How fast does the JOYSTAR Starmoto go?

The 250W motor tops out at 13.6 mph. That is quick for a kids' scooter, so younger riders should start on flat, open pavement.

How far can it go on a charge?

JOYSTAR rates the range at up to 8 miles. Expect less with a heavier rider, hills or repeated full-throttle use.

JOYSTAR lists it for ages 6 to 12. The 220 lb frame limit means it also fits older or heavier kids within that weight.

How do you control the speed?

It uses a thumb throttle rather than a twist grip, which is easier for small hands to hold at a steady speed.

How much assembly does it need?

JOYSTAR describes assembly as easy, typically attaching the handlebar and checking the brakes and tire pressure before the first ride.

Is it good for a first electric scooter?

Yes, if the rider is comfortable on a kick scooter. The 12-inch wheels add stability, but the 13.6 mph top speed calls for a helmet and supervision at first.

Our take on the JOYSTAR Starmoto 12" Electric Scooter

The JOYSTAR Starmoto is a kids' electric scooter with a 250W motor, a 13.6 mph top speed and up to 8 miles of range. It uses large 12-inch wheels, a thumb throttle and an all-metal frame rated to 220 lbs. It suits riders roughly 6 to 12 who want a powered step up from a kick scooter. Against smaller-wheeled kids' scooters it rides more stably over bumps, but its range and speed are modest next to adult-style models.
