This summer, before you reach for your car keys, ask yourself: Can we ride there instead?
Almost any trip can become a mini adventure when you scoot instead of drive. Here are some of our favorite summer scooter destinations:

🚦 The Library – Heading to story time or finally returning that stack of Pete the Cat books? Swap the car for a scooter ride and sneak in a little exercise along the way.

🌳 The Park – Pack up a wagon with lunch, sunscreen, and sand toys, then make it a “you walk, I scoot” kind of day. And if your little rider tires out, just fold up their scooter and toss it (and them!) into the wagon — workout complete.

🏫 The School Yard – School might be out, but the fun’s just getting started. Blacktops make for perfect scooter races, and there’s always a bench and water fountain nearby for snack breaks and cool-downs.

🛹 The Skate Park – Scoot your way to a session with friends. It’s a great warm-up and a perfect way to get in the zone before landing those sweet tricks.

🍦 The Ice Cream Shop – Nothing says summer like ice cream. Scoot there, enjoy a double scoop, then burn it off on the ride home. Win-win!

🐾 The Animal Shelter – Head over for some puppy love or kitty cuddles. Your foldable Mashed Up Scooter fits easily in your backpack — adventure-ready!

⚽ Sports Practice – Summer sports never stop. Make the trip to practice more fun (and less of a hassle) by riding there together.

📚 The Bookstore – Cool off in the A/C, browse the latest reads, and maybe grab a treat from the in-store café. It’s a perfect summer stop — and a perfect excuse to ride.

🌿 The Nature Centre – Cruise to your local nature trail or botanical garden. The ride there is half the joy — breathe deep, feel the breeze, and soak in the green.

🏡 Around the Block – Turn a regular after-dinner stroll into a scooting scavenger hunt or a game of “I Spy on Wheels.”

Scooting instead of driving turns everyday errands into exciting adventures. You get fresh air, a little movement, and a whole lot of memories — because let’s be honest, no one looks back fondly on a car ride.

So this summer, skip the car. Grab your Mashed Up Scooter, and let the good times roll. 🛴☀️

It’s healthy!

Being outdoors is great for your physical and mental health, and riding a scooter is the perfect form of exercise for people of all sizes.

A recent study by the University of Brighton found that scooting for 30 minutes at 4.6mph would burn around 150 calories!

Riding a scooter helps to develop skills

As well as being tons of fun, riding a scooter helps children build confidence, coordination skills and balance.

Spending time together

Scooters are fun and easy to ride for those of all ages, making it a great way to spend time together as a family.

It’s good for the environment

Switching your car for a scooter on short journeys to the shops, or your commute to work will let you do your part in helping the environment.

Portability

With a wide variety of fold-up scooters available, you won’t have to worry about finding a parking space. Just fold your scooter up and take it right into the office!

And if scooters are your thing, then take a look at the wide range of scooters we have available.

In this guide, we’ll be walking you through each of our ranges, so you know what type of scooter to buy your son or daughter this Christmas.

Stunt Scooters

Just starting out? Our stunt scooters are probably the best ones to opt-in for.

Give your little daredevils a chance to find their feet, balance and style with one of our stunt scooters, perfect to learn on and to start practising some cool tricks on!

And for as little as £39.90 (as it currently stands) these are an absolute bargain for the quality you get!

Dirt Scooters

Ok, so your child has mastered stunt scooters, they’re frequently at skate parks putting in hours of practice to learn tricks and they’re ready for the X Games!

Not so fast! Why not take your skills to the next level and learn how to ride on dirt?

With our dirt scooters, you can take your scooter almost anywhere, no matter what the terrain and still see the scooter ride to its full potential.

So if you live near a forest or park or even a dirt trail, consider taking your scooter off-road with our fantastic range of dirt scooters.

Folding Scooters

If your son or daughter has started competing then more than likely you’ll be visiting skate parks up and down the country and possibly abroad to enter the best competitions around!

Taking a scooter that doesn’t fold and one that isn’t compact can be a bit of a nightmare.

Hence why we offer fully adjustable kick scooters, easily foldable, lightweight yet strong and durable. These scooters can take all the punishment you give to it and continue to perform again and again.

So if this sounds like your child, consider a foldable scooter for ease of use and transportation.

Electric Scooters

Maybe you’re looking for a scooter for yourself and the thought of riding around on a stunt scooter or a dirt scooter seems, well, childish?

And that’s ok! Our stunt and dirt scooters were made specifically for a certain type of demographic.

