electric riding cars for kids image
Curious Jo
Hi I work in San Francisco's financial district, so I'm looking to buy a scooter I can use to commute around the city. After while walking can get really tiring. Hence the researching. So what are some good brands/models do you recommend? I'm looking for a study scooter that can fold, and can ride smooth on pavement and uneven urban surfaces. My price range $200 and below. $100 and below even better. Also other then razor, what are other good brands to look into as well. Thank you for your time.

Pros:Great Price no fuel used.
Cons:You can't carry weight over 120 pounds
The Bottom Line: I had a lot of fun with my scooter. I will use it again in a safe park.
I made a purchase last year when it was summer and I was living in the middle of a city. I went to Target and found an Electric Powered Razor E100 Electric Scooter for a little over a hundred. It was a fast purchase but I didn't have a car and this seemed perfect for quick runs to the store. It goes pretty fast around 10mph. The battery lasts for 5 miles or 40 minutes of continuous use and it is easy to get going and to stop. It has a variable speed chain drive and comes with the battery and all the tools needed.
It is recommended for kids 8 and over. It takes 4 hours to charge which I feel is reasonable. It also easily folds up and comes in different colors and styles. You can twist grip the acceleration as to control you're speed easier. I am 25 but I fit the height and weight requirements so as long as I didn't get over 120 pounds I was okay riding it. So it wasn't as efficient for grocery purchases but took me to the ATM or to the bank. To start it up you have to run it over 3 miles an hour and it starts. It definitely is a workout. Don't let anyone tell you that balancing a scooter is a free ride. You use you're balance constantly and to save battery life you can turn it off and on to use. It is good for kids who are supervised. It is dangerous and illegal in some metropolitan areas and also requires frequent air.
It is a lot of fun though if you weigh under 120 and are an adult and a lot of fun for a kid. I would recommend head gear and knee pads however because at 10mph you can get injured if you fall off. Always wear over the ankle shoes because the sides of the Razor are sharp and you can bang you're ankle against it. It is best ridden in parks for recreation. It didn't work quite as well for my purpose of shopping unless I didn't want to carry house keys and a bottle of water. It also helps the environment as it uses no gas.
It is a lot of fun but be careful.

Is it safe to drive 19 hours to Florida?

We are going on a last minute vacation so we are driving and I'm taking my wife and kids on a long road trip. Is it safe and any advice?
Answer
children are only the horror their parents make them into. for the 16th time in my 8yr old's life, we are about to embark on a 20 hour train ride to moscow, a flight to houston, then a 3 hr drive home. for my son, it is simply life. he will climb the deays like a monkey in the train, sit like a gentleman in the plane and dern-well would drive the rented car if i let him. sensibly. so if you know your children, that should be no problem. speak calmly to your children as you have always done. tell them how beautiful thw USA is and they can SEE it as they drive. INTERACT with them- ask them to look for something unusual (i used to notice some electric transmission towers were ballerina style, standing on a single toe rather than the linebackers we had near home, broad, stocky-legged and tall. also, highways and trains run parallel some places. find on your maps (sorry, i still use real maps and assume EVERYBODY has a map) which stretches have railroads and announce to the troops to be on the lookout for trains. if your children like trains... TRY to unplug the evectronics (ganes, dvds, notebooks, ipadpodphone) and engsge each other. don't go to war over it! if gaming is life, let 'em live. try to find towns and cities with interesting things for you AND the children. i suppose each has a digital camera. like paris, texas has an eiffel tower with a cowboy hat on top!
safe- of course, drive 5 mph under the limit, you are not running a railroad (plagarism- no source quoted!!) you are on vacation. have required child seats and boosters WEAR SEAT BELTS (AS AN EXAMPLE TO THE LITTLE ONES) everyone will want a restroom break, expect to stop endlessly. pepsi break, water break- keep drinks in the cabin to let everyone drink. dehydration can cause headaches9 not good on a trip.
ASK everyone what they would like to see. google for places and try to fit in stops in several places.ENJOY the trip. when stopping, if in a safe place, toss a frisbee or football, etc. some small towns have municipal parks ideally located a block or two from the highway.
