We would like to get an electric scooter for our 10yo and are looking for advice and recommendations.

 

He wont need massive distance, it wont need to be fast charging, but I do want it to handle Auckland hills and i would like it to be not too heavy for him.  He'll just potter around on it with his friends.

 

We have seen a few that might cut the mustard, any comments or alternatives?

One of my worries is hills, it isn't that flat where we live so I want to make sure it can handle them.

 

The prices range is probably up to $900 but if there are decent options cheaper that would be helpful.

Something that would help is: what degrees of incline should I be looking to have it handle?  I don't have any idea about this stuff.
