What age is the Banwood Eco Scooter suitable for?
The Banwood Eco Scooter is suitable for children from age 3 and older. The T-handlebar adjusts to three heights: 70cm, 75cm, and 80cm, accommodating a wide range of heights within the age range. The maximum rider weight is 50kg. The Easy Ride Steering System, which allows turning by shifting body weight, suits younger riders who are still developing balance and coordination.
What is the Banwood Eco Scooter made from?
The Banwood Eco Scooter is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. The material is sourced from plastic bottles, carrier bags, cups, and fishing nets recovered from post-consumer waste. The recycled plastic deck and body replaces virgin plastic throughout the structural parts of the scooter, making it a meaningful use of the recycled material rather than a cosmetic claim. The scooter retains the Banwood finish and colour range.
What are the dimensions of the Banwood Eco Scooter?
The Banwood Eco Scooter deck measures 29.3cm by 10cm and the T-handlebar adjusts to 70cm, 75cm, or 80cm height. The scooter weighs 2.54kg, making it light enough for young children to handle and carry when not riding. The compact size and low deck height suit riders from age 3 who are still developing confidence on three wheels.
Does the Banwood Eco Scooter have a brake?
Yes. The Banwood Eco Scooter has a rear foot brake. The rider presses down on the rear fender with their foot to slow and stop. This type of brake requires no hand strength or coordination to use, which makes it well suited to younger riders from age 3. The rear foot brake is the sole braking mechanism: there is no hand brake on this model.
How does the Easy Ride Steering System work on the Banwood Eco Scooter?
The Banwood Easy Ride Steering System allows riders to turn by shifting their body weight rather than physically rotating the handlebar. When the rider leans to one side, the deck tilts and the scooter steers in that direction. This weight-based turning is easier for young children to learn and more intuitive than handlebar-based steering on a two-wheel scooter. The system is built into all Banwood 3-wheel scooter models.
