Everything’s more fun on wheels! Here are three rideable gifts that are sure to please this holiday season.
Y Fliker
Part skateboard, part roller blades, part scooter, the Yvolution Y Fliker is a cool way to glide and pop a wheelie.
The newest addition to the Y Fliker line, the LIFT is a 3-wheeled scooter you can propel forward by wiggling your hips. The LIFT also allows you to tilt back and glide, thanks to an extra pair of support wheels. It’s available in a variety of sizes, so you can get the right one for your child – or, if it’s too tempting to resist, for yourself. With a little practice, you and your son or daughter will be popping wheelies in no time.
Mobo Mega Mini
Want to introduce your young child to the world of riding without breaking out the training wheels? This three-wheeled cruiser may be just what you’re seeking.
Mobo’s Mega Mini is a great option for kids age 2 to 5. Plus, the Mobo Mega Mini is adjustable, so unlike a tricycle, it can grow with your child and last for several years.
Or, if you’re little one is a cartoon lover, Mobo also has a line of Disney-themed cruisers featuring characters from Cars and Planes – and, starting this Christmas, “Frozen.”
Maverix Electronic Skateboard
What’s the only thing better than a skateboard? How about an electronic skateboard with a belt-driven motor and a handheld wireless remote? Yeah, that just may trump it.
The Maverix line of electronic skateboards, which can go up to 10 miles on a single charge, come in a variety of sizes and feature anti-lock breaks to help slow riders down without kicking them to the curb. Their smallest model, the California, is an ideal gift for kids ages 9 through 16.
Marc Shinderman, CEO of Maverix, says that the skateboards have found a home just not amongst youths, but with their parents, too.
“We’re finding that it’s not just young adults, or kids and teens that want to ride them, but also adults,” says Shinderman.
