The Voyager Night Rider electric scooter is one of their best scooters designed for kids and teenagers. 

This article will provide a detailed Voyager Night Rider foldable electric scooter review, with its pros and cons, features and benefits, and an alternative to this electric scooter.

Pros: 

• It has a strong build with steel material.
• On a single charge, the battery offers a range of six miles.
• It features a powerful brushless hub motor.               
• It is suitable for children as young as 6 to 12.
• The LED lights offer better visibility at night.
• It has a compact and lightweight design.

Cons:

• It has an outside cable that is prone to breaking.
• It does not have much inclination capacity.

What To Look For In An Electric Scooter

• Design: An electric scooter for kids and teenagers, the design should be attractive and simple. It should have a folding mechanism, and the system should be quick and easy. Having all the controls at the handlebar would also be preferable. 
• Weight: An electric scooter for kids and teenagers should not weigh more than 20 lbs. The lower the weight, the better, as it will be easier to handle whilst driving and also easier to carry. However, less weight tends to mean less durability. Apart from the scooter’s weight, it is important to consider the load capacity of the electric scooter. This usually ranges between 100 to 160 lbs.
• Battery: For an electric scooter, the preferable battery type is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. An electric scooter for kids and teenagers should have at least 24-volt batteries.
• Motor Power: An electric scooter should have a minimum of 250 watts of motor power. Anything less than that, and the scooter will struggle even on slightly inclined roads.
• Speed: Some electric scooters can reach up to a maximum speed of 30-40 mph. However, it is not ideal for an electric scooter for kids to have such high speed. A children’s scooter should run somewhere between 5-10 mph for safety purposes.
• Safety: Safety is of high importance in a kids’ electric scooter. Having good quality brakes and skid-resistant tires is a must. The lighting of an electric scooter also enhances safety while riding at night.
• Price: An electric scooter for kids and teenagers can range somewhere between $100 to $300. The price factor varies with the addition of features.

Features And Benefits: Voyager Night Rider 

Design 

This electric scooter has a sleek and simple design. It comes with a quick and single-fold feature, which is great because the kids won’t have trouble understanding the folding mechanism—the electric scooter folds and locks, making it easier to store and carry around. 

This electric scooter has a black color with orange hints. This color combination is pleasing to look at and will grab the attention of kids and teenagers. The handlebar of the electric scooter is adjustable. It allows the kids to lower or raise the height of the handlebar as per their comfort. 

This electric scooter also has a kickstand that allows the kids to park it between rides without needing a proper place for parking.

Lightweight 

The Voyager Night Rider electric scooter has a lightweight design despite using steel material in its frame. It weighs 18 lbs which is great for riders who are younger, i.e. 6 to 12 years. Kids that young will have trouble carrying a heavyweight scooter. Having a lightweight design, kids won’t need any help from a parent to carry the electric scooter inside a home after a fun ride.

This electric scooter can comfortably support a weight capacity of 155 lbs. Since it is for kids and teenagers, the weight capacity is sufficient to ride comfortably without hindering performance.

Range 

The Voyager electric scooter features a 24-volt rechargeable battery. On a single charge of the battery, it can last up to a six miles range. This much range is sufficient for a child or teenager to have fun riding around their neighborhood without having to recharge until afterwards.

The battery takes about six hours to completely charge. After a ride, charge the electric scooter in the night and it will be ready for its next adventure in the morning.

Motor 

The Voyager Night Rider foldable electric scooter comes with a brushless 250-watt electric motor. This much power is sufficient for riding on flat surfaces comfortably. The high-power motor also allows a better inclination power and can climb over small hills with ease.

While the motor power is basic in the case of an electric scooter but, since it is for kids, it is manageable. Higher motor power would also result in increased cost.

Low Speed 

This electric scooter has a maximum speed of 7.5 mph. While this may seem low for an electric scooter in general, having a higher speed would be very dangerous for kids, especially if they are unattended. 

Having a low speed allows kids to safely ride the scooter while having fun. Riding at a lower speed also makes them less prone to accidents and getting hurt. Even younger kids can ride this electric scooter at a low speed without needing any supervision from their parents.

Safety

This electric scooter comes with hand brakes which are easy to apply in case of an emergency. The electric scooter is easy to step on, and the deck is wide enough for better foot support. The grip-resistant handlebars are comfortable to hold without the risk of slipping off while riding.

The tires of this electric scooter are skid-resistant and thus avoid slippage even on uneven surfaces. The LED lights make riding safer in low light or at night.

Alternatives to the Voyager Night Rider 

Gotrax GKS Electric Scooter 

The Gotrax GKS electric scooter would be an excellent alternative to the Voyager Night Rider foldable electric scooter for kids and teenagers in the 6-12 age range. The GKS offers a maximum speed of 7.5 miles, similar to the Night Rider. The GKS can reach up to four miles on a completely charged battery, while the Voyager Night Rider can reach up to six miles.

The Gotrax GKS has no external cable, making it easier to use for kids than the Voyager one. The motor power is where the main difference between these two lies. The GKS features a 150-watt motor, while the Voyager features a 250-watt motor. 

With better motor power, the Voyager Night Rider would be a better choice than Gotrax GKS electric scooter.

Another great electric scooter for kids within the age range of 6-12 years is the Urban Drift K1 electric scooter. It features a 120-watt electric motor that offers a low speed of 3.7 mph, which is less than the 7.5 mph of a Night Rider with a 250-watt motor.

The mileage of the Urban Drift is 4 miles which are less than the Voyager. The complete battery charge time is 2 hours in K1, while the Night Rider takes 6 hours.

One of the great things about Urban Drift K1 is that it has a no-cable design, which makes it more durable than the Voyager Night Rider foldable electric scooter. What is even better is the 10 lbs weight of the K1; it is more convenient to carry around than the Voyager.
