What age is the Banwood Eco Scooter suitable for?
The Banwood Eco Scooter is suitable for children from age 3 and above. The T-bar handlebar adjusts to three heights: 70cm, 75cm, and 80cm, covering most children through the early primary school years without needing to be replaced. The maximum rider weight is 50kg. The patented Easy Ride Steering System is built into the scooter, allowing children to steer by shifting their weight rather than manually turning the handlebar, which makes learning to ride and steer more intuitive from the first session.
What is the Banwood Eco Scooter made from?
The Banwood Eco Scooter deck, frame, and T-bar are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. The materials are sourced from post-consumer waste including plastic bottles, bags, cups, and fishing nets. The use of recycled plastic reduces reliance on virgin materials without affecting the structural performance or safety of the scooter. The Eco Scooter carries CE marking and meets EN 71 safety standards.
What are the dimensions of the Banwood Eco Scooter?
The Banwood Eco Scooter deck measures 29.3cm by 10cm, giving small feet a stable standing platform without making the scooter cumbersome to manage. The complete scooter weighs 2.54kg, light enough for children to carry and for parents to transport. The T-bar handlebar adjusts to 70cm, 75cm, or 80cm to match the child's height. The three-wheel configuration provides stability without the wobble of a two-wheel scooter.
Does the Banwood Eco Scooter have a brake?
The Banwood Eco Scooter uses a rear foot brake. To slow or stop, the rider presses down on the rear fender with their foot. There is no hand brake on the Eco Scooter. The rear foot brake is a simple, intuitive stopping mechanism well suited to young riders who are still developing hand strength and coordination. It is the same braking system used across the Banwood 3-wheel scooter range.
How does the Easy Ride Steering System work on the Banwood Eco Scooter?
The Banwood Easy Ride Steering System is a patented mechanism that allows children to steer by shifting their weight rather than physically rotating the handlebar. When the rider leans in the direction they want to turn, the deck tilts and the scooter follows. This mirrors the natural movement children use when walking or running and means new riders develop steering instincts quickly. The Easy Ride Steering System is built into all Banwood 3-wheel scooters, including the Eco Scooter and Vintage 3-Wheel Scooter.
