will want to find an option with a non-moving bar and with features that cater to riders who are performing tricks that fall into the intermediate category.

Stunt scooters that cater to intermediate riders have features that set them apart from beginner scooters. They typically have better grip tape, balanced size and weight distribution, and durable materials.

Generally, intermediate stunt scooters will cost more than those which are made for beginners due to an increase in quality and focus on durable materials. These scooters are made to last and stay together through the increase in force that comes from performing a higher level of tricks.

Budget

The budget for your stunt scooter will range depending on your preference for quality and the skill of the 10-year-old you are purchasing for. As we mentioned, the quality and skill designation of the scooter will raise the price of the stunt scooter. This means that scooters for 10-year-olds can range from as low as $30 to as high as $200.
