Yvolution is not well-known in China, but its Fliker series abroad is one of the most classic series of Caster scooters. With this collection, Yvolution was named one of the top 20 popular toy brands by Toy Insider, an authoritative toy review media in the United States, in 2015, and won the silver medal of the National Parenting Publications Award in the United States in the same year. In recent years, Yvolution, which has been actively expanding its product line, has launched a series of Glider toddler scooters, Velo balance bikes, Neon skateboards, and Strolly tricycles, but the Fliker has not been updated enough.
The Caster scooter, also known as a Y-shaped or frog-shaped scooter, works on a completely different principle than a two-wheeled scooter. It has one front wheel, two rear wheels, and two rear wheels each with a pedal that are far apart from each other. When riding, the rider rolls the gimbal wheels forward by repetitively merging the legs. This method of gaining forward thrust by switching the center of gravity of the whole body makes it easier than two-wheeled scooters to perform movements such as large drifts, and the thrill of slalom skiing when riding, and is popular with some children and adults who love sports.
In Yvolution's Flicker series, the A1 and A3 are lighter and smaller in size, aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 7. The C1, C3 and C5, on the other hand, are more performance-oriented, with biker handlebars and reinforced pedals making them easier to handle when drifting, and the size and weight are increased for older kids. The newly launched LIFT model adds a front wheel off the ground function, and with the front wheel that can rotate 360 degrees, it can complete more tricks and give more room for experienced caster scooter riders to play. Compared with ordinary two-wheeled scooters, the Flicker series can exercise more body parts for children, but it is also more difficult to get started, coupled with the expensive price and large size, it is recommended to confirm the child's interest in the Caster scooter before buying.
Glider is Yvolution's newly developed range of scooters for toddlers, with an audience of 1-9 year olds. Among them, Deluxe 2.0 and Deluxe 4.0 are currently the two highest-selling models, and the grandson of US President Trump also uses them as a playmate for sliding on the streets. Its biggest feature is that the front of the car has a three-speed swing amplitude limit design, and parents can adjust the steering angle according to their children's proficiency to ensure safety. Deluxe2.0 is priced at 589 yuan, and Deluxe4.0 will add another 300 yuan on top of this, in exchange for a handlebar height (between 62-88cm) and a foldable design without gear restrictions, which is recommended for families whose children grow up fast and often carry scooters out for activities.
The Glider range includes a 3-in-1 multi-purpose scooter that can switch riding modes depending on the age of the child. This model is not much different from similar products from Globber and Micro in terms of risers, wheels and steering, the only thing worth criticizing is that its plastic saddle is connected to the riser, and the bottom is supported by steel bars, its stability and suspension capacity are not as good as Globber's Evo series, and it is also more troublesome to disassemble, which is less recommended.
