Madd Gear MG2 Obsidian is a scooter that allows your child to quickly enter the world of tricks. It's light, stable, and predictable to ride, which makes a huge difference at first. This means learning doesn't end in frustration, but rather leads to further attempts and progression.
It's perfect for the neighborhood, the skatepark, and anywhere else you're just starting out. It's a good choice for beginners when control and confidence are key.
How to choose a scooter for a child?
The simplest rule is that the handlebars should reach around the hips. A scooter that's too high makes it difficult to control, while one that's too low quickly tires you out and limits your movements.
The MG2 Obsidian model is 75 cm high, making it a good fit for younger riders just starting out.
