LED-Wheeled Foldable ChromeWheels Scooters from ShopHot

I don't know about where you're from, but here in NYC, kids learn to ride scooters pretty soon after learning to walk! Maybe it's because we don't drive much, or don't have space to store multiple bikes, but scooters have become a huge part of my family's life, which is why we're so happy to collaborate with ShopHot.com on this review of 2 of the ChromeWheels Scooters sold on their website (discount code at bottom of this post)!!

Before I go into my full review below, be sure to watch my video unboxing, setting up the scooters, and trying them out, including footage of my very first time riding a scooter! HA! (The kids' adorable helmets are Mini Hornit LIDS, check out our review here if you missed it!)
2-Wheel Deluxe 8" Wheel ChromeWheels Scooter
Our 6.5 year old had outgrown his non-adjustable 3-wheel scooter and was nervous but excited to graduate to a 2-wheeler. Since he hasn't learned to ride a bike yet, balance-wise it definitely took some getting used to, but there's no stopping him now! He feels (and looks) like such a big boy! If you have a child ready for a 2-wheeler, this is a great one, check out some of these features:
  • 200 pound weight limit (ages 6+) - meaning my husband and I can both use it, very cool! 
  • large anti-slip deck - it's very grippy, and so wide that I can stand on it with my feet next to each other and not hanging off (see image below)!
  • adjustable handlebar - there are 5 height settings ranging from 34.6 to 41.3 inches, and it's a quick and easy push-of-the-button adjustment.
  • light but heavy-duty - it weighs just 8.8 pounds but is very sturdy (the frame is 80% aluminum and 20% steel)
  • kickstand & rear-wheel brake - I hadn't thought about this being a necessity since we were used to 3-wheel scooters that stand on their own, but the kickstand is really helpful on a 2-wheeler!
  • easy fold - you just pull a little lever and the T bar folds down, super easy. You can also push a button on each handle to pull them out and fold over, so it can get quite compact!
  • design - offered in blue, black, and pink, with light up LED wheels that get brighter the faster you go!
Retails for $69 on shophot.com or Amazon (affiliate link).

Deluxe Foldable 3-Wheel ChromeWheels Scooter
What's great about this scooter is that it's super easy for young children to learn to ride. It's technically for ages 3-12 but my girls learned to ride a 3-wheel scooter when they were about 18 months! So, this would make a really great 2nd, 3rd, or 4th birthday present!! Because it has 2 wheels spread out in front, it balances on its own. The handlebar is fixed so it's much easier for them to keep their balance while learning to scoot, and little by little they'll learn the lean-to-steer function. My personal advice for teaching a young child how to do this is have them stand on the scooter, you stand behind the scooter and lean over them and gently hold their hands on the handle bar. As you push them, you can lean them each direction so they can feel how it works. Once comfortable they can start to scoot and steer on their own. There's a great double wheel brake in back, but younger children may use their feet as brakes instead (sorry, if doing this they'll go through shoes pretty quickly!). Anyway, this is a fabulous scooter and you can't ask for a better bang for your buck simply because it's good for such a wide age range!! We just got ours a week ago though, so I can't personally attest to how long they'll last. I'm hoping many years!! Here are some of the features of this one:
  • ​​150 pound max (ages 3-12)
  • adjustable handlebar - quick push of the button with 4 height levels (25 to 34.5 inches)
  • lightweight & foldable - just 6 pounds and quick to fold by pulling up on the bottom of the T-bar
  • design - available in black, blue, pink, purple, and red, with clear urethane LED light-up wheels​
​Retails for $45 on ShopHot.com and Amazon (affiliate link).

What we're LOVING about these scooters?
  1. The price tag!! At about $45 for the 3-wheeler and $70 for the 2-wheeler, it won't break the bank and it also won't break your heart if junior ends up losing it!
  2. They fold!! How great is that!? Makes for easier and more compact storage, throwing them in the trunk of your car or into our Wonderfold Wagon (check out that review here!!). You can also fully detach the T-bar if needing to store it somewhere even more compactly.
  3. They light up!! Our kids have never had light-up shoes, so this is really our first time having something that lights up and frankly, we're in love! The LED lights on the wheels aren't noticible outside in bright daylight much, but at dusk or at night, or even indoors like in our building's hallways - they're so much fun!! Not to mention a bit of an added safety measure against traffic and what not.

So, what do you think!? If you're shopping for a birthday present, back to school gift, exam reward, Christmas gift, etc - you can't go wrong with a ChromeWheels Scooter from ShopHot.com AND our readers can get $66 off orders over $300 with code UJFSH66 here (valid through 9/18/19)!

I used to be obsessed with my scooter when I was a little girl! Mind you, it wasn't as cool as this ChromeWheels Scooter.

My husband almost bought one of these for the boys. Unfortunately, they were still too young to appreciate it.

How do you switch from kilometers to miles on the speedometer?
