Mr Z was so excited to get his new Yvolution Y Fliker kids scooter. We have had other scooters in the past but the Yvolution scooters immediately look different with their distinctive Y shape and he was really keen to have a go.
Mr Z’s Yvolution Y Fliker is from the air series which is recommended for age 5+. Mr Z is 5 years old and the scooter is the perfect size for him so I would say the recommended ages definitely match up.
With a Y Fliker scooter, the child doesn’t have to kick the pavement – instead they move their hips from side to side and then use their own body force to keep the scooter propelling. Mr Z loves how quickly he can go on it, and he is always calling me to watch the great moves he has made up with his new scooter – twisting and turning as fast as he can.
It did not take him long at all to get the hang of the Yvolution Y Fliker, within a few minutes he had got the idea and was really enjoying the scooter. He seems to get a lot more fun out of it than from a conventional scooter, although he enjoys those too this will keep him entertained for far longer. We have a patio section in our back garden which has a fair amount of space for riding so he has been out playing with the scooter most days but it’s even more fun when out in the park or a wide open space with more room to ride.
The scooter folds up easily and then takes up very little space, so we can easily fit it in the car boot for days out.
I would definitely recommend a Yvolution Y Fliker scooter for parents looking for a great toy to keep kids active over the summer. I’ve been so pleased to see how much Mr Z loves his and I can see it will definitely continue to get a lot more use. As he hadn’t tried one of these before, I did wonder whether it would be difficult for him to get to grips with the technique but it hasn’t been at all.
The Yvolution scooter is really solid and well made, you can tell it is good quality and not at all flimsy. Hopefully it will last well and once Mr Z grows out of it, I can pass it down to his little brothers. There are more advanced versions of the Yvolution Y fliker scooters available for age 7+ so Mr Z might move up to that in a couple of years.
The Yvolution Y Fliker is great exercise and loads of fun! Take a look at this video to see the Yvolution Y Fliker in action:
The Yvolution scooters can be bought from Toys R Us or on the Yvolution website. The Y Fliker A1 scooter which Mr Z has is priced at £74.99 which I would say is good value for the amount of use that a child can get out of it.

We’ve seen children in the park on these and they look fantastic. I know my 5 year old would love one. I didn’t really know much about them before, but it’s good to know they’re 5+, so he’s just the right age to get the most out of it 🙂
Great for the core skills this scooter
These looks amazing, i want one for myself haha! x
I’ve not seen a scooter like that before. It looks great, my son would love it.
This looks like so much fun- do they do them in grown up sizes?! x
This looks great fun, and we haven’t tried one but I like it as something different from the normal scooters.
This looks like great fun! My son would love it.
This looks so different to normal scooters! Jack’s too young for this right now but I can definitely see us getting something like it in the future
This looks like great fun. I have never seen a two footed scooter before x
My friend’s daughter has one of these – looks like great fun and great for kids that haven’t quite got their balance!
I do love the look of these and think E would have a great time on one. I think they are great for the park etc. but it does frustrate me that there are a few children that take them to school and they can barely get past on the pavement without bumping into someone! Definitely fun where there is lots of space!
We have seen a few of the kids on these but never tried one – is good to read a review.
I’ve seen these around and am waiting for my son to tell me he wants one!
Wow it looks they go really fast from the video! What a great idea, it is good that it didn’t take him long to master the Y Fliker and that it is easy to fold down and keep in the car. I’m sure it won’t be long before my little one is asking for one of these 🙂
These look like so much fun! I hope my son gets into scooters one day. He’s so cautious and won’t go on anything, I think if only he’d have a go! Be great to take to the park.
Mine were actually all quite cautious with regular scooter initially, and it took them a while to get used to them but with this one Mr Z got used to it a lot quicker than with the normal ones!
I’ve not seen this type of scooter before. Sounds like fun. I think my kids would love it.
This looks great – my 7 yr old is desperate for one of these!!
First time I have seen this sounds like a good toy. expensive though.
they are amazing! when mr k is bigger, we will get him this!
My son has one and always on it. My daughter turns 7 in July too and already decided that she wants one too
Now that looks like a fun scooter 🙂 x
Looks cool!
My son wants one of these so may be added to his birthday list
My eldest keeps saying he wants one, we’ll have to get saving for his birthday x
during the summer in our small village there are loads of kids who play n these and i always find it amusing how they work them, av tried but am terrible lol, x look fun though x
wow I’ve never seen scooters like this before! Looks like a lot of fun!
6yo saw these on TV the other day and wants one
Is it wrong that I want one for me?
We have the Y-Glider and LP loves it. This looks fantastic for when she’s older! Love the colour too! x
My two love their flickrs although they play on them less now that they’re into their bikes again x x
These look great, I’m regularly getting run over by one on the way to school!
