Secondly, safety equipment is essential, including helmets, knee pads and elbow pads. When using helmets, you should keep your chin belt tight. When riding, your children should develop the good habit of wearing safety equipment, so that they can continue to abide by these rules in the future. It is suggested that children wear sports shoes and casual shoes tied with shoelaces when riding electric scooters, which can help them have good stability when riding and parking, and avoid riding barefoot or wearing sandals.

Another safety rule is to start slowly, which is also applicable to experienced riders. If you start too fast, your child may fall. The best way is to start slowly, let your child get familiar with the scooter gradually, and gradually accelerate to the highest speed.
