Push Scooters and Antique Push Scooters Online

Push scooters were created in the early 1900s and became a very popular way for kids to travel around on the sidewalk or on paved areas.

Some children assembled push scooters on their own by combining small wheels, old wooden boards, and old handles, while other children bought preassembled push scooters for use.  Push scooters, both the manufactured varieties and the antique push scooters that can be found online, still prove popular.  Today however, they are popular for children and adults alike.

About Push Scooters

Today, push scooters are sometimes called kick scooters.  The scooters manufactured today have light frames made of durable metal.  The frames have wheels and ball bearings.  Some scooters come with chrome fenders, decals, seats that can be adjusted, reflectors for nighttime riding, and rubber wheels.  A person using a push scooter will place one foot on the board of the push scooter and use the other foot to push off the board and get it going.  There is no motor that operates a push scooter so this proves to be an ideal form of exercise for adults and children alike.
