Frequently asked questions
What are triscooters?
Well, that's a good question! Triscooters are three wheeled play scooters for children. They are just like traditional two wheeled scooters, with an extra wheel at the back, giving them three wheels in all.
Why do triscooters have three wheels?
Triscooters are intended for use by younger children, so greater stability is needed.
What does the third wheel of a tri scooter do?
The double wheel at the back means the scooter won't tip over easily, so the young child doesn't have to balance, making it easier to go.
What is a two wheeled scooter called then?
A two wheeled scooter can be called an in line scooter, the two wheels being line with each other.
Can a child progress easily from a triscooter to an ordinary in line two wheeled scooter?
Learning to ride the tri-scooter makes it very easy for the young child to graduate to a two wheeled scooter. They have learned to stand on it, steer it and make it go along, so all they have to do is learn to balance on the two wheels and they are off!
