SECTOR GUIDE: WHEELED TOYS
RE:CREATION Re:creation has a brand in Razor that has a portfolio brimming full with accessories and tech- based products. The electric scooter category
has grown close to 70 per cent year-on-year and Re:creation is hoping that the S scooter will continue this trend. The S Scooter is built for
longevity and comfort and comes in a range of vibrant colours with a price of £34.99. Elsewhere, the firm is giving
bikers the chance to customise their rides with the Wheel Writer (£19.99). This device transforms a bike wheel into a real working speedometer; complete with 12
different pictures which scroll though as they pedal via super bright LEDs. Re:creation is backing the Wheel Writer with TV advertising and an in-store free standing display unit programme complete with working demo.
In addition, the company will soon be giving riders the chance to capture their greatest moments on two wheels with the new VideoHead helmet (£59.99). The helmet features a built-in
camera and four clickable lens positions so that kids aged eight and above can catch their favourite BMX, scooter or skateboard moments with the built-in memory. 0118 973 6222
Wheeled toys promote a healthy lifestyle for kids.
Katy Fletcher, Re:creation H GROSSMAN
Grossmans has a range of scooters set to get kids rolling this year. The Ozbozz range is designed for younger age
groups, with the My First Scooter model allowing riders to experience a wide range of options as it transforms from a four wheel, to a trike, to a two-wheeler. Grossmans also has a range of light-up and flashing scooters that come in a range of styles including Trail Twist, Cosmic Light and Lightning Strike. Elsewhere, fans of Mind Candy
brand Moshi Monsters can ride around in branded scooters available in a traditional two wheeled light-up format. New to the Moshi Monsters line-up is the Poppet range made
MV SPORTS
MV has a vast range of pre-school outdoor wheeled toy offerings. Its long-standing boys’ pre-school line is
led by Thomas the Tank Engine, with products including the Battery Operated Train & Track Set. The Fireman Sam range is boosted by a real working Fire Extinguisher tri-scooter and a broader range of products with innovative light and sound sirens. Meanwhile, continuing to make a splash in her ‘muddy puddles’ is Peppa Pig. The design is complemented by pink and purple colourways across trikes, bikes and scooters. Those looking for something for the older,
fashion conscious child, will also find it in the MV Sports’ portfolio. The firm’s ranges of 16- inch bikes are available across key

properties such as Transformers, Skylanders and Power Rangers. The firm also has the 6V Battery Operated Batmobile – which has proved to be very successful – while its range of One Direction products include bikes, scooters and skateboards. For the more adventurous child, MV’s Stunted scooters are suitable for beginner and experienced ‘Stunters’ alike. Leading the range is the Stunted X, which is ideal for new riders wanting to perfect their skills. Working the way up the range, the XT model is an advanced level scooter offering top spec at good value for money. It comes with BMX-style handlebars and is full of high spec features. 0121 748 8000
