how young is to young? OT

Nate has been wanting one of them motorized scooters… he said he wanted one for his 9th birthday I was like oh he!! No…. first of all they are like 500 bucks… second of all he don’t need motorized….
Today I went to Toys R Us to get some ideas and they had motor scooters that said 8 and up and they only went like 8mph that’s slower then he rides his bike! They have 3 wheels instead of only 2 so I started to think if maybe this one would be safe enough for him but I still don’t know if I can allow my still a baby on something that runs without foot power lol.. What do yall think?

For example- Rina broke her arm in two places while scurrying from one room into another and tripping over someone's foot. Ramey broke his arm on a foot-powered scooter. Personally, I've broken my left leg three times.
I think the 8mph hour one sounds relatively safer than the ones that go 15mph, and if I had the money I'd probably let Ramey have one (he's 9 too). I do make Ramey and Rina wear a helmet when they skate, roller blade, or use the scooter, so that would be a suggestion I'd have. Other than that, say lots of prayers and keep your dr's number on speed dial :-)
My son is 12 and has been bugging me for the same thing.

What a tough one.
