FAQ

Frequently asked questions

WHY IS ROLLJET BETTER THAN OTHER KICK SCOOTERS?

Rolljet is on three wheels, rather than two. This means that it is much easier to ride, so it has a far shorter adjustment period than two-wheeled scooters. It also has a more sensitive steering mechanism, for better precision and more control. Most of our customers require just a matter of minutes of riding to feel entirely comfortable.

WHAT MATERIALS ARE ROLLJET SCOOTERS MADE OF?

It’s also an eco-product, as 95% of its materials are recyclable.

WHAT ABOUT ROLLJET SAFETY?

RollJet scooters are extremely stable due to their 3-wheel design. They have a precise steering mechanism for better driving control. The boards are reinforced with fiberglass for greater strength and durability. Scooters are equipped with a reflector, and the bags also have reflective elements that ensure the visibility of the user in the dark. We urge all users to wear helmets and guards at all times and to comply with all road traffic regulations. We have prepared a wide range of accessories for your safety.

IS ROLLJET EQUALLY STABLE WITH AND WITHOUT THE BAG ATTACHED?

RollJet is indeed just as stable with or without the bag. The key to this is the three wheels, which are designed to actually increased the stability when a full bag is attached, thanks to the low center of gravity.

IS ROLLJET GOOD FOR GROWNUPS, TOO?

The first RollJet model was designed for children, to help relieve them of the burden of their school bags. But it soon became clear that parents wanted to use them, as well. For adults, we recommend RollJet City (for users 130-190 cm tall) or RollJet Maxi (if you’re 160-200 cm tall). In addition to the scooter models for adults, we offer a range of stylish bags, from sporty to studious to business oriented.

WHY IS ROLLJET BETTER THAN AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER?

We at RollJet believe in promoting wellness and a healthy lifestyle. A key component is movement. Children spend most of their days at school, sedentary, so it’s important to take advantage of any chance to get them up and moving. The route to and from school is an ideal opportunity to do so. The same can be said for a grownup’s route to and from work. A leg-powered kick scooter, like RollJet, promotes a healthier lifestyle than an electric scooter. Plus, there’s no battery to keep filled!

RollJet is entirely made in Slovenia (EU).

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY CHILD OUTGROWS THEIR ROLLJET?

When your child outgrows this, then they can get the City model, good for heights up to 190 cm. If they are very tall, then they can get the Maxi, for heights up to 200 cm.