Whereas our electric scooters are made for everybody.

We have a wide range of electric scooters to choose from, all of which are lightweight, easy to transport and are smart enough that it won’t look like you’re riding a child’s scooter (just incase you may be worried about that).

We wanted to take a look at some of the best skate parks in the UK for you to try out.

And we get it, we know that if you’re living in Cornwall that a skate park in Scotland probably isn’t going to cut it for you!

That’s why we’ve tried our best to give you the best skate parks to visit up and down the country, wherever you are.

London Southbank

Arguably one of the most well-known skate parks in the UK and situated right next to the River Thames, it’s pretty much smack, bang in the middle of London.

Southbank itself is a tourist hotspot, so if you wanted to showcase some of your moves to the general public, Southbank is the place to go.

Not only that but being so iconic and well-known, there’s always a bunch of skaters making the most out of the stairs, the railing and benches to land their tricks.

Concrete Waves, Newquay Cornwall

From the city to the seaside, Concrete Waves is next on our list and it looks awesome!

If the sea and sand life isn’t for you and you want to go skating, we’d definitely take a look at Concrete Waves in Newquay.

Recently refurbished and transformed from Wooden Waves to Concrete Waves, some high profile skaters do often skate there and it’s a great place to try out new tricks, meet fellow skaters or just go for the atmosphere!

The House, Sheffield

One of the more older skate parks on this list having been around for years, it’s much-loved by skaters due to its competitive rates, friendly atmosphere and even boasts a beginner section for those learning how to get to grips with their scooters or skateboards.

The friendly staff can help you with your tricks, being knowledgeable too and there to give you the best time to enjoy skating!

Kaos Skatepark, Glasgow

Kaos skatepark is massive! And it’s a busy place for many skaters. But don’t worry, it’s that big that you’ll find plenty of room to skate and to test out your skills on your scooter.

It looks more like an art installation than a skate park, but it’s large, fun and a great place to hang out and watch some of the best skaters perform their tricks.

Did we mention it’s the largest indoor concrete skatepark in Europe? That alone, should be enough for you to want to go and check it out!

Projekts MCR, Manchester

A lot of great things have come out of Manchester, music, sport and television. 

So it should come as no surprise that Manchester has one of the best skateparks in the UK in Projekts MCR and we think it’s one of the ultimate skateparks in the UK.

Not only does it have everything you need but it even goes one step further and offers coaching sessions to help you get better at skating and learning how to get the most out of your scooter.

It’s not just dirt scooters, stunt scooters and electric scooters for kids, here at Mashed Up Scooters we also have electric scooters for adults.

These can be great if you live in a city centre and want a quick, cheap and environmentally-friendly way to get around town.

In this article, we’ll be looking at all the benefits of electric scooters for adults and why you should consider buying one.

We’ll be looking at:

• How much are electric scooters for adults?
• Can I get financing for my electric scooter?
• Which is the best electric scooter for adults?

How much are electric scooters for adults?

It really depends on the type of electric scooter you’re looking for.

As a rough guide, Mashed Up Scooters can range anywhere between £299 to just £39.90. Going from a top of the range model to a basic electric scooter.

It really depends on how you’re going to use it. 

If you like to generally explore, go a bit further afield than you would do when walking, then maybe a less-expensive electric scooter might be the better option.

However, if you feel as though you’re going to get a lot of use out of your new electric scooter, maybe you want to consider a more top of the range one.

Can I get financing for my electric scooter?

We know that most of our electric scooters can be quite an expensive up-front purchase and that’s why we offer financing on most of our scooters.

So once you’ve found the right electric scooter for you, during the checkout process, make sure you choose the financing option available button to begin the application.

We’ve tried to make the application as quick and as easy as possible and should only take you 5 minutes to complete before you receive an instant decision for your financing application.

From there you’ll be able to review your financing payment plan and all the details of when the scooter will arrive and when the first payment will be due.

Which is the best electric scooter for adults?

Simply take a look at our wide range of electric scooters to find the best electric scooter for you.

As we previously mentioned, the best electric scooter for you is the one that works with your lifestyle.

Perhaps you want to be more environmentally-friendly in how you get around town, rather than spending a lot of money on a car and polluting the world with petrol and or diesel.

Or maybe you have a health condition where you aren’t able to walk to work or cycle to work or even around town.

An electric scooter would be a great option for you as they’re fully electric and take little work to ride them.

So it really is best to consider your current situation and what you need the scooter for.
