About ScooterMatch
Who runs this site
ScooterMatch is published by Glen, who runs a small portfolio of independent reference sites that help people choose products by working through the numbers first. This site is one of them. It is independent: no scooter manufacturer or retailer owns it, writes its pages or pays for its picks.
Why it exists
ScooterMatch starts with the rider. A 12 year old heading to the skatepark, a 250 lb commuter with a hill at the end of the street and a 3 year old on their first scooter need three completely different things, and most scooter advice treats them as one shopper.
So every page starts from who is riding: age, height, weight, distance, hills and budget. The rider match calculator turns those into a battery size, a motor size and a weight rating, then shows scooters whose own listings clear all three. Kids pages go age by age. Skatepark riders get bar height by height. And every rider gets a helmet: sized by age, certified for how they ride.
How pages are researched
This is a research site, not a testing lab. We do not ride, assemble or test products in person, and no page says we did. Specifications come from each Amazon listing. Real-world range and hill speed come from published physics (rolling resistance, air drag and climbing power), not from box claims. Sizing follows published conventions such as CDC growth charts, and helmet advice follows the certification standards. The full process is on How we research, and the rules we apply when choosing products are on How we pick.
How the site makes money
ScooterMatch is funded by Amazon Associates commissions: when you buy through our product links we earn a small percentage, and the price you pay does not change. We also sell a few paid planning kits on the site. A commission never decides a pick; a scooter that does not fit the rider does not get recommended, however well it pays.

Contact and corrections
If a spec has changed, a link is dead or you think a page gets something wrong, use the contact form. Corrections are made on the page and the "Last updated" date at the top of the page is changed when the content changes. Brands can reach us through Partner with us.
This page is researched guidance, not professional, legal or medical advice. Specifications come from each product listing and can change; confirm on the listing before you buy.
