We recommend that the total height of your scooter is between your hip and the base of your chest (please see illustration below). Transport scooters can be adjusted in height, and it is important that the scooter has one setting in the interval specified in the guide below.
Note this table is for guidance only.

*Smaller children have difficulty handling heavier scooters. Therefore, we recommend a max-weight of the scooter itself, for the smallest users between 2′ 9"-4′ 1" (about 2-6 years old).
The height of your scooter can have a big impact on user satisfaction. With a scooter at the right height, it is comfortable and relaxing to use. The user stands in a natural position with slightly bent arms. Above you will find a size guide that helps you find the right height for your transport scooter in relation to your personal height.

Recommended Height:
We recommend that the total height of the scooter (from the ground to the top of the handlebar) be between the
user's hip and the bottom of their chest.
Please see our illustration for a visual example:
Adjustable Scooters:
Most commuter scooters and kids' scooters have adjustable handlebar height.
Under the specifications of each product, you can see both the minimum and maximum height settings, allowing you to
easily determine whether the scooter fits your child - or multiple users in the family.
This allows the scooter to grow with the rider and ensures optimal use over time.
Especially for Younger Children (2 - 6 years):
Younger children often prefer lighter scooters - e.g., made from aluminum or plastic.
This information is also available under the product's specifications.
“Broomstick Method” - Find the Right Height:
A simple and effective method to find the perfect height is the “broomstick method”:
Hold a broomstick horizontally in the air in front of you.
Place it at the height where you'd like the handlebar (typically around hip height - but it depends on personal
preference).
Measure the distance from the broomstick to the floor.
Add approx. 5 cm - as you are raised off the ground when standing on the scooter itself.
Example:
If you measure 70 cm from the broomstick to the floor, add 5 cm - 75 cm is the optimal total height
of the scooter.
Important to Know:
Commuter and kids' scooters are designed with adjustable height because they are not subjected to the
same stress as stunt scooters.
Stunt scooters, on the other hand, must be 100% fixed and therefore cannot be adjusted in height.
