Straight answers on sizing, safety and the law — the same advice we give across the counter in Cookstown.
Buying guides
Short, honest and written by people who fix these for a living.
Kids ride size guide — age, height and confidence
Age is only the starting point. Check the rider height and weight limits on each product (the Novi M1 suits 20–50kg; the X1 goes up to 120kg so it grows with them), then match the speed to their confidence — capped modes for beginners, more pace once they’ve earned it. If they’re between sizes, size for control, not growth.
Electric scooter buying guide
For kids: start with capped speed modes (the M1 does 3/6/9mph), a low deck and a light frame. For teens and adults: look at range, tyre size, brakes and whether it folds. All privately owned e-scooters are for private land with the landowner’s permission — that’s the law, and we label every product accordingly.
Electric bike & motorbike buying guide
Kids’ e-bikes and mini motorbikes (K1, K2, M5) are private-land rides with capped speeds and adult supervision recommended. Road-legal EAPC e-bikes (like the K3 when ridden pedal-assist) must be 250W max, assist only to 15.5mph, and riders must be 14+. Faster machines like the Z8 are private-land only.
Hoverboard buying guide
6.5″ boards suit smooth ground and younger riders; 8.5″ all-terrain boards handle grass and gravel. Most families buy the bundle with the hoverkart seat — kids swap between standing and karting. Always pair with a helmet.
Battery care guide
Charge with the supplied charger only, indoors, away from bedrooms, and unplug once full. Don’t charge straight after a cold ride — let the battery come to room temperature. Store half-charged if unused for weeks. If a battery is swollen, damaged or smells — stop using it and call us.
Delivery, warranty & returns
Tracked UK-wide delivery on every order, with collection from the Cookstown shop if you’re local. Everything carries a 1 year guarantee and 30 day returns. If anything goes wrong, our own workshop fixes it — you’re never posting things to a faceless warehouse.
The law, in plain English
No small print — just what parents need to know.
Privately owned electric scooters are not legal to ride in public — that includes roads, pavements, cycle lanes and parks. They can be used on private land with the landowner’s permission. We recommend a helmet and adult supervision for young riders, every ride. Source: GOV.UK
A road-legal EAPC e-bike must have a motor of 250W or less, assist only up to 15.5mph, and the rider must be 14 or older. Anything faster or more powerful — including kids’ electric motorbikes — is for private land only. Source: nidirect
