When I was young, I had a bicycle; skip-its; hoola-hoops; played sports; did a paper route.
Why do parents let their kids have motorized scooters and sit on the computer all day, nowadays?
More exercise when they’re young means a more lively lifestyle in the future.

I’m not planning on it for my kids. I bought my daughter a tricycle.
What, do you hate America? We are the most advanced nation on Earth, and we should show it by having machines do everything for us; including our walking.
I agree they should get exercise. I dont see anything wrong with a motorized scooter for fun, but you can encourage them to do other activities. Like sports, or hiking. I think it all comes down to lazy parents, if all the parents want to do is put their child in front of a tv or computer then thats what the child will learn! Parents just need to be active with their kids.
I’m buying my son a motorized truck for his birthday. He runs around all day long so exercise is not a problem for him. I’ve never met a young child who DIDNT run around and play. Its fun buying your kids things u know will make them happy.
