Mobility Scooter for Kids
It's not really a mobility scooter: it's the Ringbo Riding Robot.
Demonstrated at the Koreannovation show in New York last week.
The riding robot is aimed it 2-3 year olds. It takes 6-8 hours to charge and then runs for 1 hour.
Just what our kids need to avoid that terribly old-fashioned practice of walking.

Ah, it's a toy. It only runs for an hour. I don't think it's a big threat.
ReplyIf anything, it'll give kids practice driving around the Super Walmart in the motorized shopping carts. I've been run into more times than I can count by people who can't drive one to save their lives...maybe if we start 'em early, they'll be pros by the time they're able to shop.
ReplyI prefer the old fashion cozy coupe.
ReplyI always wanted one of those battery operated mini cars that you could buy from the Sears Catalogue and drive around in. Power Wheels?
Anyway, my point is, it's nothing really new.
ReplyIf it's for a child as small as the one pictured, I highly doubt the kids will have the attention span to decide to use it as primary transportation.
ReplyDoes it do vacuuming or mow the lawn?
ReplyMy husband's parents bought him a riding mower when he was 8 so he could mow the lawn...he LOVED it. It turned out to be a much better investment than a Power Wheels.
ReplyThe Green Machine and Big Wheel are the best toys for kids ever....I just wish they made them in adult sizes.
Replylol... I'd love to bomb around the city in one - tassels and all! As a kid, I just wish they had made the wheels with better traction... I can remember peddaling a mile a minute and not going anywhere.
ReplyI LOVED my Big Wheel!!! Those things were awesome. Of course, the construction was a little on the cheap side. I remember going through about 2 or 3 of them because I liked to ride mine really fast and plow the front wheel into the house, which sort of squashed the wheels.
I remember begging my parents for a Power Wheels until I went over to my friend's house (she had the Barbie jeep one) and I got to ride it for a while. I was incredibly bored because you didn't have to pedal or DO anything. So I asked my parents for a bike instead (and they happily bought one for me). There's no way I'd get my kid something like this...it just promotes total laziness.
ReplyNo sooner had I finished commenting on another blog about how great it is that nintendo are creating games that make people move... and this thing turns up!
ReplyThis post is a total overreaction to the toy. It's just another riding toy. It's pretty awesome, actually.
ReplyI think it would be great to see a whole family riding down the street on mobility scooters.
ReplyDefinitely just a toy, but hopefully this is not a trend where it does take away from a child's daily exercise.
Replyths looks like great fun
